Most straight girls I know think Rufus Wainwright is super fucking hot. They proclaim this lust knowing full and well that Wainwrightwho recently toured the nation singing Judy Garland covers in monogrammed overallsmay be the gayest troubadour ever to walk the earth. The son-of-Loudons aphrodisiacal allure extends to men as welland not just to the mos. As one local (and straight) musician whos spent an evening in Rufus company once told me: Rufus is enough to make you think twice. Must be the voice: While nasal in conversation, in concert it manifests itself in about the perfect melange of pop and operatic grandeur, casting a spell over all who witness it. Hes hypnotic. And hypnotists can make you do whatever they want. Paramount Theatre, 911 Pine St., 467-5510, www.theparamount.com. $38-$48. 8 p.m. MIKE SEELY
