    Where's Loudon? To busy making random cameos in Judd Apatow movies?


    I love me some Rufus.

    @thatsspinach: I think the divorce made that whole mom and dad together thing a bit awkward. Though Rufus has toured with his half-sister...

    I'm loving all the Wainwright loving here! Rufus is adorable. And have you ever heard Martha sing Stormy Weather? CRY!

    Martha Wainwright is going to marry me. But she is not aware of it yet. I'm stocking up on flowers. So far I have over 140 000 lillies in a storage facility.

    Rufus is like Christmas cookies. The right time of year, the right mood, there's nothing more delightful. But too much of either will send you over the edge.

    @brendastarlet is on it: My 18-year-old self begs to differ. My poor mother. She heard near constant Rufus wafting from my room in 1999. Good times!

    Rufus Wainwright? OMG!!!!!1!!

    (Seriously though, his music is amazing. Sort of the bridge between Lightspeed Champion, M. Ward, and Adam Green, but different.)

    Oh. Mah. Gah! I just have to say thank you so much, Dodai, for making my shitty day instantly perfect. I have been a rabid Rufus fan for over TEN YEARS now. I have meet him twice and know every word of literally every song he sings. Thank you so much for brining the utter Rufus fabulousness to Jez!!!

    My love for Rufus knows no bounds. And anyone who can write and sing a song whose chorus is "Bloody motherfucking asshole" as beautifully as Martha W. does is freaking awesome, as far as I'm concerned.

    "This summer I went swimming/this summer I might have drowned/but I held my breath and I kicked my feet and I moved my arms around..."


    The McGarrigle sisters were the soundtrack to our family roadtrips as kids, and that song is still one of my favourites. Amazing family.

    @Eeva: Me too. My Mum took me to see them when I was around 7 and Rufus and Martha came out, this was years ago when they were still teenagers. I remember "The Swimming Song" best of all.
    As I've grown up my love for the entire family has grown and grown.

    @AbJams: Oh yes, there is major family baggage. They all communicate with each other through song. Loudon is amazingly talented, but it doesn't sound like he was a very good father. Rufus has written many songs about the relationship.

    Dear Martha Wainwright,


    Please come over to my house and sing to me. Later, we can play Scrabble. You can bring Rufus too, if you want. I'll make some great snacks.


    Sincerely,


    Annabellie
