I'm sorry I haven't posted dahlinks - been a stressful week (how is it that a four day week feels more stressful than a whole week?) and course work is sucking all my free time.
Anyway, on to the business of the day:
Track Of The Week:
Tits On the Radio, Scissor Sisters (from the album Scissor Sisters)
Cause you can't see tits on the radio
I'll give you five fingers for a one man show
Fasten those pants for the lap dance
Take a shot now this may be your last chance
OK, these guys are going to be huge, take it from me. They have all the right ingredients for pissing off Bush-era Middle of Road-Lets Not Upset Anybody-plastic-rock. Although their lyrics have a certain amount of shock value, there's a retro 70's-80's camp attitude that owes more to Elton John than the Tubes, but don't let that put you off. Standout tracks on the album include the slow-prom-dance disco ball ballad Mary, Lovers In The Backseat which could come straight off a Wang Chung album and a totally surreal version of Pink Floyd's Comfortably Numb (imagine the song sung in Bee Gees falsetto to an Eye of the Tiger back beat and funky disco guitar and keyboards. I shit you not! It took until the chorus for the fact to register that the title was was not just coincidental). Now Scissor Sisters are neither revolutionary or evolutionary but they kick ass and that's the key for me. If fact, I would say go buy the album (they have it on Itunes with a bonus track). Anyway, Tits has that special quality, that 3:00am can't sleep going through your head quality.
