I first heard about this group earlier this year when they made a mix for the PSB's song "Flamboyant." Loved that. Ran into their album and gave it a spin.

Their new album is hot! Yes, yes, yes. Disco meets rock -- who'd thunk it?

I'm in love with...
Mary
Comfortably Numb (disco-y cover of Pink Floyd's tune...Jake's killing it with the Gibb-inspired vocals -- he has a great effeminate falsetto)
Tits on the Radio (reminds me of the Robyn Bird show!)
Laura (love the beat)
Lovers In The Backseat
Take Your Mama Out
Music Is The Victim (so so so so so hot)

This is Lower Manhattan rock for your a**!

BUY THIS ALBUM.

A good friend told me about them quite awhile ago. But then I saw their video. I'm not quite sure about it.

It seems like something I'd like but it hasn't caught me yet. It seems very Elton John-ish which is a good and a bad thing I guess.

Vocally, the lead singer sounds like Elton John and the Gibb brothers rolled into one. Then I hear some Frankie Meets Hollywood in there, too. The album is hot. Si Si Si.

the only song i have heard so far is Take Your Momma out and i like it a lot

My roomie has been obssessing over this band for quite a long time now. I've liked everything he's played so far and am needing to go pick up the record myself...

good summary!

ps...isn't the version of comfortably numb TOO MUCH FUN!?!?!!

Yes, it is.

And "Music Is The Victim" is "Love Shack" for the summer of 2004! They are going to town with that song.

ps, as of this moment I hate comfortably numb. I haven't been able to get it out of my head since I read this thread this morning!

Great cd.

THIS IS MY SONG OF THE DAY.

"Tits On The Radio"

Creamsicle sky while the sun sets up in the west
Where are the queers on the piers, heard they gave it their best
Now they got jobs at a local fast food chain
Flippin' tricks for the burger, since Lady M jacked their fame
Flippin' tricks for the burger, since Lady M jacked their fame

You can't see tits on the radio
I'll give you five fingers for a one man show
Fasten those pants for the lap dance
Take a shot now this may be your last chance

There ain't no tits on the radio (Oh no)
There ain't no tits on the radio (Oh no)
There ain't no tits on the radio (Oh no)
There ain't no tits on the radio (No no)

Dark room Danny can't see with the lights turned out
Black haired tranny counts sheep with her bed turned down
But the bed's in Jersey and the sheep's on a farm
Dark room Danny hears police alarm
Dark room Danny can't see with the lights turned out
Dark room Danny can't see with the lights turned out

You can't see tits on the radio
I'll give you five fingers for a one man show
Fasten those pants for the lap dance
Take a shot now this may be your last chance

There ain't no tits on the radio (Oh no)
There ain't no tits on the radio (Oh no)
There ain't no tits on the radio (Oh no)
There ain't no tits on the radio (No no)

I left my heart in San Fransisco
It's at some motherfucking disco
The people there where dancin' on it
And that's including Ms. Matronic

Hell if music is the victim then so am I
Of lovin' and a cheatin' the snake gon' bite
I beg and I scream and I cuss and I cry
If music is the victim then som am I

Of your bad fun
Money's all gone but you need some
Lover's on the phone but the got none
Daddy ain't home from the dog run
And you're riding through the city with a shotgun

I left my bag in Pasadena
Where all them girls was doin' Tina
Them bitches sure where crunked up on it
I said I'd rather smoke som chronic

Hell if music is the victim then so am I
Of lovin' and a cheatin' the snake gon' bite
I beg and I scream and I cuss and I cry
If music is the victim then som am I

Of your bad fun
Money's all gone but you need some
Lover's on the phone but the got none
Daddy ain't home from the dog run
And you're riding through the city with a shotgun

I left my man in Houston Texas
Just before he finished breakfast
He said; oh baby fry some more eggs
But I was runnin' on my own two legs

Hell if Jesus had the power than so do I
To rise up from the dead and take up to the sky
I'm bustin' for the money so I get by
If music is the victim then so am I
