Scissor Sisters Update

I can't wait for the new Scissor Sisters album! The set, titled Ta-Dah, will be released Sept. 18 (Sept. 26 in US). Their first album, Scissor Sisters, was my second-favorite album of 2004 (just after Keane), and was a stunning debut. Their Official Web site is having some kind of makeover tomorrow. The first single, "I Don't Feel Like Dancin'" will be out Sept. 4.

I looked them up on Wikipedia and found some interesting facts:

• Jake Shears wrote the song "Mary" about his real-life best friend Mary, who sadly died of a brain aneurysm just a couple of months ago. "Mary" was a #1 hit on the UK airplay chart 2 years ago.
• The Scissor Sisters album was the best-selling album in the UK for 2004, beating album #2, Keane's Hopes and Fears, but just over 500 copies.
• Ana Matronic's father was gay, resulting in the break-up of his marriage to her mother. He died of AIDS when she was young. She cites her interest in gay culture as a means of trying to be closer to him.
• Ana Matronic fans calls themselves "nuns."
• The fancy name for the, um, act that the band is named for is tribadism.
