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)

As we pass saturation point for press coverage of Montreal, Portland, Brooklyn and et cetera, it seems Lawrence, Kansas is poised for its coming turn in the music media trend piece carousel. At least from what we're hearing; this marks...

The Bergen trio Ungdomskulen play proggy post punk, mixing chops and hooks with a sense of humor. But they don't sound like Primus. When I was in Norway a couple years ago, "Ungdomskulen" seemed to be on everybody's lips (or...

It's been some time since we learned Modern Guilt, Beck Hansen's eighth album, would be some sort of psych rock minimalist '60s trip with Danger Mouse. Since then, we've gotten a look at the old-school jazz/Blue Note-style cover art and...

After hearing "Gillian Was A Horse" from Damien Jurado's forthcoming Caught In The Trees, we contacted the Seattle singer-songwriter and asked if he'd want to premiere a track at Stereogum. Lucky for us (and you), it turned out he had...

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.

Wait a second... Wasn't this dude one of the lost boys in "Hook"?

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

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 ?
