Rufus Wainwright - Live at the Fillmore, San Francisco, 2004
This DVD was the first thing I had ever seen of Rufus. I remember my friend showing it to a group of us and I was like “This man is my hero.” And so it began…
Drinking coffee, getting ready for work, and listening to Rufus Wainwright.
This is an excellent start to my day.

There are more bands/artists I listen to, but I kind of obsess about making somewhat cohesive mixes, and they didn’t really fit in. But this is a pretty decent sampling of the kind of stuff I mostly listen to.
Zebulon by Rufus Wainwright is probably the most perfect song. Ever.
RUFUS WAINWRIGHT - The Art Teacher
He told me he liked Turner
And never have I turned since then
Barcelona | Rufus Wainwright
The summer sun set a vicious circus
When shadows held the world in place
But today I felt a chill in my apartment’s coolest place
Fuggi Regal Fantasima
The village larks cannot be heard
‘Cause all the crows got panderers
I can’t escape these velvet drapes
Don’t want my rings to fall off my fingers
Fuggi Regal Fantasima
The mirror I find hard to face
‘Cause I fear it’s a long way down
Got to get away from here
Think I know which hemisphere
Crazy me don’t think there’s pain in Barcelona
They dance you round a waltz confound
But I fear it’s a long way down
This road
Even if that straw I pulled
And I got to fight that bull
Nothing really does compare to Barcelona
Besides in Spain Don Juan’s to blame
But I fear it’s a long way down
And I fear I won’t be around
Got to get away from here
Think I know which hemisphere
Make sure I have all my papers
Laying out my summer clothes
Search for traps in vain like scratching
So my suitcase I can close
