Hannekj 265 Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 I saw the song "Cigarettes and chocolate milk" while searching for another song, and I added it to my playlist, just because I liked the title Now I really like his music! I think Poses is a really great album 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Christine 420 Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Anyone here thinks it's very cool that Mika mentionned Rufus in Good Guys? Yes Mika has always cited Rufus as an influence/hero, from his early days of promo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ally Kate 16 Posted Tuesday at 08:44 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 08:44 PM It's rather sad that this thread has been dead for the last couple of years, especially considering that Rufus has recently released yet another magnificent album. Fingers crossed, he will gain some popularity amongst Mika fans after the I Love Beirut concert. I find that there is one crucial thing that both of them share: despite having been put through the wringer, they preserved their candour and they both have bright souls that just wash over any room with light. Anyone wishing to fangirl (or fanboy, for that matter) over Rufus – his masterful use of double entendre (Swings Both Ways, my God!), his Cohen covers (e.g. Everybody Knows), or his full monty bacchanalia at the end of 2012 tour – I'm at your service 🙌 P. S. I'll keep my hope low, but perhaps somebody will fall in love with his utter brilliance as well: rufus_wainwright-oh_what_a_world.mp4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
silver 15,844 Posted Tuesday at 09:21 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 09:21 PM There are a lot of Rufus fans around (especially @dcdeband @tiibet) but I think they tend to chat about him elsewhere. I first saw him when he performed "Vibrate" on Later With Jools Holland, and I was totally amazed by his performance. I can't describe myself as a huge fan, but there are a lot of his songs I like, and I rate his cover of "Across the Universe" as one of the best. Looking forward to seeing him in the Beirut concert.

silver 15,844 Posted Wednesday at 10:37 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 10:37 AM Actually I didn't phrase that very well, I mean that I'm not a huge fan in the sense of not buying all his records/going to gigs etc., not that I don't like him. I do have some Rufus albums Quote Link to post Share on other sites
