Monday Music is back!

Because what other way to procrastinate and avoid work then to blog?

After I saw them at the Virgin Music Festival I've taken a liking to the Scissor Sisters.










They're hugely popular in Europe but they're best known in the States for the song:
  • Take Your Mama Out
but I'm also grooving to:
  • Filthy/Gorgeous
  • Comfortably Numb (remake of course)
  • Better Luck
According to Wiki:
"All the singles came from the eponymous debut album Scissor Sisters, which reached #1 on the UK albums chart and became the best selling album of 2004, beating Keane's Hopes And Fears by just 582 copies. As of 2006, it is the 10th biggest-selling album of the 21st century, and the 51st biggest-selling of all time in the UK.[4] Several media outlets have noted that Scissor Sisters 'stick out like a sore thumb' on the list of artists who have sold over 2 million copies of an album in the UK in the 21st century — the others being James Blunt, Robbie Williams, Keane, Dido, Coldplay and Norah Jones — all artists considered 'mainstream' or 'middle of the road', as opposed to the Scissor Sisters' brash and controversial image.They have a new album out Ta-Dah which I'm gonna check out"

Anwhat'sts with their name?
Wiki: "The group is named after a sex position between two women - tribadism. The initial full name was Dead Lesbian and the Fibrillating Scissor Sisters."

How can you not like a band with a namoriginin like that?
