No, it's Wainwright!
I love me some Rufus. I didn't really jump on the Rufus ride until he performed as the opening act for Tori Amos in 2001. I saw him four times that year on her tour and couldn't get over his voice. He had sass too and lots of fun stories. A few years ago, with Neko Case as his opening act (talk about ANOTHER great voice), I watched him put on an awesome show at the Charlottesville Pavilion. You've never seen Judy Garland until you've seen Rufus do Judy Garland...in heels...and tights...and lipstick...with dancing!
But, children, that's not the video/song I'm showing today. One of my favorite Rufus tunes is "Go or Go Ahead". It's just powerful. He gives the intro, which saves me from typing :)
Go or Go Ahead
Thank you for this bitter knowledge
Guardian angels who left me stranded
It was worth it, feeling abandoned
Makes one hardened but what has happened to love
You got me writing lyrics on postcards
Then in the evening looking at the stars
But the brightest of the planets is Mars
Then what has happened to love
So I will opt for the big white limo
Vanity fairgrounds and rebel angels
You can't be trusted with feathers so hollow
Your heaven's inventions, steel eyed vampires of love
You see over me, I'll never know
What you have shown to other eyes
Go or go ahead and surprise me
Say you've lead the way to a mirage
Go or go ahead and just try me
Nowhere's now here smelling of junipers
Fell off the hay bales,
I'm over the rainbows
But of Medusa kiss me and crucify
This unholy notion of the mythic power of love
Look in her eyes, look in her eyes
Forget about the ones that are crying
Look in her eyes, look in her eyes
Forget about the ones that are crying
Go or go ahead

It should be easy, like a monkey driving a speedboat
OR like a monkey playing with drumsticks.
Ok, so I find art-housey projects weird sometimes. This, is weird to me. I wish I could be all, YEAH! I love this stuff! But, I find it kinda creepy. Art provokes and at least I get that (like it or not). What I'm saying is that I don't really care for the video/stage production for the song.
What I actually DO like though, is the song itself. I heard the live version when it first hit the stores and grabbed it off of iTunes not too long after. So, enjoy the song (whether you watch the video or not). I believe I heard this sometime in 2007 (from the Live DVD package), so it's been out for a while. My post is late.
Marble House by The Knife
I cut your nails and comb your hair
I carry you down the stairs
I wanted to see right through from the other side
I wanted to walk a trail with no end in sight
The moment we believe that we have never met
Another kind of love it's easy to forget
When we are all alone then we do both agree
We have a thing in common this was meant to be
You close my eyes and soothe my ears
You heal my wounds and dry my tears
On the inside of this marble house I grow
And the seeds I sow will grow up prisoners too
The moment we believe that we have never met
Another kind of love it's easy to forget
When we are all alone then we do both agree
We have a thing in common this was meant to be
Now where's your shoulder
What is it's name
What's your scent
Say it again
If it goes faster can you still follow me
It must be safe when it's on TV
I raise my hands to heaven of curiosity
I don't know what to ask for
What has it got for me?
The others say we're hiding
It's as forward as can be
Some things I do for money
Some things I do for free

Easy
Where are my posts? Oh wait, I actually have to write them. Oops! And I notice now that some of the links from my older posts no longer work. That sucks! I'll try to replace them :)
How's about I just post some videos that I've been hanging onto for a while now. Probably at least for a year! Crazy. I'm sure I wanted to post commentary with them at some point, but maybe I'll come back and do that. Darn it. I'm remembering some of them now. Oh well. VID-E-OS! VID-E-OS! VID-E-OS!
Morningwood. David Letterman. Chantal kicks ass. And don't EVER challenge that girl at a concert. Your ass will be on stage and half naked within 2 minutes. I've seen it happen in person. I will say that she does have a way of putting you in a trance.
Easy
You want it all
You want it cheap
You want some peace
So you can sleep
You want somebody to care
You want somebody to know
You wanna live the lie
The lie that's in your head.
(It's so easy)
You want it easy
(When you're gone)
Easier said than done
(It's so easy)
You want it easy
It gets easy when you're gone
You want some money to spend
You want somebody to share
You want somebody to see
That life ain't treatin you fair
(It's so easy)
You want it easy
(When you're gone)
Easier said than done
(It's so easy)
You want it easy
It gets easy when you're gone
You
Want
It
All
Time is gonna get you if you like it or not,
Waiting round the corner or around the block
I know you know you want it all.
You want it all I want it easy You want it all
(It's so easy)
You want it easy
(When you're gone)
Easier said than done
(It's so easy)
You want it easy
It gets easy when you're gone
I want I want I want it easy (It's so easy)
You want you want it all (When you're gone)
You want you want you want it easy (It's so easy)
It gets easy when you're gone
You want it easy
It gets easy when you're
