Not their cover of "Big Six" by Judge Dread, then.
"Little Miss Muffet, sat on her tuffet, her knickers all tattered and torn/It wasn't a spider who sat down beside her/It was Little Boy Blue with the horn," uh huh uh huh, etc.

did this band scrub the nu-metal guitar approach? Because when I saw them like 2 years ago that was one of the main things about their sound that annoyed me.
Mind you, if they did, some of folks here would still be wittering on about how they're just a Big Camp Gay Disco Band!!!!!!

Haha, in that case I think I have the demo version and not the official one! I'll double check on that.

I thought the b-side version of Backwoods was the same as the one on the demo?

I agree with Tim's analysis of the Scissor Sisters as being very chameleonic, it seems that a lot of people are acsribing sets of values to them which are very much applicable to some of their songs, but not to most of their songs.

They're completely different in every way, except for a few shared lyrics (the "in the sweat set met gettin' freaky with the hot tub jets..." section). The B-side version is called "Backwoods Part II". The demo version is infinitely better.

It's a bloody shame some of those old demos are gathering dust when something as dull as "Borrowed Time" gets released as a B-side. (Or is it just me who doesn't like that one?)

Don Bluth did a freaking video of theirs!
Probably my favorite song of theirs, too.

Night Work is actually kind of an amazing album.

Yep. Some discussion here...scissor sisters are back! back!! back!!!

I like most everything on the album except "Comfortably Numb."
A. I don't like Floyd's original all that much.B. I hate Bee Gees impersonations.
― Johnny Fever (johnny fever), Thursday, November 6, 2003 9:37 PM (10 years ago)
I was being an a-hole that day. Floyd's original is a great song and I rather like Bee Gees impersonations. Pretty sure these were my feelings at the time, too, so my early days on ILM were full of fake contrarianism.

s & d :: desert sessions is a thread I keep reviving and receiving very little interest, so I'm reaching out to its members' home threads.

Do we like the Scissor Sisters? A little, but certainly loving the new Jake Shears album especially the house stylings of ‘Doses’.
― Dan Worsley, Sunday, 4 June 2023 14:31 (ten months ago) link
Yeah, I was really impressed with this. I like the Italo disco influences on the second half. It goes quite dark in places.

And suddenly out of nowhere, Jake guesting on TR/ST's just-released cover of "Being Boring."
