Rufus Wainwright and The Rufus Songbook: At The Hub Sunday, June 10
The Rufus Songbook (8:00 PM)
A vibrant assortment of emerging and established musicians, including Krystle Warren, Teddy Thompson, Sarah Slean, Royal Wood and Alejandra Ribera, interpret the words and music of Rufus Wainwright.
Rufus Wainwright (9:00 PM)
Rufus takes centre stage, together with an eight-piece band, for the Canadian premiere of all 12 tracks from his hotly-anticipated new release, Out of the Game. Producer Mark Ronson considers Out of the Game an even greater achievement than the landmark Back to Black he crafted for Amy Winehouse. It is also, says Rufus, his most popcentric work to date.
Sounds like fun to me!

Evil boy 4 life.
The dude in the middle is way too Extreme, but man, I can’t believe they pulled off a cover with one guitar and 5 people playing it. Top notch!

Running through the Mo Wax catalogue.
My aim is to put up the full Mo’ Wax back catalog played in random order, 24/7. I still need to rip a few vinyls, and I’m also still missing some in my collection, so it may take some time… There are currently 1014 tracks ready to play.
Cheers to Scott for the heads up.
