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:
"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?

I like the "Take Your Mama Out" song, but then I downloaded a bunch of their other songs and found them to be too techno-y or something (I'm not sure exactly what but they were totally different from Take Your Mama Out, in the same way that Sugar Ray's "I just want to fly" had nothing to do with the rest of their album, or the White Stripes "Hotel Yorba"). But I just heard the new single off the new album on the radio and it definitely goes back to that "Take your mama out" sound, so hopefully I'll like this album better.
