At a recent Philly show, New York indie-pop upstarts Cults pulled out a perfectly respectable cover of Leonard Cohen’s great 1989 synthetic-bleakness anthem “Everybody Knows,” which readers of a certain age will remember fondly as Christian Slater’s theme music from the ridiculously great 1990 movie Pump Up The Volume. (Seriously, Netflix that shit.) Watch Cults try their hand at the song below.

And don’t forget about the brand new Cohen song “Going Home,” which is well worth a listen.
UPDATE: Here are Cults doing the song in studio:

Christian Slater does not approve.
I’m still a fan of his own recordings lol I love his new song “Darkness” off “Old Ideas.” Can’t wait for the 31st so I can listen to the rest of his new stuff :) Right now Pitchfork is streaming the song: http://pitchfork.com/news/45048-listen-to-the-new-leonard-cohen-single/
