HERE COMES RUFUS: More or less confirming the position of iTunes as the only real game in town right now, they're following up their Pixies exclusive with a Rufus Wainwright exclusive downloady thing - Waiting for Want ep will include Gay Messiah, The Love Affair, The Art Teacher and Waiting for a Dream; CD artwork will be available to make it almost like the real thing as well.



He's also going to be touring about the UK, like some sort of strolling minstrel:

27th October - Edinburgh Usher Hall
29th London - Barbican Centre
30th Brighton - The Dome
31st Sheffield - Octagon
2nd November - Liverpool Philharmonic
4th Warwick - Arts Centre
5th Cambridge - Corn Exchange
7th Southampton - Guild Hall.

Support comes from his sister, Martha Wainwright. Yes, the one in "Five Years Old."
