Scissor Sisters - Comfortably Numb

Yes, the old Pink Floyd classic, covered by SS.... this record sounds like the Bee Gees singing over a fantastic electro-disco backing... love it! Check it out if you can... it's just been released as a 12" on the A Touch of Class label.

Oh, a bit same style like their remix of Superstar by The Ones then? Gotta check it!

I was lucky enough to see them live on Saturday, they were great. Pete Burns (DOA) also made an appearance and sang with them..fantastic show.
I forgot to add..their first track was a version of Magnifique!

The S Sisters are from NYC like The Ones, if I remember correctly. What's happening there...? Give a short rewiew and reveal more songs of this kind, or a link where to browse more, please :P

I saw a photo of Pete Burns singing with SS at, I think 'The Cock' in Boyz magazine. I think the 'bear' bloke in the band looks very cute BTW!

Agree - he's hot :)

I was more like curious about the related artist point of view... Well, I guess we'll have some clones soon enough at least :o

Ah, that would be Baby Daddy you're talking about. And not that I'm stalking him or anything but he hangs out at Marvellous in Brixton on a Sunday! :) Can't wait to hear the remixes of 'Filthy,Gorgeous'.

Yes, I heard it on the radio. No, I didn't like it at all. Yes, I also thougth of the Bee Gees. And yes, I was a Pink Floyd fan... I was a teenager when "The Wall" came out, and that record was something of a great experience to people my age at the time.

It's interesting how die-hard Pink Floyd fans can't see the funny side! :lol: Most Pink Floyd fans I've noticed hate this one! I think it's clever and very very funny! :D

**SandraDee** · March 16th, 2004, 03:59 PM

Of course, it's not that original an idea to do a dance version of Pink Floyd material; remember Rosebud?

**born2disco** · March 16th, 2004, 04:01 PM

No.

The idea may not be original (that's not what I meant), but it's a very interesting interpretation, you gotta admit! :D

**SandraDee** · March 16th, 2004, 04:19 PM

Oh yes, they are definitely one of the most interesting bands to emerge in a long time; so much so that they've given me hope that the pop music scene could be fun once again (I'm ever the optimist :-? )

**born2disco** · March 16th, 2004, 04:20 PM

Yep.... whatever happened to fun pop music??

**SandraDee** · March 16th, 2004, 04:27 PM

The accountants & profit-obsessed modern media types took over; don't get me into a rant on this topic 'cos I could go on all nite & I need my beauty sleep (trust me I need it now I'm about to have my 39th birthday & I'm about to start '40 therapy'! :cry: )

**born2disco** · March 16th, 2004, 04:28 PM

You left 40-therapy a bit late! :lol:

**Sami M** · March 17th, 2004, 04:09 AM

Well I hope the fun returns aswell. And I acttually believe it will, the music must go on in circles like other cultural phenomenons. Funny childish like tunes have been out, but the fun should enter the production etc!

**born2disco** · March 31st, 2004, 08:58 PM

Scissor Sisters album is fantastic... I've haven't been this much a fan of a band since I was a teenager! They look like a pop group should and write catchy pop tunes... one sounds like a Toto pisstake, another sounds like Bowie, another like Elton, songs about prostitution and trannies ('Filthy & Gorgeous')..... it just doesn't get much better than this at the moment!!

gush, gush :D :D
