Live Photos: Patrick Wolf at Webster Hall [NYC, 10.03.07]

I entered Webster Hall to find Patrick Wolf already perched on stage with a ukelele, sporting a difficult-to-describe clubby convertible blue top, gold medallion necklaces, faded cutoff shorts, and body glitter. Oh, the body glitter.

Wolfie has one of the top amazing voices of 2007, but his show was sadly lacking energy at regular intervals. He seemed to prefer playing slow lounge-y songs that well predate his album, The Magic Position. This was a disappointment to fans who came riding on the new album high...though there was not a smidgen of disappointment for the legions of gay boys who came to surface-worship the beautifully-slender towhead under the stage lights at Webster Hall.

That said, he nailed "Bluebells" live and had me dancing a little during "The Magic Position."
