His dark eyebrows reminded me of Siouxsie Sioux, vaguely. (And the song reminds me of a later-era Siouxsie, and oh geez, I adore her thus...) I never really noticed the eyebrows TOO much before the blonde came about, but i think it was in the 4th video diary, and i was just like 'WOAH' because they were so animated. haha, i think they are quite cute though, but maybe its the Patrickness of them that blinds me from seeing anything negative as such. I think you may have misread my post. I love Siouxsie so being reminded of her is a very very good thing. |

it was pretty good, there were some parts i found unnecessary but overall i liked it
i'm sure a lot of people are like BUM YAY but honestly i personally could have lived without it.
i really dug the parts with the long hair, though

I think it's actually fantastically shot, i love the lighting, i love the way he looks, etc etc etc. My boyfriend is one of those who is not happy with his weight gain but I can't help but be rather pleased at the sight of his bum myself... I don't know what it is. I think it's really great myself...it really brings the song to life as well. I liked it from first listen mostly but this really puts it into full gear doesn't it |

yeah, nice video, i think it fits the song well. i love the b&w, high quality video. but it seems a bit.... home movie-ish, which might just be because the camera never moves, or the fact that his BDSM costume was sort of juvenile, almost (or maybe i've just known very kinky people, and this simply pales in comparison to their git up). i guess i feel like this isn't as natural/true as his other personas/videos. i understand costumes and characters, but this one isn't as believable as wolf-lycanthrope, or dark-witw, or glittery-magic position, its trying to be controversial when patrick is perfectly, gloriously shocking as he is. i'm probably reading too much into all this. i certainly love the direction his music is taking, my favorite all time pw song is bloodbeat (or tristan..?) and this is sort of in the same vein, i can't wait for an album full of this deliciousness. however, when you compare the tristan video to this, tristan seems so much more unique and emotional than this one. vulture the song is great, but with a bit less emphasis on the voice, and a bit more powerful chorus, it could be fabulous. same with the video: it is great, but with a camera movement and more believable bondage, it could be stupendous.
but ultimately, i like it. except for the lack of camera movement.

bits of it reminded me of tristan, i think my favourite parts are where hes singing with the quiff and when he does the vulture gaze.

It's had like 10,000 views, so I think that's really good for the first night they showed it - It's still on there though, I guess it's effort removing it, maybe they will just 'hide' it or something.
I still like it, I haven't read too many negative comments, just some guy saying he's not being genuine? I think it's just because of the style of this song is slightly different to normal, very electronic, even though it's something he has always used. And I guess the song is just, very complete and immaculate, and maybe that's not what people were expecting when going back to working independently? Who knows.
It is frustrating that people perceive him as being pretentious but I guess that's a small few, and it doesn't matter, because the video looks great and obviously a lot of work went into it.

i dont know.
thats all i can say about it.
if patrick directed it - it just seems a bit weird having just studio shots of him. and then in another costume. and then in another. i know the budget is small, but i just think it has a sense of the self.
But then again, Jarman says that all the best artists are have an obsession with the self. And by god, patrick is an artist. Vulture itself is amazing....

For me, ridiculous. Yes. We all know you've found love Pat, but no need to ram your bedroom antics down everyone's throat - whilst turning into some kind of 'walmart Liberace'.
I really hope it's just a fad.

(sorry if I sounded like a jerk lol) |

(sorry if I sounded like a jerk lol) I know. Don't take this so literallly eh? Everything he does at the moment involves overt sexuality and bombastic mincing. It's patently a by product of his renewed passions. See? |

do you ever get bored of being so cynical. because i do. get bored of you, i mean. Conversely. I get bored of the 'fanboi' pov. Always nice to offer an opposing view, is it not? And one would imagine that - like most artists - Mr P Wolf would expect a certain level of polarised opinion re his latest venture. Therefore, and on that basis, I'm offering a breath of fresh air to this thread. Do you see? |

i do prefer a different side to the flaily megafan stuff, too. i am not one to believe the man is completely infallible and zomg so perfect lolol wow! it's just that you always slip into the role of devil's advocate whenever patrick does something but that's fair enough, of course. i was mostly joking with my post there. this video appears to have split the fanbase right down the middle. i was reading twitter posts and scrolling down the search page, it was like: 'patrick wolf is so hot omg!' 'omg patrick wolf is disgusting ew!' 'wow i love pwolf's new video!' 'patrick's video is so tacky, wtf!' so yeah. this whole thing is really interesting, i love observing the fan community. |
