Pose In The Mirror, Wiggle A Bit

Smash TV “Queen Of Man” – I’m not sure about how to articulate this, but one of the best things about this sexy, dayglo disco single is that it has this inexplicable aura of classiness. I can’t help but think of attractive people riding around in limos late at night in some megametropolis, but not in some kind of decadent, trashy way. What I have in mind is more earnest, matter of fact, and graceful. It’s a bit preposterous, and I’m probably just half-remembering some music video – probably the one for Joe Jackson’s “Steppin’ Out,” which made an indelible impression on my young psyche. (Click here to buy it from Juno.)

Also: Those of you with access to p2p networks should seek out the second leaked Fiona song, “Better Version Of Myself.” It’s quite good, though not quite as stunning as “Extraordinary Machine.” (Don’t be alarmed by the fact that I took down that mp3, by the way – I wasn’t slapped with a cease and desist or anything like that. I’m a bit nervous about having that song up since it was mentioned in the Reuters article, and it’s a major label release. I figure that most everyone who regularly reads this blog would have heard it by now, and everyone who hasn’t can head on over to Scenestars.)
