Scissor Sisters version of Comfortably Numb?

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

'W**k' I think sums it up rather nicely.

Bee Gees on more kinds of medication than I feel comfortable with. :von:
Loki was never worshiped as the other Gods,
Which is quite understandable.

Thanks to the "Web" ;-) I am playing this very track at this very moment - and what a total pile of Carp!

"Girls Aloud" would have done a much much better job!

It's made by machines, for machines. I'm amazed at how anyone can so thoroughly remove all the emotion from a song.
To not know and to ask a question is a moment of embarrassment; to not know and not ask is a lifetime of shame.

Thanks to my current lack of a tele-vision-thing and my deep detest towards radio stations I have not heard it yet. ;D

Back to my book ... "Florian Illies: Anleitung zum Unschuldigsein" (Florian Illies: A Guide To Unconsciousness)

Oh, and I am just listening to "New Gold Dream" ... Girls Under Glass cover version though.
No shade of anything can make a good summer over here.

Same here. I've never heard it and don't wish to.
(Currently listening to a Hong Kong radio station, a 12-hour radio tribute to Anita Mui who sadly passed away at the end of December.)

It's a file-sharing facility, like Kazaa and, once upon a time, Napster.
Here's a download site:
http://www.soft-download.co.uk/winmx.html

Now, you do know I'm not actually inciting you to download anything from WinMX, don't you? It is, I'm told, illegal in some way.

Or go to http://www.drownedinsound.com/bands/6263.html and have a listen in RealAudio while reading about the band.

At least it's original, which is more than you can say about certain other versions.

An EBG speaks:-
Comfortably Numb, is David Gilmour of The Pink Floyd's finest solo on the red Fender Stratocaster to date, but stay tuned...
Cover versions do not even come close and I include TSOM in that statement, Scissor Sisters are a gay joke.

first time I heard it I thought it was groovy (but I didn't get beyond the intro). Hmmm. Yep, it's pants. Maybe it'll inspire Von to get on TOTP pronto to show 'em how it should be done. :von:
