my scottish ex can pretty much nab my musical tastes in less than three notes. his track record is quite exceptional. he turned me on to super furry animals. gomez. the kings of leon. and countless others. so, a few weeks ago when i got a mass email (and i've never seen him once do a mass email) telling all of us to run out and buy the new rufus wainwright i sat up and took notice. it took me a while to get my paws on it (so, despite paying attention, i didn't run out and buy... but still). it finally arrived on friday. and i haven't made it through the whole cd yet because i keep getting stuck on the first song. i love it. and so i play it. three times in a row. (okay, or seven). and then put it away for a little while. and then play it again. :) luckily for you, you can listen to it online.
and that said, i hope you like it and that i didn't build it up too high.
i love these lyrics:
why am i always traveling
and not in love
still i think i'm doing fine
oh wouldn't it be a lovely headline
life is
beautiful
on the new york times
