momus, you obviously haven't heard his first album.

― cutty (mcutt), Monday, 31 October 2005 14:17 (twenty years ago)

"I was once a booooooooooooooooy / until I CUT MY PENIS OFF!!!!!" being a sample lyric from his first record.

― Sick Mouthy (Nick Southall), Monday, 31 October 2005 14:31 (twenty years ago)

Haha.

I finally tracked down a copy of 'Lycanthropy' and now concur with Alex in Doncaster. 'Wind in the Wires' is still great but I think I prefer the demonic shriekfests and skittery beats, thanks.

And yes, he is annoyingly pretty.

― Roz (Roz), Monday, 31 October 2005 14:33 (twenty years ago)

My girlfriend absolutely adores the lanky bastard.

― Sick Mouthy (Nick Southall), Monday, 31 October 2005 14:44 (twenty years ago)

I should point out that he's a clear foot taller and considerably fresher-faced than I am.

― Sick Mouthy (Nick Southall), Monday, 31 October 2005 14:44 (twenty years ago)

Well, I'd still hit it. :p

But not before I suppress the irrational urge to slap him as I always do with unbelievably good-looking (and don't they know it!) guys.

― Roz (Roz), Monday, 31 October 2005 14:59 (twenty years ago)

Roz with her good-looking male friends:

"Hi!"

"Hi Roz! Don't hit me!"

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 31 October 2005 15:01 (twenty years ago)

Haha.

Besides, I don't have any ridiculously good-looking male friends. Maybe that's the problem. Hmm...

― Roz (Roz), Monday, 31 October 2005 15:05 (twenty years ago)

five months pass...

reviving this thread because i periodically fantasize about patrick wolf's feet dangling off the edge of my bed, and because his new album, the magic position, is due out hopefully soonish. i'm going to go ahead and make what i think is the first joke about this album title, in that i would gladly find the magic postion with him. har. i can't wait to hear it. i hope he isn't gay so i can at least slightly more realistically pretend i could someday live in a castle in ireland with him or something, but if he's gay that makes him even more wonderful somehow.

the more i listen to both lycanthropy and wind in the wires, the more i love them.

― Emily B (Emily B), Tuesday, 18 April 2006 03:28 (twenty years ago)

i think he is as gay as that fantasy poos guy

― cutty (mcutt), Tuesday, 18 April 2006 03:32 (twenty years ago)

man I haven't thought of Patrick Wolf for months; when is this new album supposed to be out?

― Roque Strew (RoqueStrew), Tuesday, 18 April 2006 13:12 (twenty years ago)

Album was due in June but has been delayed - and July tour cancelled - due to ill health.

― ledge (ledge), Tuesday, 18 April 2006 13:41 (twenty years ago)

He debuted material live the other week at the Barbican, I think. A (gay, actually) musician friend of mine who went said it was wicked!

x-post - gutted.

― Sick Mouthy (Nick Southall), Tuesday, 18 April 2006 13:42 (twenty years ago)

Holy Schmoly, I just saw the "Wind In The Wires" video, it's full of Patrick Wolf nakedness. I think I almost came in my pants.

I think The Magic Position is my most anticipated album of 2006.

― danzig (danzig), Wednesday, 19 April 2006 03:36 (twenty years ago)

'Undiagnosed internal illness'?! Teamwolf (Patrick Wolf's mouthpiece) is a pompous little piece, isn't he?

It all sounds more than a little suspicious to me. Whatever it was it came on to him suddenly, I heard the Barbican gig was masterly. I smell a rat(catcher).

― klee (klee), Wednesday, 19 April 2006 10:20 (twenty years ago)

I was told the first half of the Barbican gig was prissy and awkward, but the second half was awesome.

― Sick Mouthy (Nick Southall), Wednesday, 19 April 2006 10:20 (twenty years ago)

Bought the second album this week and thought it was ace, much better than i ever expected it to be.

― Michael Lambert (Michael Lambert), Wednesday, 19 April 2006 19:37 (twenty years ago)

So can someone please confirm if he's gay or not??
His music is great and i think ill really be happy if he is gay. To me that just makes his song make more sense and more intimate in meaning. so can someone please confirm?

― denma, Saturday, 22 April 2006 05:44 (twenty years ago)

He's not gay. Sorry.

― Danielle, Wednesday, 26 April 2006 10:18 (twenty years ago)

Also: He doesn't have to be gay to be intimate with the songs. He could be straight, and it'd be the same way. I don't understand how you think he should be gay for the songs to be more intimate in meaning. He wrote them; he's intimate with them by default.

― Danielle, Wednesday, 26 April 2006 10:28 (twenty years ago)

what about the song where he sings about cutting his penis off and having a vagina?

― cutty (mcutt), Wednesday, 26 April 2006 11:02 (twenty years ago)

Doesn't mean he's gay, just fancies being a castrato.

― Sick Mouthy (Nick Southall), Wednesday, 26 April 2006 11:03 (twenty years ago)

Also there's a particularly badly-worded post on his messageboard from his management stating in no uncertain terms that he IS NOT DYING and that fans should stop their sensationalist speculation because he IS NOT DYING. Which might mean that he's dying. Or it might mean his management are cack-handed eejits who don't know how to handle PR.

― Sick Mouthy (Nick Southall), Wednesday, 26 April 2006 11:04 (twenty years ago)

four months pass...

revive!

new single posted on his new site and on myspace, but i am mightily irritated that only the first minute or so of it is available! what gives?!

but hey, it's a really promising minute. it's called "accident and emergency" and it's much bouncier than most anything off "lycanthropy" or "WITW".

― Emily B (Emily B), Monday, 18 September 2006 03:16 (nineteen years ago)

Hmm, noted...

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 18 September 2006 04:19 (nineteen years ago)

Ha, with the red hair he looks like Tiga.

― Roz (Roz), Monday, 18 September 2006 06:04 (nineteen years ago)

two of my favorite homos

― cutty (mcutt), Monday, 18 September 2006 11:29 (nineteen years ago)

Tiga's hetero, though, isn't he? Believe it or not, etc.

― Telephonething (Telephonething), Monday, 18 September 2006 11:43 (nineteen years ago)

Patrick's meant to be straight too. A gay popstar friend of mine was mightily disappointed.

― Sick Mouthy (Nick Southall), Monday, 18 September 2006 11:49 (nineteen years ago)

Patrick Wolf is music for people who go to renn faires. I always turn him on at my D&D parties.

― vingt regards (vignt_regards), Monday, 18 September 2006 11:58 (nineteen years ago)

haha

― cutty (mcutt), Monday, 18 September 2006 12:15 (nineteen years ago)

that single snippet is so fucking good.

― cutty (mcutt), Wednesday, 20 September 2006 12:48 (nineteen years ago)

Hmmm...

:-D

rockin' shoes.

― Roz (Roz), Friday, 22 September 2006 15:41 (nineteen years ago)

Lovely. I'm excited about the Marianne Faithfull duet.

― danzig (danzig), Friday, 22 September 2006 15:56 (nineteen years ago)

oh my.

― Emily B (Emily B), Friday, 22 September 2006 16:07 (nineteen years ago)

not gay? ROFL

― cutty (mcutt), Friday, 22 September 2006 16:25 (nineteen years ago)

the intro to the new one really had me hoping he was going all Atari Teenage Riot. still pretty great though.

― Fetchboy (Felcher), Friday, 22 September 2006 16:58 (nineteen years ago)

It is sooo cruel to tease us with that 1-minute MySpace excerpt

― Roque Strew (RoqueStrew), Friday, 22 September 2006 21:17 (nineteen years ago)

Patrick Wolf is, at best, my favorite musician ever, and at worst my second favorite.

But!

I was disappointed by "Accident and Emergency" (p.s. it's not hard to find the whole song if you are willing to bypass the usual avenues of music acquisition); in fact I think it may be his least fantastic song ever. Which sounds idiotic, but whatever. The Anthony Robbins-level "I can make it on my own!" lyric would be excused by a catchy melody or even just a particularly interesting beat, both of which are utterly absent. It's a fair-to-middling slice of electro that makes itself out to be far more anthemic than it actually is. I don't even miss the violin or the ukulele or Cornwall! It's just that he already wrote this song, and it was called "Tristan" and it was good because there was grunting and cursing and black hair. Now there is sunshine and bright red hair and a turquoise sequined t-shirt and against all odds, it's just not that amazing.

I think my biggest problem with it is the fact that it makes next to no sense if you're not already into Wolf. After two listens to A&E the best thing I could find to say about it was, "Oh, he's happy, that's so GOOD for him!" It's nice to hear emotions in his music besides despondency, anger, nostalgia, abject misery, etc. etc. Except--and I hate to say it--I kind of liked his music better when he was dark and troubled and gothic and making interesting music.

None of which is to say that I'm not listening to the song 3-4 times a day and singing along.

three months pass...

i have heard the new patrick wolf album, in full.

it is making me quite astonishingly happy right now. i can't believe how much i love this man.

― Emily Bjurnhjam (Emily Bjurnhjam), Friday, 5 January 2007 00:43 (nineteen years ago)

should we post that cover again?

― cutty (mcutt), Friday, 5 January 2007 00:51 (nineteen years ago)

cover of what? or the cover of the album?

― Emily Bjurnhjam (Emily Bjurnhjam), Friday, 5 January 2007 00:56 (nineteen years ago)

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/f/ff/B000LRY9WM.01._SS500_SCLZZZZZZZ_V49585575_.jpg

i love it!

― Emily Bjurnhjam (Emily Bjurnhjam), Friday, 5 January 2007 01:27 (nineteen years ago)

The album cover is a little dodgy but I love it anyways, though I much prefer this.

How is the new album btw? I've heard the title track and while I think it's great, it's sprightliness and optimism is a little jarring. It makes me jealous that someone's been putting Patrick in the magic position.

― danzig (danzig), Friday, 5 January 2007 02:49 (nineteen years ago)

ughhhhhhhhh

― ()()()---()()() (internet), Friday, 5 January 2007 03:37 (nineteen years ago)

i think the first post on this thread pretty much sums up the response to new album cover

― critique de la vie quotidienne (modestmickey), Friday, 5 January 2007 05:41 (nineteen years ago)

first post = me

― cutty (mcutt), Friday, 5 January 2007 05:43 (nineteen years ago)

i know.
