Okay, the new Rufus Wainwright CD "Want Two"? It took me a few rounds of listening to the whole thing for it to hit me, but my god, this is fabulous. The first track - "Agnus Dei," which is actually Rufus's take on the traditional Agnus Dei chant - is beautiful, so much so that I just got teary. (Especially given the meaning of the prayer and such.)
Not that it's especially surprising that I'm in love with a new Rufus CD, but I love that moment when you realize just how much you really enjoy something.
In terms of other music that I'm currently obsessed with, earlier this week I couldn't stop listening to The Killers. They have some fabulous lyrics and for an alternative band, the songs from their first album are really diverse.
I need to stop obsessively checking Rufus's website to see if he's posted any tour dates for NYC yet. *Taps foot impatiently*
