Have you carried out a successful con? Perhaps you hustled a few quid off a stranger, or defrauded a multi-national company. Or have you been taken for the wide-eyed, naive rube that you are?

Comfortably DumbI should have known a lot better - and I'm ashamed to admit it given that my profile identifies exactly who I am - but, on the strength of a first single that, despite myself, I quite liked, I was persuaded to buy the debut album by an up-and-coming New York band.
It turned out to be an utter con: a pisspoor karaoke version of Sparks' "Kimono My House", and I've not listened to it once since purchase.
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the Scissor Sisters.
Now: a dilemma. Does clicking "I like this" mean "Actually, I like(d) this album", or "I agree with you, Enzyme: it's complete toilet"? There's only one way to find out...

Sparks!There's only a few select members of this board who will know who they are I'm afraid.

SparksI have one (1) Sparks mp3 called "In the Future". It's pretty awesome. I'm not too familiar with this "Scissor Sisters" entity of which you speak, but then my town has a rich variety of media which enables me to avoid the Top 40 entirely.

Avoiding the top 40Thanks to Radios 3, 4, and 6, I thought I'd avoided the top 40 as well... but it was 6music that introduced me to the SSisters. Tom Robinson has to save a lot of puppies to make up for that.
