"Men reading fashion magazines…"

by Brian McKim & Traci Skene on April 3rd, 2005

We’ve been plodding through the last 72 hours or so as if walking through molasses, bummed by the death of Mitch Hedberg. At the risk of sounding melodramatic, we found it oddly comforting to throw “Want One” by Rufus Wainwright on the CD player. We say “oddly,” because it’s somewhat melancholy, so you wouldn think that’d be the last thing you wanna listen to. But at least it’s got a coupla upbeat tracks sprinkled throughout (tracks that the female half of the staff says “keep you from going into a fetal position.”) It’s our official mourning CD.

As an aside: The male half of the staff has a tenuous connection to Wainwright himself– “We share a relative… his half-sister is my first cousin… I think… it’s all somewhat confusing to me… and we’ve never met… so we actually paid for the CD.”)
