This song came on during my run this morning and single-handedly gave me my second wind. Then, lo and behold, I click on Facebook and find out it’s the second single from one of my favorite albums of 2010 so far and the video is out today! Huzzah!

I love the Sisters. I’ve loved them since the first time I heard the first notes of "Take Your Mama" in the summer of 2004. I want to be best friends with Ana Matronic. Back before I met Brian I dreamed of having a torrid affair with Babydaddy. These guys do glam rock right; this is what Lady Gaga thinks she’s doing.* They’re the true successors to David Bowie, Queen, et al.

*Okay, that’s going to get me in trouble. I have nothing against Gaga. I love her image and the artistry of her work, and I own both her albums. I listen to them while running. And while I *like* her music, I don’t *love* it. To me there’s a disconnect between the throwaway pop sound of her songs and her out-there image. The Scissors have no such disconnect. Their music, while fun, dancy and poppy, is also pretty dark-humored and risque; even in this age when nothing surprises us I often find myself blushing or chuckling out loud at one of their lyrics, or getting chills at a particularly good riff. The tracks "Whole New Way" and "Skin Tight" off their amazing new album, Night Work (iTunes link), are good examples.
