Oh god people keep talking to me about Patrick Wolf. I was piqued enough* to ask his PR for the new album and god it's unlistenable - overblown but still ineffective and wimpy, and again I don't understand why people would inflict their voice on people if they can really really not sing!
The first three songs, anyway, I had to turn it off after that.
Also have other reasons for hating not just P Wolf but the entire scene he's a part of, mostly to do with having ended up too close to it (but not close enough that I give a flying fvck about the tedious gossip emanating from it!!!!).
*saw him compared to Rufus Wainwright, whom I love, quite a lot, comparisons TOTALLY offbase though (they are both gay and a bit flamboyant and quite lavish in their ambition and that's about it). Key diff is, Rufus can make me laugh, P Wolf is entirely humourless as far as I can hear.
(The last.fm poptimists group is a total disgrace, looking at the most popular acts! How do they calculate it anyway - by how many group members listen to Artist X per week, or by how many times Artist X is listened to across the group?)
