There will be stuff of content here soon enough. Until then, watch this ABSOLUTE GEM from 1991:

And an encore of sorts, five years later, with more talented people than ever:

Okay, now those were just far too amusing! Thank you for sharing!

It's an awesome song. The Civil War was great for gorgeous but depressing as hell songs.

And just how much does Rufus look exactly like his mother OMG?

Eastmountainsouth does an awesome version of it. But yes, depressing as hell.

And he so does, it was freaky!

Depressing isn't always bad; I mean, some of the best songs are the really sad ones.


Rufus Wainwright - Beauty Mark (live)

I have no idea where this version is from (I have the studio one on CD), but it's classic Rufus.

That is a very good version! Live versions can be a very happy thing.

So, when it comes to Rufus, are you a fan of his later albums at all?

Basically if Rufus sings it I love it. "Going to a Town" is one of my favourite songs ever (and gah, the video).

I haven't listened to Release the Stars as a whole nearly enough. Must rectify this. And I love the Want albums and his Judy Garland stuff (and I don't even really like Judy). So yeah. Not just about the Classic Stuff.
