Still loving everything about the glammed up decadence of young Wolf's The Magic Position LP, and not at all surprised at this clip's technicolor sets and song-and-dance act. How else could you possibly treat a song so irresistibly camp? Bonus points for the hair and shirt color sync. (via P4K)

Blank Dogs are actually singular: It's the insanely prolific one-man Brooklyn-based band of Mr. Blank Dog. We don't know too much about the biography of the guy behind the bedroom new-wave pop/punk and he's usually covering his face with masks...

Eric Pulido plays guitar in Midlake: The Texas band, who last released The Trials of Van Occupanther two years ago, are currently at work on a followup in their Denton studio. Pulido also stays busy running a coffee company Cappulido...

Pushing Noel off a stage in Toronto might bruise the erstwhile Oasis mouthpiece's ribs (maybe even his spirits) and cause the band to cancel a show or two, but nothing can stop the slow procession toward a new Oasis album....

the video is kind of blah by the end, there's a comparison between this one and Patrick's "Bluebells" over at obtusity (http://obtusity.blogspot.com), it seems like there's a pattern that connects both videos with the themes of the album.
Score = 0
hah! yes, i just wanted to see him point during "it's you!"
Score = 0
Wait a second... Wasn't this dude one of the lost boys in "Hook"?
Score = 0
dude's fake

his hair is terrible. great song though.

lovely
Score = 0
ha! i love it : )
i kinda think his hair looks cool...
Score = 0
hate that guy so much. must be one of the most annoying looking people in music. and i fail to see the attraction to his music aswell.
Score = 0
so, really, when the write up for the video is that it is "camp" you're surprised to find him "annoying looking"?
i know next to nothing about mr. wolf..though..did we see him a year ago..perhaps..but i'm guessing he doesn't dress in those costumes everday.
and...i'm all for a bit of exuberant pop..does it remind anyone else of the cure? in their happier moments, of course
Score = 0
yeah I find him extremely annoying and fake. He seems like a cocky smug bitch. Song is annoying.
Score = 0
that was actually more charming than i would have expected.
although i can only deal with patrick wolf in measured doses. otherwise i start contemplating heterosexuality as a viable option, and that's just no good.
i might have liked it better coming from one of those girl-group-revival acts that seem to be everywhere, these days.
Score = 0
He's not fake! I saw him strolling around Dublin yesterday with red hair, glitter everywhere, PatrickWolfClothes and a ukulele strapped to his back!
He supported Arcade Fire last night and was amazing, although I made him fall during his set.. :( hahaha
Score = 0
I disliked this video, it was a bit slow & not a lot happening (well not as much I wished). But loved "Bluebells" video.
Score = 0
it's like the super british indie version of "shiny happy people"
Score = 0
anyone else think this is totally crap? the song doesn't go anywhere, the vocals are terrible, and the lyrically "clever" chorus is an embarrassing joke. the end.
Score = 0
i'm not going to get into an argument, but you can all go to hell. Patrick is the man.
Score = 0
it's like the super british indie version of this:

glam, people. it's glam. anyone ever heard of some guy named david bowie? well...he had red hair (for a while) too.
Score = 0
he's a new genius, how can someone not see that ?
so special, i think he's one of the best singer of the 21th century.
