Sorry if this girl is somebody that posts here, but I needed to show people this because it pretty much made my day.

i remember that! someone who did a youtube interview w/ damian took that picture and Damian said he gave that shirt to rufus.and they flashed that picture in the video.

Haha, yeah, that girl is the one who did the interview. Ohhh Rufus.

Due to the hype about Rufus here, I've decided to check his music out. I told you that I was beginning to like him.

Since that last post, I have a minor infatuation with him right now. I ordered Poses on the internet and I bought Want One at Best Buy a couple of days ago. It's a good album, I've been listening to it a lot since I've bought it. And I'm still waiting for Poses to come.

I even listened to him for most of the four hour trip to Grand Rapids on Thursday when I went to see the Dresden Dolls (they were amazing, by the way).

I'm hoping that he will tour in the U.S. soon . . . again.

Aw, I'm really glad you like him. Want One is definitely my favourite.

I read in Rolling Stone the other day that his Carnegie Hall concert is coming out on CD soon and that he's heading to Berlin this summer to start a new album!!

THREAD NECROMANCY!

I didn't want to start another one and Rufus is brilliant. We should talk about him and stuff.

This one is even cuter.

You guys need to listen to his whole family, most of them are musicians.

Dad - Loudon Wainwright III
Mum & Aunt - Kate & Anna McGarrigle
Sisters - Martha Wainwright and Lucy Wainwright Roche (there's Lexie, too, but she's not even in high school yet)

I also recommend the "McGarrigle Hour" album (they have a Christmas one, too) where you get to hear his cousins Sylvan and Lily and other aunts and uncles.

My dad was/is a huge Kate & Anna fan. That's how I discovered Rufus, oddly enough.

women60banana

Loudon is one of my absolute favourite artists. If he weren't such a dick, I'd wish he was my dad.

auntscale1

Awww. I like Loudon, though yeah, I have heard he's a huge jerk! I really like that one song of his, I Wish I Was A Lesbian. It always makes me giggle.

women60banana

Well, I mean, when your own daughter writes a song about you called "Bloody Mother Fucking Asshole"...

auntscale1

HAHAHA yeah that's where I'd heard he was a huge jerk from. Also, when Rufus was having issues with his meth addiction, he said he needed to live with a huge asshole so he stayed with Loudon...

LolaBert

*sigh*
Thank you all for posting those lovely videos!!
