you just keep on saving the day

I realised I didn’t say anything about the choice of song inspiration for this layout. I love Scissor Sisters, in case it isn’t obvious by now, but I can basically guarantee that even if you hate everything else the Sisters have done, you will like “Land of a Thousand Words”… at least a little. It’s not like their other songs. It’s slow, thoughtful, moving, gentle and stirring, without losing the edge that makes the Sisters’ music so addictive.

It also has one of the loveliest, greatest music videos I’ve ever seen, second in my book to “She’s My Man” (always #1! directed by the late, great, lamented Nagi Noda). It’s a parody of old Bond film introductions, and it’s incredibly slick and stylish.

For some reason YouTube won’t let me access both these videos now while it did in the past. Country filters are annoying…
