So ... anyone else not had their tickets yet? We, um ... do get actual paper tickets, right? Or am I being dumb?

Okay, if anyone else hasn't had their tickets yet, email motoredsquare@bluestarmobile.com, I found they were very helpful, and quick! See y'all there!

The whole album is currently previewing on their myspace page.

Disco-tastic.

Controls don't work, btw...you have to listen one by one.

"I Can't Decide" sounds a bit like the theme tune from Thomas the Tank Engine. Which is no bad thing, I might add. Great lyrics.

Mr. Shears has certainly become rather wordy...the density of the lyrics seems to have ramped up considerably...again, no bad thing, necessarily.

It's certainly as retro as ever. Sophomore, though, so no big departures from what's expected really. Very tight fucking band, fo' sho'. More power to them.

Just want to hear 'Kiss you Off'. Grr. No f fwd.

'Land of a Thousand Words' is niiiice.

Not really getting the 'James Bond' influenced, tbh, more Elton John (again), who never did Bond, which is kind of surprising actually...Nice tune, though. Like a camp Oasis.

Brrr. Scratch that. Horrid thought.

Ooh Yeah, baby. Ana Matronic ramps it up, Electro Rock Clash style. 'Kiss You Off' is, er, fabulous.

And tonight, the Scissor Sisters rocked our world. Trafalgar Square, free show. They made us love them again. The old stuff still somehow sounds so fresh, the new stuff sounds top and I'm so excited about getting hold of the new album. I was a bit surprised that Kylie introduced them but didn't duet, still, it is Kylie weekend at GAY, so maybe it was a video link-up anyway. Woot, indeed woot.

Decloaking briefly to say WOW! And WOW! Most excellent! Had they played Return to Oz, I could have died happy on the way home down Whitehall. Magfuckingnificent!

OK, enough exclamation marks. Lovely to see so many Barbeloids communing. Strange how, in a crowd of thousands of people wearing red, I still happened across the lovely Our Lady and supporting cast of Barbeloids, fresh from encountering Elene and Mistofflelees in another place.

Misty's red shirts came in handy when we had to cajole sleazenation into getting into party mood and reddening up in his bright red Barbelith t-shirt.

And then we did go to Duckie and exult feverishly till our joie de vivre was depleted, just about!

In the half light of Trafalgar Square as dusk fell, Babydaddy was godlike and Flyboy was a classy honey kissy huggy lovey dovey ghetto princess. Hope to see you all on the C4 coverage, you lovely people.

Kylie! Fountains full of wet, sexy, dancing men! And Hello Anna, sorry I was caught up in another drama. Happy happy, joy joy...

Their only Canadian gig is in Toronto, dammit. They're such a Montreal band, too. Sad now.

Hmmm, I do like 'Ta-Da', I wish they'd finished off with another 'Return to Oz' though. But huge gumby smile as I step out of the house with 'I Don't Feel Like Dancin' in my ears.

If you've got digital TV the Beeb are looping a Radio1 session with the Sisters. I'm just trying to record it at the mo...

At the moment it's becoming increasingly difficult for me to listen to any other album than "Ta-dah". Repeat, repeat. When listening to it on the subway, in headphones, people around me light up in all kinds of colours, like Christmas trees, and start to dance madly.

The album might be slightly weaker towards the end but it's all great. Need to listen to it again: might post more about the songs as I get a better grip on them.
