Invisible Light

The following is NOT SAFE FOR WORK. But brilliant.

Scissor Sisters have gone in a gloriously new, differently dirty direction for their stomper, Invisible Light.

Enjoy in privacy, if you dare:



Yes, I know it's been a while. We'll see what else I can come up with, hopefully sooner rather than later.

I run, I run, I run with the unconsoled.

While the new Scissor Sisters may have the iPod real estate in my car right now, it may serve to remind you about my new-band crush that I've been developing this year.

Still teasing their new, as yet unreleased, album Red Brick Heart, Manchester's Performance have completely enraptured me with their first two singles Reptile and The Living.

Well, they're three for three now, because their new clip, The Unconsoled, is just as brilliant.



Bring on the album. It's about time for it.

Kylie, Jake and Ana Do Glastonbury

Just in case I haven't pimped my two most anticipated albums this summer, both Scissor Sisters and Kylie Minogue came together Any Which Way they could to entertain Glastonbury's festival goers.

Scissor Sister's new album Night Work is now out. Kylie Minogue's Aphrodite drops in a week. What I've heard of both is well worth the little bit of hype I've lavished on them on this random corner here.

Is it just me, or is everyone hiding out between the lights?

Without much more fanfare the full Scissor Sisters video for Fire With Fire:

We'll fight fire with fire!

I already posted the now-disappeared tease, and I'm sure I'll post a video whenever they get around to it. So just to get to the point: Enjoy a good clear listen of Scissor Sisters' new track Fire With Fire.

It's clearly an anthem. It's kinda Elton John-ish, with a bit more oomph. It holds up well to repeat visits.

Basically, I really dig it.

Might as well give it a whirl. You'll be (Updated 5/26/10) seeing more of it on here anyways.

Scissor Sisters say Let's Disco!

More mild temptation from Scissor Sisters.



Neuen hit Fire with Fire. I love it!

June can't come soon enough!

Invisible Light

After some serious foreplay, those Scissor Sisters are finally putting out again.

But it's just a tease.

Typical Jake Shears and company.



What a tease, though!

If Invisible Light is just the appetizer, I really can't wait for their Night Work come June!

No Distance Left to Run

When you think of band you wish you could have seen live, we all have our short list of missed opportunities. Usually it's a case of bad timing, youth or just life getting in the way, plain and simple.

My top one should come as no surprise. If the Talking Heads ever got back together for a farewell whirl, you better bet I'd be there. And no, David Byrne's world-beats won't cut it alone.

Then there are others like Scissor Sisters that I missed seeing here in Denver because I had my priorities straight and was being a supportive boyfriend that night. But they're still jamming along, with a third album on the precipice, so there may yet be opportunities.

Then there's Blur. They hit me big while I was still on my global hopscotch period so I had the albums, but never a chance to hit one of their concerts. Then they all started fighting, and well, we know what happens then.

They did however get back together for some shows last summer, and like those old James Bond posters tell us, never say never again.

Who knows, I may yet get that chance to see Damon Albarn and company do their live thing versus the animated Gorillaz (amongst other things) he does on the side.

In the meantime they're going to give us a taste of the path to reunion, and it just may have to do, because really, with musicians, you just never know what to expect:

Queef Latina's Secret Show

Scissor Sisters. New songs. Some bloody lucky fools in NYC (including a former host of The Mole) who got to hear them last night.

Shake well: Serving to the rest of us sometime in 2009.

Now THAT'S something to look foward to!
