I’ve always proudly claimed that if I was every going to go gay, it’d be for Patrick Wolf and no one else. But even I’m a bit thrown by his latest video.
It’s a BDSM party-town, that makes me feel like the early 90s never died. I can’t help but feel like it’s exactly what Madonna wanted the Vogue video to be.
It’s described on his myspace as:
Show[ing] an enraptured, semi naked Patrick writhing in a full S&M, bondage outfit. The controversial scenes are intercut with those of Patrick as the leather clad ‘Vulture’ and as an unmasked icon. Inspired by experiences Patrick gained and suffered on the American leg of the 2007 ‘Magic Position’ tour, the video perfectly depicts these experiences, which Patrick describes as ‘getting involved in some dodgy satanic sex games and exploring the many dark sides of Los Angeles.
All I want to know is what the hell did he get upto in LA, and why was Trent Reznor involved?
What do you think?

Rishi added these pithy words on Mar 19 09 at 9:50 pmSeriously, what is it with every indie straight white guy who likes Patrick Wolf automatically wants to sleep with him? Patrick Wolf is, like, apparently our greatest argument to turn gay.
That being said, the video is somewhat of an epileptic BDSM writhefest, but possibly more shocking that is that the song is surprisingly bad, which is weird given that all of his previous singles were all atleast passable (goddamn you The Magic Position), if not outright great.
