i like his cover of the beatles song....why on heavens name is the title not comming to me??

ugh!

Across The Universe

he covered This Boy too

I went looking for it cos I remember Aesthetic_Dame opening one but maybe it was on the old board.
I only knew some stuff from his first album (e.g. Natasha) and didn't like it much but when I heard'The one you love' on the radio I really liked it. ...and since it's only 10 Euros I bought his new album 2 days ago. I haven't gotten far with it yet but I think I quite like it.
Your thoughts?

I don't find him attractive.
Seriously.

I like The Art Teacher, The One you love (the bridge is blah though), Peach Trees and Agnus Dei so far.

The best song by him I've heard is Evil Angel though.

its on the last page of this forum
I'll merge it
by the way... my avatar=Rufus

You can get his live CD now
it just came out here like yesterday...

its Alright, Already - Live in Montreal

i saw him at summerfest, it was a real good show

I really ought to listen to Poses.

i like him alot i had i picture of him on my school diary and my friend made fun of his sideburns

Why did I not find it? I really went looking for it. Thanks.
I knew your ava was connected to him but I still don't know what it is.

I just opened the newspaper and there is a whole page about Rufus.

He does seem to suddenly be becoming well-known.

... great...
Uh well, I would like to see him live really but not as upliner for Keane. oO

Yes I've heard his dad and sister
I have a couple of Martha's EPs and 3 of Loudon's albums
my parents used to sing "Dead Skunk" to me and my brother all the time when we were growing up lol

I've heard his mom, aunt, and cousins too...

I Don't Know What It Is

I don't know what it is
But you got to do it
I don't know where to go
But you got to be there
I don't know where to fall
But I know that its comfortable where
I don't know where it is

Putting all of my time
In learning to care
And a bucket of rhymes
I threw up somewhere
Want a locket of who
Made me lose my perfunctory view
Of all that is around
And of all that I do

So I knock on the door
Take a step that is new
Never been here before
Is there anyone else here too
In love with beauty
Playing all of the games
Who thinks three's company
Is there anyone else who wears slightly mysterious brusies
I don't know what it is

Take a lookin around
At friendly faces
All declaring a war on far off places
Is there anyone else who is through with complaining about what's
Done unto us

So I knock on the door
And I am on the train
Going god knows where to
To get me over
To get me over

Give me heaven or hell
Calais or Dover

I was hoping the train
Was my big number
Stopping in Santa Fe and the arches of Topeka
Though I'm chugging along, put away by the crossing hand
We'll be heading for Portland, or Limburgh or Lower Manhattan
Find myself running around

I don't know what it is so get me over
I don't know what it is so get me over
I don't know what it is so get me over
To get me over
You gotta do it.
You gotta be there.

anyways....do you know what made him write that song? its an interesting story...

Wee, I'm starting to really like Rufus now. I do think I will be buying an album of his in the near future.

I'm obsessed with the song "Rebel Prince". Gosh I must've listened to it a hundred times that one day.

You misread, I said that I do plan on buying one.

Tell it

I didn't know Memphis Skyline was about Jeff Buckley. I adore Jeff.

Anyway, anyone else thinks that his new album sounds a lot like Radiohead sometimes?

I don't get why all the reviews say that the first song is horrible and not at all like the rest. I really enjoy it.

Well the story goes...
Rufus was at the CD premeire party for The Strokes' Is This It? and the strokes and alot of people there were basically bouncing off the walls leaving Rufus utterly confused so he sat down and started writing a song and just wrote "I don't know what it is, but you gotta do it..." So its kind of a play on words almost.
The Stokes said Is This It? and rufus replies "I don't know what it is.."
anyways he was just going to write a song about the party but it evolved as he continued writing it later to just being confused with everything in his personal life.

lol yeah...
the first time I saw him he introduced "Harvester Of Hearts" and said "I wrote this song for this straight guy I was trying to seduce. I played it for him and we had sex...so it worked...but I won't name names...but I want to dedicate this song to Jack White...he lives here right? JACK ARE YOU HERE?? ::fakes crying:: Jaaaaaack you never come seee meee...

I dunno...its much funnier when he does it

lol! I have no clue what that one is

but he makes up alot of stories to introduce songs too
hes great live isn't he, between great music he has you doubled over in laughter

nah...I don't watch Leno much



me too, when he did I'll Build a Stairway to Paradise
have you seen the Aviator? Rufus, Martha, and Loudon all have cameo's in it


Yeah shes good live. I met her shes really nice.


Carl Barat from the libs
I'm probably going to change it up soon
I've had the same signature since the old forum....
I won't let go of Ryco though bahaha

My mum just told me he saw his mum and his aunt live once.

...episode of what?
Absolutley Fabulous?

My mum called me earlier that day and told me she d have a suprise for me tonight.
She bought tickets to see Rufus in May. YAY!

rufus is gay, literally

but the man does make good music, i'll give him that

I don't know much about him personally. I'm not a big fan of his looks but who cares.

yeah, he is

i love rufus wainwright....and martha. she's coming out with a new cd. i hope it's as good as his cds are.

I saw him live yesterday.

Why didn't you warn me? He put up quite a show.

I loved it. It got better and better. I also really liked when he just talked and blabbed, it was really nice.

I got the setlist, including his footprints, haha
