Can i just say that last night, while i WASNT going to the show, i went to a friends house to watch the hockey game.
When i got in my girfriends car, she had it on the MIX 104.1 station (this irks me to no end, cause i make her countless CDs of good music) and what do i hear "Take Your Mama Out" by the Scissor Sisters.
strange i thought.
But then, 3 1/2 hours later, i get in her car to go home, and change the CD and MIX 104.1 comes back on , to what song? "Take Your Mama Out" by the Scissor Sisters!!
freaky. were they doing that cause of the show in DC? or are they already doomed to Mix station radio??!!!??

Rumor has it that you tried the "buy friends with CDs" route but got rebuffed.

GGW burns CDs for people? Dude, where's the love for Bags….I've never gotten anything. Ah well, I've had some good will from many folks here, so I shan't complain.
GGW is a conservative, which means I don't understand him, but asshole? I don't see it…

I did see they had a Z104 truck in the front of the club, so maybe they did a SS marathon during/after the show…

I thought the show was quite good, glad I went. The energy and fun can't be denied….I'd say the influences were nearly all 70s, and very basic disco/funk (lots of Stevie Wonder, though I don't know how he's described). The band, at least the lead male singer, was flaming, but not sure all their influences are. Elton John, though…. ;)
Do I want to listen to this album in my car over and over? Not so sure. Hopefully a friend will have it and I'll give it a couple listens before I decide whether to buy it…at this point, I'm leaning towards no CD purchase, though I'd see them again if they came through town next year.

Oh, scratch that. He wasn't the one who pm'd me to comment on what a "fat,nasty bitch" you are. That was one of the other board assholes. So I guess he's not the biggest board asshole.

I live in blissful ignorance, which is fine. I assume anyone who hates won't talk to me out "in the world," so what the hell. Though I will say that PM sounds like it came from someone in your family. You know, Rhett, I didn't call you an asshole, I said I didn't think GGW was one. That's not very incendiary. You really enjoy going off for the sake of it…

Wow so much going on with this ONE topic!! Um, I would say it was a great show, but not too different from the first time I saw them at the 930 Club, earlier this year.
As for Z104 (Mix 104?)…I have heard Scissor Sisters played on mostly this genre of radio since I've also heard them on 92.5 FM and Mix 106.5 This, of course when I actually listen to the radio, which isn't much apart from online ( WOXY and Xfm.co.uk)
Speaking of Z104…if you look at their website their bands are fairly MORish (if I can use that term), but I wonder why they don't have Keane or Morrissey on there? Plus, HFS is hosting the Keane gig at 930…do they even play Keane?!?
Finally, back to Scissor Sisters. I guess you could say they have a 70's/80's thing going on. I can hear Elton John/Bowie/BeeGees most strongly.
Are they a B-52's or Deee-Lite for this generation? Maybe. Hopefully their career lasts like the former and not the later. :D

B-52s, I'd say no.
Deee-lite, I'd say absolutely.
By the way, Bob Mould was beside me on line going in to the show. He got double-carded at the door! [No, I didn't speak to him; I've decided he deserves his space and already knows he's a musical genius and god….]

Sonick, you're pretty randy yourself today [no pun intended]. I don't think Indiekid has a problem with Deee-lite, but was pointing out that they didn't last all that long…. Ditto for me; I think they're very mucy like Deee-lite, but I wasnt' *wishing* them a short career…. Have all that same dressing up, made up names and being over the top/funky/way too cool for school in a cartoonish sort of way.

Thanks Bags…yeah, no probs with Deee-Lite here!
I think they had a patchy middle phase, but I as a whole they put out some great stuff!
Also, Bob Mould was there!?! Wow…I wish I would have spotted him. Actually there was a bald white guy near me, but I would guess he was too young to be Mr. Mould. :o
