Or, NEW PATRICK WOLF! What can I say, my favourites are giving me plenty of obsession-worthy material this week.Patrick's new song is menacing, and dark, and electro dirty, and I love it. It will take us places. As for the video? Refer to the title, and watch:Patrick Wolf - Vulture I'm having such a good week!

In my mind, every song has images. It just so happens that the songs I like the most, are the ones I get the most vivid images for.Patrick Wolf's songs are like poems dipped in melody and lyricism. Rebecca Dautremer's {a French book illustrator, writer and comic designer} images balance between reality & fairy tales in a wonderful way. I'd love to see the two artists paired professionally. I'd...

Patrick Wolf's upcoming album might be come to be his best one yet. What you might already know: Wolf announced to NME his plan to sell £10 shares of his new album "Battle" on Bandstocks.com. "Basically, you can invest in the finishing of the album and the production of it, and you get a share in the album. So you almost become part of the record company, like a co-owner of the album."What you ..

Tilda Swinton has an Oscar and now she's got a spot on Patrick Wolf's fourth studio album The Bachelor, out digitally on June 2nd. The goth-meets-electronica multi-instrumentalist and recent NYLON Records signee Wolf broke through with 2007's The Magic Position. On this new one, the first in a series of two albums that "narrate a story of pessimism regarding love" Wolf not only finds himself ma...

Yea yea, I know you've all been IMPATIENTLY waiting for this one, haha!I've been listening to alot of new albums to make sure I didn't miss anything that should be included on my list. I've heard some good stuff but most of it just didn't keep my attention long enough. Like The National- huh? Just don't get the furor over their cd. Sigh ...

Englishman At The Moulin Rouge - LautrecWell, my lovely MOGgers, the time has (almost) come for me to head off for a fortnight on my jolly holidays. Tomorrow morning, je prendrai le train (as our Gallic cousins would probably say - although my french is a little rusty) for a week in Paris, before taking the sleeper across the Pyrenees to say hola to Barcelona for 6 days. Then, presuming I can...

Patrick Wolf wrote a beautiful blog entry on his myspace this week about his exciting travels and adventures recently. What really caught my attention, was a paragraph near the end about meeting Patti Smith on someone's front porch. A meeting which is leading him into another exciting adventure! Here is an excerpt:patti smith and I met on the stairs at hurst house, and we ended up playing th...

While there are many words you can use to describe south London troubadour Patrick Wolf, “normal” certainly isn’t one of them. Accomplished in over 16 instruments, ranging from the eccentric Appalachian Dulcimer to the rather mundane guitar, he has been living off his music since the age of 16, busking around Europe before finding fame with 2003’s Lycanthropy. Falling under the unhelpfully

I know, don't slap me, we are lucky that Mog has't become a sludge hole of media cats pimping free downloads in exchange for email addresses and weird illusive invites for 'new band launches' in Green Point. I don't seek to taint the waters, just make the lot a bit merrier. So I figured I'd invite my trusted Moggerinas and Moggitos to a lil indie event I am throwing tonight...no big corporate m...

My friend "Helen":http://mog.com/QueenofHell, has been a supporter of Patrick Wolf since Day 1 here on MOG. She did us the favor of a "wonderful introduction":http://mog.com/QueenofHell/blog_post/24354 to the man's work. I had heard of him, but hadn't heard him, but who was I to resist her pleas that I listen? So I did. It was _good_.I picked up Lycanthropy and Wind in the Wires, and liked them...

Patrick Wolf is looking rather Ziggy Stardust in the photo above isn't he?! Armed with his ukulele and legions of fans, Patrick is set to release his first single from "The Bachelor" called "Vulture" on April 20th. Patrick had this to say about the new single:"The lyrics are a product of a state of exhaustion and negativity that I found myself in half way through the long international tours.

Been wanting to type another post for a while. I am getting so lazy lately as you can see from the time between my posts (I used to post daily, assuming I had Internet access) now it's much less frequent. Also I am totally lazy when it comes to browsing other Mogger's posts. I'll have a look at a couple of other Mogs now and then but never go for a "proper" browse. Some days I don't visit M...

It cannot be denied that Patrick Wolf belongs in the Great MOG 501.I love Patrick Wolf, as many of you know already. I love him because he is exceptionally talented and creative, both musically and lyrically. He has an amazing voice. I also love him because he's so strange (in a good way)*. He has been making music since he was 12 and has produced 2 excellent albums Lycanthropy and Wind in t...

On Friday I finally received my copy of Patrick Wolf's new album The Bachelor after having seen him the previous Friday.I'm just gonna post my thoughts on the gig - cause I suck at reviews - and intial impressions of the album.I saw Patrick in Glasgow at the Classic Grand on May 29th. So here's my thoughts:* Maybe it's because I'm not that into the Indie scene or maybe it's because they weren'...
