I just want to know if anybody's heard the Rufus Wainwright >album? I listened to most of it yesterday and REALLY liked it. Kind >of a moer folksy Radiohead meets the Divine Comedy (the strings) and >Ben Folds Five (the piano playing). I just thought I'd spread the >word...
Oh my dear! i have been smitten with this CD since february (and it didn't come out until May) when I first heard him on KCRW's Morning Becomes Eclectic. He did an in studio performance that I happend to catch half of. (amazing since i'm not usually up early enough to hear it). And now that I have the CD, it's barely left my player since the day I bought it. I've been playing it in the car a lot...and my dad likes him. He's also decided that he likes Pulp, as I was playing bits of This Is Hardcore in the car as well. My dad is so hip. And if you would like to hear a sampling of fair Rufus' mucis, check out his KCRW appearance in the KCRW archives at www.liveconcerts.com. check out the february one as it is longer and better than his May appearance. Get the hence. There will be a quiz, so pay attention:) ~Courtney The Sultraness of Swing "Go to all the poshest places, with their familiar faces...." ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Hi there. I was in a pub quiz the other day and was appalling. So I thought some practise would be a good idea. Anyone fancy testing the intellectual might of the Sinister list with a little quiz of some kind? Or is that an abuse of the list? Still, it's a thought... I've been giving career advice today to a 15-year-old, and I don't even know where I'm going. Does that make me a wee bit hypocritical? Not that it matters - in 4 days I'm going to have more than enough time to ruminate on the situation. All this talk of exams and such makes me almost nostalgic - telling this girl about the joys of university and how good everything was there does make me hanker just a little for the old days...the best thing ever (unnecessary hyperbole, I know, but hear me out) was the fact that Euro 96 started the day after my final final, and the sun shone for 3 weeks solid...heaven. Big up to da Rootes posse, in the house, as it were. And now the World Cup and the dole. Not quite the same thing, but if any Londoner Sinistrians fancy loafing in a pub one World Cup afternoon, let me know... Popstarz was kickin' on Friday - yer missing out, Katrina and Susannah and everyone else who deserted us...Not as kickin' as Bluesoda, natch, but what is, eh. Won't be able to make this Friday - I have to entertain my Australian cousin who I've never met. And while I'm on the subject (eh?), Rory's "jumpers for goalposts" is a fabbo idea - where's the enthusiasm? I know we're being a bit parochial, but it's like that (and that's the way it is, etc.). C'mon kids, let's get a team together! FC Velocity Girl and Cranes United, your ass belongs to Atletico Bella y Sebastiao... Enough already. Won't even go on about Kate Bush this time (Breathe in. Out. In. Out...) Marky C. comin' atcha xxxxxxxx ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .
