Rufus Wainwright - Late Night, Maudlin Street
Nick Cave - Dear God Please Help Me
Pet Shop Boys - Alsatian Cousin
Tom Waits - I've Changed My Plea To Guilty

I'm not really aware of R Wainwright's material but the other three suggestions verge on genius choices, esp. Waits "Guilty." I can already hear it in my head. Thumbs up!
