( HOW TO ACQUIRE TICKETS FOR AN AUGUST 31 RUFUS WAINWRIGHT SHOW IN MONTREAL )
I'm thinking sororial unit can afford to pay me back her half of the 100$ for this one. :D
Rufus Wainwright has historically been hit or miss with me: I like the obvious numbers like "Cigarettes and Chocolate Milk", but other songs slide off without making an impression, and I don't think I've ever played one of his albums all the way through (maybe this is the problem). So I'm a little surprised by how much I like Release The Stars. It's even less in the mainstream of modern indie singer-songwriter-ness than what preceded it, but hopefully no one on my flist is going to fail a piece of pop music for being 1) too fruity or 2) sounding as if it were composed and orchestrated circa "Lady of Spain". XD;
The following are tracks 8 and 10-11 or something like that; operate under the assumption that the first half of the album is better. I also didn't upload the one that's supposedly about Brandon Flowers, but let me state for the record that I'm not surprised. At all.
Rufus Wainwright - Slideshow: so OTT it makes me smile. (To be honest, the character portrayed reminds me of Atobe Keigo. I said something to this effect to my sister and she was like, "I-I don't think that's a character.")
Rufus Wainwright - Leaving For Paris No.2: dreamy, understated ballad.
Rufus Wainwright - Sanssouci: quoted the lyrics at![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
canis_m who is hard at work on a fic of the same name (coincidentally). Although my immediate association with the word "Sanssouci" is not the real place but Legend of Galactic Heroes, which makes for a fairly roffle-inducing mental music video.
I love this kind of throwback gramophone pop - Feist did it too, with the last four tracks on the Let It Die reissue.
Rufus Wainwright - Going To A Town (Youtube link, not download)
petronia: ...Doesn't he kind of remind you of Morrissey at times?
joliefolie: No?
joliefolie: In what way?
petronia:
petronia: OH I DON'T KNOW
Album review backlog, as of today: four. The book review backlog can barely be countenanced. XD;
