Aletheia ~ Veracious Reality

So after two Merlin fanfics (one modern-day band AU and one crackfic) refer to Patrick Wolf's "Tristan", I decided to look him up on YouTube.
(Nothing will induce me to brave MySpace, except for the highly implausible scenario in which Jason Isaacs open a MySpace account.)

And I found "The Magic Position," which is super-catchy and colors-of-the-rainbow and boy-in-shorts-and-rumpled-dyed-hair.
Here's an acapella group's awesome rendition of the song <3
(There are nowhere enough acapella in the world.)

Love this quote:

When I think of the rising star Patrick Wolf, I think glam rock, glitter, sparkles, bright colors, flamboyance, fairies, magic, the horrified looks on the yuppies' faces in the audience when I saw him open for Amy Winehouse.

And here's the Merlin crackfic, which is ten times funnier when you know who Patrick Wolf is =P
It MAKES NO SENSE if you haven't watched 1X09 (Excalibur)

Welcome to Campalot: Arthur and the Gay-Off (Starring Patrick Wolf as Tristan) by arc_ady
PG-13, Merlin/Arthur
Summary: Arthur’s coronation as crown prince doesn’t go to plan, as the incredibly sexy Tristan makes an appearance. Massive gayness ensues.

I would link to the band AU (which is pretty nifty too) when I come across the link again. Enjoy!
