HE IS THE LAW

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

By popular demand, JUDGE POP is back from a lengthy patrol in the Cursed Earth, back to fight MUSIC CRIME on the mean streets of MEGA CITY POP. This week his legal scrutiny falls on PATRICK WOLF, who has risen to #1 on the Poptimists Listening Charts - but is he any good? The Judge's word is law - can you help guide him?

I had no idea he was a violin player. Hm.

I decided to listen to this last week just because everyone seems to be talking about it. On first, not-very-attentive pass, I found him much less indie than, say, Of Montreal. (What that means, I don't know.)

Yeah, I often think if Of Montreal would just get themselves a decent recording studio, things would go so much better but I guess they're happy splashing around in whatever pool they're in.

To me he's very much less indie than a lot of things, namely Rufus Wainwright who I cannot stand listening to longer than about two minutes of. The perma-loathesome but occasionally possibly perceptive NME compared him to Bowie awhile back, which I thought was reasonably pertinent.

NB last sentence there refers to Wolf not Wainwright.
