[edit] Todo
- Patrick is born in County Cork, Ireland (according to allmusic) but grew up in South london (according to tomlab.com). When did he move from Ireland?
- What happend between the release of "Lycanthropy" and "Wind In the Wires"
- His relationship with the artist Bishi and their subsequent break-up and argument over the (now cancelled) album Patrick was producing. [1] Mernard 00:28, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
Patrick being born in County Cork is infact a myth. He has a lot of family over there, but was born by the Thames, at St Thomas' Hospital.
- What source do you have for this? David Björklund 05:21, 12 August 2005 (UTC)
- His birth certificate... !
[edit] Lycantrophy Album Article
Ummm, There was no article for the album Lycanthropy, so i made one, but i'm not so good with the code so i didn't replace all the links in this article (the old ones took you to an article about mythology) but i did get the one with the pic of the album art, anyway... the article about the Album is under "Lycanthropy (Album)" Echud123456 17:14, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Army of Me
I have just realised that there is one track of his in the Björk album Army of Me: Remixes and Covers. In this article it is linked to P. Wolf, but I am not really sure if that is him. So, if someone knows if he made the cover, could add it to this article or, if not, could cancel the link.--Nauki 17:46, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
It is Patrick Wolf that has made that remix. But I'm not really that good at writing, so could someone else please do it? Arcid 16:42, 8 April 2007 (UTC) Arcid
[edit] calling it quits
hate to be the bearer of bad news but according to this forum post (which has been confirmed authentic) patrick has had enough of the bullcrap. sad but we must all move on :( Catbeef 03:39, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
- gaha, just noticed it :p Catbeef 03:40, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
The wolfboy has confirmed that his is indeed still making music and will continue to do so. Also he has stated in a recent interview (post forum comments) that he has 2 albums in the pipeline:
"Despite his recent post on a fan message board...it turns out Wolf just plans to take a little break from the cycle of touring and promoting records.
Even Wolf's break looks to be busy, though. He already has two albums' worth of material written for his follow-up to The Magic Position..."
"Pitchfork: And it's going to be a double album?
PW: Well, there are two albums. So maybe it's going to be two separate albums, two albums at the same time, like a double release. Both are written, lyrically. One of them is going to be orchestral: extremely beautiful and celebrating neuroses and mental breakdowns. [The other will be] hard and techno and almost like death metal..."

[edit] LGBT?
I realise there's a little bit about his sense of 'sexual ambiguity' at the bottom of the article but this doesn't equate to him saying he's gay or bisexual - he's just being coy, as always. I mean, plenty of people play with gender or camp/kitsch/glitz. Is he really LGBT let alone an 'LGBT musician'? Bobplays 00:50, 11 April 2007 (UTC) He's openly bi - http://www.ssonet.com.au/display.asp?ArticleID=6728 Pinchofhope 12:54, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Piano/organ/harpsichord etc
The "Wolf plays many instruments" part is overkill. The clavinet, harpsichord, piano, organ, and clavichord are all keyboard instruments played in much the same way. It's like saying Chris Martin from Coldplay can play the acoustic steel string guitar, the acoustic nylon string guitar, the electric Strat guitar, the electric Les Paul, the 3/4 guitar etc etc etc. If you can play one, you can play them all, what is the point of listing them all?! -- Mikenosilly 12:19, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
I'd agree. Its fair enough to mention them somewhere but really, being a pianist does not make you a mult instrumentalist.
[edit] St Thomas's Hospital
Why is this detail in the first line of the article? It's fairly unremarkable, and certainly not unique, definitive or particularly significant - shouldn't it be move to later? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.106.168.209 (talk) 20:19, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks for pointing that out. I have moved it to later in the article, although I wonder if it significant enough even to be mentioned at all. --Paul Erik (talk)(contribs) 21:03, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] "Two years later, he left home, choosing to live wild and free around London. "
That phrase does smack rather of romantic hpyerbole. I'd say ripe for a change. --Vincentvincent (talk) 14:53, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
