So, a page dedicated to my newest obsession, Rufus Wainwright. Hmm, what to say, what to say? What about a list. Lists are fun, right? Everyone likes lists!

Seven Reasons Murron Loves Rufus Wainwright

1. He has a beautiful voice. Mostly tenor, but he can dip down into the low register deliciously, and can hit high notes respectably well.
2. He is a very poetic and lyrical songwriter.
3. He can use big words like 'perfunctory' and not sound like a dolt or a snobby fuckhead.
4. He is proud of being gay without being overtly pretentious about it, laughing at idiot homophobes instead of actually getting offended. ("The body parts don't fit? Oh, THEY FIT!" Take that Rev. Sheldon!!)
5. Two words: GAP ad.
6. He has no problem with whoring himself out for movie soundtracks to get himself some publicity (think Shrek, Big Daddy, Moulin Rouge).
7. Damn, those hips!!::

Nice. Very nice.

Want to hear a little bit of Rufus? Why not download a rip of Instant Pleasure?

If you like what you hear, please please please go out and pick up one of his albums. He actually needs your business. He's not a billionaire popstar, and the feasibility of future projects rely on sales. Pretty please. I'll love you forever...
