Patrick Wolf: The _Heeb_ Intern Review

by editorial intern Laura E. Marcus

The first thing I thought when I saw Patrick Wolf grace the stage at Brooklyn’s Studio B was, “Holy shit, this guy is the Morrissey of my generation!” Now don’t get me wrong, I love The Smiths and Morrissey is a big reason why, but I understand that while everyone was first bobbing their heads in that detached, wholly ironic sort of way to “How Soon Is Now?” I was nothing but a 2 year old entranced by Fraggle Rock. So when I saw Wolf belting out the title track for his newest record “The Magic Position” I realized that I could finally have the sexually ambiguous, tongue-in-cheek British idol I had always dreamed of. Wolf plays an impressive smorgasbord of instruments—from classics like the violin and piano, to the clavichord and the theremin—and it seems like there is nothing that he can’t do. He played the entire show in his boxers, even with the palpable sense that there were hungry eyes all over the expansive club gobbling up every fantasy imaginable. When he belted out “Who puts me in the magic position, darling now?” I know that everyone was thinking, “I wish it were me.”

What do you think?

    Iconic, don’t introduce rational thought into this. LOL

    But since you did let’s continue and try to break hwy505 out of his institutional indoctrination into the police-state mentality. Here’s some more good questions:
