New Contest Alert! – Autographed Band/Cast Member CD Giveaway, Deadline Saturday October 25th.
THIS WEEEK we continue our three-part showcase of featured music in the show from the best bands appearing this week in the 2008 CMJ Festival in New York City. Now entering the ring, San Francisco’s very own, Scissors For Lefty! I love them. So should you. Ding Ding.
SFL is a favorite band to hail from the potent San Francisco indie scene and one that really has a chance to go all the way. You might have seen them on tour with Arctic Monkeys, Blonde Redhead, Shiny Toy Guns or The Fratelli’s. They get compared to The Killers but I don’t really get why, it’s not even close. A wise man once said, “If Scissors For Lefty were an article of clothing, they just might be your favorite sweater.” They just stick like that, glamour and all. Songs are filled with ecstasy, agony, loneliness and a certain swagger that ties the whole thing together, and it’s beautiful.
New Contest Alert!
One of the many reasons we psyched to be working with Scissors is the chance to preview/debut two brand spanking new songs from their upcoming untitled LP due later this year. This is a real honor for us and we hope you let the guys know how grateful we are to hear them all week in Chapter 6. The guys in SFL will autograph a copy of their brand new record, along with the two cast members of your choice. This will be a one of a kind deal to commemorate the show. Entering is simple. Invade the SFL myspace, LG15 style. Comment, embed, friend, message – you name it. TAKE IT OVER, bring them here. We will be lurking and give the CD to our most active community member with the announcement coming Saturday morning as decided by the band. Commence invasion…now.
On the Fly. Off the Cuff.

How come the embedded imeem playlist shows the songs from chapter 1 and not the current chapter.
October 21st, 2008 at 3:47 pm
Hmm…not really sure what you mean. The current chapter should be the first 3 songs on the playlist with the week 1 music at the end. I’ll definitely look into it.

I think we’re trying to bring ANYONE here we can.
I’m listening to the Consumption Junction song right now….very good
