@mindchnger: cool Adam mention in Vulture's review of the new Scissor Sisters album

These qualities have always been around somewhere, whether in dance-music undergrounds or campy rock acts—but they seem, at the moment, to have more and more purchase on mainstream pop culture. If these acts scan, to fans, as bold and fearless, that’s not a matter of cool, or swagger, or camp. It’s about grand, earnest theatricality; about unrestrained ambition and oversize emotions; about, perhaps, never telling yourself that anything is “too much.” In a recent Voice interview, Lambert outlined a community he felt in touch with—including “Scissor Sisters, Sam Sparro, and Beth Ditto and the Gossip.” (It seems obviously artistically relevant that Lambert, Gaga, Sparro, Ditto, and three of five Scissor Sisters are either gay or bisexual.) They were, he suggested, “pulling something off that other people might be a little scared of”—and underlining it with sounds mainstream listeners spent decades suspicious of, sounds other musicians might find riskily immodest. That spirit seems strong lately. Maybe not strong enough to help Scissor Sisters’ Stateside sales, but it’s something.
