So,we stalled out with Bjork and some rant Trixie penned while drunk and yearning and being forced to dance, probably, to a horrendous mash-up of “Rumpshaker†and “Bird Flu†(called “Rump Fluâ€-you young folks get that one for free).
If life for you right now is anything at all nearing what it is on this end, you could use some tried-and-trusty. Trixie begged for sincerity? So does Rufus:
Rufus Wainwright: Do I Disappoint You?
The first song from Rufus Wainwright’s forthcoming Release The Stars travels familiar territory for any who made the Want One/Two trek into hell and back with the flamboyant balladeer-but it ups both intensity and accessability. The strings, the backing choir, Rufus’ damn-near shout, questioning to some unnamed force:
“why does it always have to be fire? Brimstone/? Desire?â€
The entire song is a call to be what you are-and the album as a whole is the best thing Rufus has done, ever. If you’ve ever found his stuff to be *too* much, shy away from “Release The Starsâ€. However, if you’ve ever wanted Rufus unleashed…have at it.
I’m sure Hacks will eventually post a JusticeKraft remix of this that sounds like kittens eating jerky in a blender. I’m excited.
