Question:
Does really liking the new Scissor Sisters album mean I have a drug and sex problem? Or does it just mean that I wish I did?
It does make me want to acquire more leather.
And, uhm, abs.
I am absolutely 1000% right there with you.

Scissor Sisters ft. Josh Homme - ‘Magic Hour’ Infomercial (by scissorsisterstv)
Real talk, this is not the best Scissor Sisters album, but this is maybe the best piece of video ever created.

Scissor Sisters vs. Krystal Pepsy (a.k.a. Azealia Banks) - “Shady Love”
So, uh, this happened! I don’t honestly know what to think of it — I don’t think I actually needed to have Jake rap an entire song — but the simple fact of its existence (and the fact that it portends a 2012 Scissor Sisters album) is enough to get me excited. Also, I am really jealous of the dance moves of the kid at the end of the video.

Lady Gaga - “The Edge Of Glory”
One of the best-ever Gaga songs gets one of the worst-ever Gaga videos.
Also, turns out that Scissor Sisters / Fraggle Rock thing might be bullshit.
The world is so very cruel sometimes.

The video for the Scissor Sisters’ “Invisible Light” is not the video I would have made for it; there’s a late 60s/early 70s British art film vibe to it (The Shining, The Wicker Man) that seems slightly disassociated from the song itself. But then I realized that they’ve made an original version of the kind of cut-up footage that would be projected onto the wall at your more fun clubs, and I understood. It’s not supposed to go with the song, it’s supposed to enhance the feeling of being in a debauched gay club, which is ultimately what “Invisible Light” is about.
Holy shit, it’s the first great Scissor Sisters video in… I don’t even know how long. Since the original version of “Laura”? Am I forgetting something? Anyway, Mike is on-point as usual, this is like everything they’ve ever projected before a show at Irving Plaza, but so much better.
Also be advised if you’re watching it at work, there are boobies in it.

Elvira’s Scissor Sisters Halloween Special (via scissorsisterstv)
Yes, yes to all of this. Includes a brief glimpse of — YES YES YES — the “Invisible Light” video, which features Sir Ian McKellen and looks basically EXACTLY the way it should, i.e., like low-budget early-80s East Village drag video art.

“Any Which Way”If this is a Scissor Sisters work-out video, it is difficult to argue against the results. Six-packs all around!
FINALLY, a watchable Scissor Sisters video! It had been a minute. Even if it’s not one of my favorite songs on the album, it’s still a good’un.
But yes, give me Jake Shears’ body. TAKE THAT HOWEVER YOU WANT IT TO MEAN.

Music - Dirty Fun - Band’s Midnight Evolution - NYTimes.com
Times feature on the Scissor Sisters and their new album Night Work. Having lived with it for several weeks now, I think this is maybe my favorite album of the year so far, grappling only with Robyn for the top spot. It doesn’t have the immediate candy-coated feel of the previous two, but it really expands and warms up the more you listen to it. I really, really love this band.

Popjustice - Scissor Sisters - 'Fire With Fire'
30-second clip of the new Scissor Sisters single. Between this and “Invisible Light,” Night Work is now my most-anticipated record of 2010, creaming the underwhelming-sounding M.I.A. album. The only thing that might beat it is if Arcade Fire drop something totally ridiculous. And even then, I’ll bet I can’t slutty-dance to an Arcade Fire album.

Oh my God it’s Awesome New Shit Day.
So much great music appeared today! There’s “Invisible Light,” the teaser track from the new Scissor Sisters album Night Work (out June 28, amazing cover). Robyn put “Fembot,” “None Of Dem,” and “Dancehall Queen” up for sale on Amazon MP3. And the LCD Soundsystem album leaked, if you’re the kind of person who looks for those sorts of things.
Plus there are new MacBook Pros, not that I can afford one, though I love looking at them on websites and fantasizing.
Good work, Tuesday. Pat yourself on the back. (Oh, and you should all buy those Robyn songs even if you downloaded the leaks, because the US really needs to vote with its dollars for Robyn. Just sayin’.)
