Canada's own Allison Crowe got mad props from Hollywood director Zack Snyder for helping inspire his current release The Watchmen. In fact, two of her recordings were originally in the film, though ultimately her music proved too beautiful for a scene in which leather/latex fetishism of costumed crime-fighting conquers male impotence. "I originally had a different version of 'Hallelujah' on that scene - it was the version by Allison Crowe, and it was really beautiful," he explains to the Boston Phoenix. "Too beautiful, as it turned out, because when I showed it to my buddies, they were like, 'Wow, you really mean this, this love scene.' So I was like, okay, that didn't work." Undaunted, Crowe is preparing a tour of Canada and Europe.
