Those who sing in wings
DOWNLOAD: Mr. Mister - Broken Wings (MP3)
I know some of you are sick of hearing about Sufjan, and from some of the comments left on this site, apparently some of you don't even approve of the wings. I loved them, but Sufjan is not the first one to show up on stage as an angel, bird or insect. I compiled some photos....
LIBERACE
KANYE WEST
angels are the most popular costume.
ERASURE
LOVE ARCADE
Mila Kunis, Erika Christensen & Wilmer Valderrama
UNDER BYEN
(yes, Under Byen, the band that just played Mercury Lounge)
DEPECHE MODE
And of course....
SUFJAN STEVENS
And here's a video by Smashing Pumpkins...
Who else performed in wings?

Always. The maxi pad. I hear that's got wings.

So its lame AND unoriginal, gotchya. You're not selling me on the wings thing BV.

I believe Paul McCartney, Linda McCartney, and Denny Laine all performed in "Wings".

Yes it is true my children. God wants everyone to wear wings.......eventually.
Even you BrooklynVegan should get yours in about 53.53 years....OOOPPS! i let that one slip! just kidding (angel humour)!
And no, having wings won't make you gay. Liberace, Erasure, and that other guy were born that way.
Oh, and our father wanted me to remind you to listen to your Wolfmother, something saving your souls from indie rock or something....

Surprisingly, The Bee Girl did not have wings. Also did not sing either.

When and why did Mila Kunis, Erika Christensen & Wilmer Valderrama perform at a Scientology benefit? (I know Danny Masterson of "That '70s Show" is, or at least was, a Scientologist.)

Martin Gore's wings are the best

Martin Gore had cute wings, but his chicken hat was waaaaaay stoopid.

Every time you masturbate, an angel gets its wings. Or something like that.

I love Depeche Mode with every bone in my body, but man, Martin Gore's costume on the last tour was fucking whack. He was dressed like some sort of S&M Roman invader. I wish they would fire him and bring back Alan Wilder.

There used to be a band called Bird3 and its lead singer always performed in wings. I don't think they're still around. A pity.

Kanye is annoying
