 Hey everyone! The Scissor Sisters hit #1 in the U.K. singles charts a week or two ago. They apparently pissed off transworld with an accurate comment about FYE pricing on the stage at NARM. So it seems transworld/strawberries/fye/sam goody is boycotting their new release....
 
 This reminds me of when Strawberries pulled Husker Du for a YEAR for doing a Newbury in-store 20 years ago...... Fuck 'em!!
 
 Let's try to go all out on this JUST FOR THE FUN OF IT! Get some in store play copies and play 'em please! They're fun. Sparks with a beat...
 
 Amy- use the empty "DVD" windows maybe for this for next week? Just give it to 'em please, if not taken - no $$. thanks.
 
 
 cheers, mike

Hey, even I don't really care for the Scissor Sisters. I mean, they're OK, but every time I hear one of their songs it just sounds like Elton John to me.

Elton John guests on the new CD. Go figure.

you dont like Elton John?

[bearman🐻]

Yeah, but even SS's older stuff sounds like Sir Elton. You know, I can tolerate a few of his songs, but I've never really liked him. One of my best friends would kill me for saying that. He's just not my bag...though I loved his appearance on Little Britain when he was being interviewed by Daffyd, the only Gay in the Village.

I'll go on record as saying I hate Elton John, though it has nothing to do with his sexuality.
 
 Then again, I hate everyone, so nevermind.
