Wolf goes political: are you Yank-ing my Cheney?
- Artists:
- Patrick Wolf »
Patrick Wolf's next album will see him broach more political subject matter.
Recording for the follow-up to The Magic Position has been heavily influenced by Wolf's experiences on tour in the US.
“I'm writing my fourth record right now and I just finished all the demos...it's quite a political record and a lot to do with my reaction to America during my recent tour."
Wolf continued:
“I'm not gonna start being a politician because I don't know much about politics, but I know how it feels to be living as a human being with all our governments fighting each other and killing people.
"This album will be communicating that through music and words.”
Music and words.

He really is a cock, isn't he?
Oh, Patrick.
Where did it all go wrong?
*predicts disaster*
and typical 'love-will save the world' type platitudes.
Good to get involved in politics paddy but try going on a march or something you major label twit.
"I don't know much about politics"
Please do some research before you write the album then
That having been said
it COULD be amazing. thats with added maybe though.
he saddens me recently
:( <--- like that
This guy doesn't think
before he opens his mouth. And his last album was turd.
Oh noes
His line on Lycanthropy about "All the fools in power" always makes me cringe. And this is going to be over a whole album...
I don't think
anyone could be worse at going political than Muse.
'how can we win, when fools can be kings?'
'destroy your demonocracy!'
*vomits*
You heard the magic position right?
And saw the Charlotte Church thing?
naaah
Absolution did the politics quite well. Its only bhar that it fucks up on, but thats because bhar is everything on absolution done too overtly to be anything other than cack.
or
stupid up-his-own-arse art singer disappears further up his own rectal passage
I thought the Magic Position was alright
I mean it is a massive change of mood from his last two albums but I rather like the direction he's taken. I haven't seen the Charlotte Church thing mind.
he may
be a knob, but he makes amazing music, lycanthropy=my most listened to album, wind in the wires= well i still listen to a lot. and the magic position was pretty good. anyway i remember reading that hes making a 2 album thingy like outkast did , one side classical, one side electronic in the veins of "death metal" his words not mine
oh my god
you are all cunts
haha
anyone who listens to muse for political witticisms is barking up the wrong tree anyway. they are cack at 'doing' political, but i don't think that's the point. wolf just seems like a mess at the minute. it's like entering the mainstream has made him embarrased to be who he's become.
leave him be,
he's a shy one.
I bet you were shy once!
