LIVE WONGIE: rufus wainwright - zebulon (live @ qtv) / zebulon (live @ the guardian)

rufus wainwright - zebulon (live @ qtv)
[the last track of rufus' upcoming album 'all days are nights: songs for lulu', the song was actually written back in 2007 about an unrequited love named zebulon. somehow he popped up on a walk home and these are the thoughts put to music. coming off the loss of his mother kate mcgarrigle, to say his upcoming album is 'personal' is an understatement.

want more? you can hear the rest of the interview here (plus hear the moving song 'martha')

still have to obsess over rufus (like we did)? check out another version of this song...]

owen pallett - e is for estranged (live @ qtv)
[what i've always loved about owen (aka ex-final fantasy) is that he is able to create a lovely textured tune with just a voice, a loop machine, a keyboard and a violin. the final result can sometimes be orchestral, sometimes goosebumpingly cool and most of the time it's just wondrous.]
