Scissor Sisters - I Don't Feel Like Dancing

After first hearing this song I wasn't impressed, I have to admit. Then I kept humming the melody all day and I knew then that it had some potential. So I played it again and, alas, I'm hooked. I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that I'm not sure which is sexier; Jake Shears' himself or his voice. I figure both are pretty even.



This is a pretty feel good song with lots of Jakey falsetto. Loving it. Throw in some synth and sparkle and you've got an addictive new song. I love love how Scissor Sisters push the tacky/corny button with their music. The laser sounds and other cheap effects make me wanna hate them for making me love it even more.



Scissor Sisters - I Don't Feel Like Dancin'


I'm very excited for their new album. I think it'll surpass their debut in a great way. I just wanna hear some more Anna Matronic on this one, it's all I ask for.


Scissor Sisters new single 'I Don't Feel Like Dancin' '
will be released online in the US on August 15th.
Look for their new album Tah-Dah coming soon.

Nelly Furtado Ft. Chris Martin - All Good Things (Come To An End)



Everybody either loves Nelly Furtado's new album Loose or thinks it's totally pretentious and an earsore. I'm one of many who love love love. I hate when I hear people talking about her as a crossover artist. She always had hip hop elements in her music and remixed with Missy Elliot. She just went in the right direction.

When I heard that Chris Martin was going to be singing on one of Nelly's new tracks I was intrigued. I'm personally not much of a listener of Coldplay but I do think that he has one of the nicest voices in music right now. Unfortunately, due to record label politics the version with Chris was cut from the album and re-recorded with vocals only by Nelly. The label said his voice was too 'rock' (wtf?) for the album.

But with the internet and 'leaking' I was able to get the unreleased version of the song. Nelly Furtado explained that Chris Martin's voice was like a ghost on the track and I understand what she meant now; Other than the conversation at the beginning and end of the song, his voice is almost not even there. It reminds me of a wind, it comes and it goes. I don't think it makes the song any worse or any better really. It just adds a little beauty to the track with a male voice. Sexy manvoice and sexy girlvoice together. loves it.

Justin Timberlake 'SexyBack'



When I first heard the name of Justin's new song I wasn't too sure what it meant. I thought it literally meant that some one had a sexy back. Then I thought, hm, maybe he's talking about asses. Whatev, after hearing the song I realize he means he's bringing sexy back. Oh.

I was very very pleased with this song when I heard it. Although it doesn't sound like Justin really at all, maybe his voice was deepened or some shit, I don't know. Timbaland really has been everywhere these days, he's becoming the Paris Hilton of producers. But he does his job well and this song is going to be a definite hit. Electro beats with clanky clanks (Tim loves his clanks), Justin Timberlake's voice distorted to sound almost like Nina Simone at times. Loves it, though. I doubt the rest of his album will sound this way for some reason.

Expatriate

Currently with only an EP under their belt, Expatriate has a great deal of potential. Sounding sometimes like Interpol, sometimes like Depeche Mode, most other times completely unique. Most of their songs are under three minutes but you get so lost in them that you hardly notice. I cannot wait until their album is released and then I can touch myself for longer than 15 minutes.



Playing at barely under two minutes, Killer Kat is like a mini orgasm. The 'meow meow's at the end make me go ping and the organ intro is creepy sexy. My favorite song off their Lovers Le Strange EP

Expatriate - Killer Kat


The Spaces between has such an addicting guitar hook. His vocals are the standout in this track. I swear I wish I lost my virginity to their music. Again, creepy keyboard in the background but you will fall in love. There is also a remix of this song on their EP that is equally sexy. This song is for a night drive home. When you think it's over he comes back wailing that he truly loves you. He does.

Lil' Kim

I hope everyone had a sexy and safe little 4th of July. I was busy getting crunk with my mom so I didn't have a chance (or the sobriety) to make a new post.



Anyway, independence Day came a a little early for my girl Lil' Kim. She was supposed to be in federal prison for a year and a day but was released Monday July 3 for good behavior. That's my girl. See? Just blow the right people and you're out for 'good behavior'.

As a little hollaback to my Queen Bee, this is a song off of her Dance Remixes album. I'm not too fond of this little remix compilation. The majority of the songs are an overage seven minutes long. I can't keep my attention. But, like most albums, there has to be some stand out tracks. It comes as no surprise that one of my favorite tracks is remixed by DFA. Loves the little clanky beats. Not the best remix but my girl is out, ya'll!!!

The Pipettes


I prayed for a new favorite band of the month and God answered with The Pipettes. If ever I wanted to be a bad ass bitch it would now. And I'd want to be a Pipette. Splashes of doo wop, riot grrrl, disco(?), and everything else yo ucan think of makes this band 100% amazing. With songs like Your Kisses Are Wasted On Me, One Night Stand, and Sex, The Pipettes are definitely kittens with whips. Hailing from the UK (of course) these three fine ladies not only know how to give you an aurgasm but they're easy on the eyes as well.

So so so hard to choose a track to share so I thought I'd let them introduce themselves:

The Pipettes - We Are The Pipettes


And my favorite song right now, Pull Shapes is all kinds of amazing. Sometimes when I listen to this song I can't stand how much wonderfulness is coming into my ears I want to go into a coma, wake up, and listen to it again.


The Pipettes - Pull Shapes





The Pipettes album
We Are The Pipettes

will be released July 20 on
Memphis Industries in the UK.

Brad Walsh

There are people that you wish you could be and then there are people that you wish you knew so you could steal their identity. Ok fine they're kind of the same thing but the second is more scandalous. Brad Walsh is all over the place and I love every bit of it. Writing and producing eccentric tunes, being a boy of Misshapes, editor of JUNK Magazine and much more, this boy does his shit good. He does a whole lot and he does it with panache and charisma. I first started listening to him when i downloaded his podcasts from the JUNK magazine website. Loving his taste in music, I decided look him up a bit more. His ear for music is unique and he doesn't know it yet but he's probably going to have about 2 of my children.



Available is an original song by Brad. I love the production and vocals in this song.


Brad Walsh - Available

And, honestly one of the most impressive covers of any song I've ever heard, this remake of Stacie Q's Two of Hearts is utter brilliance. Many people that have heard this song actually prefer Brad's over the original. I think they're both excellent.
