Scissor Sisters - Hurrah! A Year of Ta-Dah

These 19 song recorded during live show in 2007, at London's 02, along with a behind the scenes documentary of the Scissor Sisters on the tour itself. I'm not a big Scissor fan myself, i like some of their songs, though. I like their nice Comfortably Numb cover, or their great brit-pop oriented song I Can't Decide. Their sound vision perfectly fits with showily dressed clothings, make-up, and femininity, this proves the inspirition by burlesque, drag queens, and glam rock. As always, i present music and give an opinion about it, listening and loving are up to you. This live cd gives an absolute opinion about how enjoyable live performance of Scissor Sisters is.

PJ Harvey - The Piano

The ninth track from new Polly Jean Harvey Record is the best single of this week. The song is called The Piano, its mellow atmosphere which hides some anger inside of it. At the end of the track, all anger, missing come out from Pj Harvey's bitter voice, repeating "Oh God I miss you" several times. This is short and polished adult contemporary song. However, do not expect too much from lyrics they're simple, but you can put your music list where you can help the beauty of song to come out. Nobody's listening / Nobody's listening / Nobody's listening. Is it the truth of life? Yes, nobody's listening.

The Fiery Furnaces

I was having good time with some of my friends. I don't know if told you about my music obsession when i'm outside. Ha! It's just like being hungry. Simply i'm hungry for music even if i'm at bus, at a restaurant or bar. Well i'm looking for my cds like a little kid. Let's back to my story, i was having good time, talking, laughing, eating. Suddenly something help me to realize the song on my mp3 player. My Egyptian Grammar by The Fiery Furnaces, and i took my mp3 player from my bag, and put the headphones, started to listening in front of my friends. One of my friends was like a little duck which wants to attack to a white dressed pride. That was so funny, and this was the necessary influence of this band. I couldn't explain this, even i'd tried to advice for a The Fiery Furnaces listen to them. No sir, they really don't know anything about music. That was joke, go and listen your music. I loveeeeee this so much! One of the best indie rock bands in last ten years.

Goldfrapp - Seventh Tree

New Goldfrapp album Seventh Tree starts slowly. Like watching a flower growing,  the songs play softly. It sounded quite dull at my first listen. However, I love their most of the previous songs. It is up to you like this album or not. Because Goldfrapp warned us on their myspace:

"It's very different to [2005's] 'Supernature,' so it might come as a bit of a shock to some of you," said Goldfrapp's Alison Goldfrapp and Will Gregory on the band's MySpace page. "We had fun making it and loved doing something that is in complete contrast to the last album, even though sometimes it took a bit of courage to steer as far away as we did on some of the tunes."

'loved doing something that is in complete contrast'
This sentence makes me worried. It sounds to me that their songs can be something you may not like. I can only disappoint you, but in my opinion Seventh Tree sucks. Everyone is different. So, you decide if you like it or not.  However, I loved the two songs  'Cologne Cerrone Houdini' and the closing track 'Clowns'.
By the way, The first single to be taken from the new Goldfrapp album Seventh Tree is A&E.
