Scissor Sisters Talk About Their Favorite New Bands: Video

We don’t mean to slam every other band in the world with this observation, but has there ever been a group of musicians more self-possessed, smarter, more interesting to interview or more generous with their love of other (presumably competing) artists than Scissor Sisters? In the series of seven clips above, the band talks about being influenced by ’90s house music while making their album “Magic Hour,” the dangers of getting slimed for a music video, and gives all kinds of recommendations for bands to check out. And they name their dream dates (Mariah Carey is one!) Love them. Video, above.
