Sisters
Director Brian De Palma made a name for himself with this twisty shocker starring a pre-SUPERMAN Margot Kidder as the mysterious Danielle. A French-Canadian model, Danielle may be covering up a murder to protect her recently separated homicidal Siamese twin--or maybe not. Plucky female reporter Grace Collier (Jennifer Salt) witnessed the killing from her apartment window but can't convince some clueless cops to investigate, so she hires a private detective (Charles Durning) to help her solve the case. Eventually she winds up at a mysterious sanitarium in the clutches of Danielle's creepy psychiatrist husband, Emil (William Finley), and begins to unravel the shocking truth. < br > < br > Scary, funny, clever, and firmly rooted in a Hitchcockian universe, SISTERS set the tone for many of De Palma's future works, including DRESSED TO KILL and RAISING CAIN.

Bruce's connection to folk protest deepens, in righteously swaggering preacher and congregation style, on the epochal rewrite of "How Can A Poor Man Stand Such Times and Live". A Depression era classic that Springsteen found on a Ry Cooder album and then amended with his own brilliantly Bush-baiting verse is perhaps the most politically extreme and, as hammered home here, exultant performance of his career.
Arguably even more profound, certainly as dramatic, is "Eyes On The Prize". Gilded by pedal steel and prowling stand up bass, the duet between Springsteen and raw throated guitar player Mark Anthony Thompson is like Sinatra and Sammy Davis doing revolutionary Gospel.
The stately waltz of "If I Should Fall Behind", a duet with Patty Sciafla, meanwhile brings the drama of the human heart into focus, while the choruses of "When The Saints Go Marching In" and "This Little Light Of Mine" rock free and easy.
In short, it's everything Springsteen's big-hearted thoughtfully impassioned take on Americana ever set out to be. Swing out sisters and brothers, swing out.

Ladies and gentlemen, break out the sequins and adjust your disco balls, because the Scissor Sisters are back. Exploding onto the UK charts two years ago with their self-titled debut full of catchy glam-pop, the Sisters found middling success here in the States, where the airwaves are dominated by ...

Some bands get it so right their first time out that you really really hope no one'll get ambitious too soon: start fiddling with the formula or trying to lyrically expand into a concept or otherwise screw with everything that made you like 'em in the first place. The Scissor Sisters' ...

There's a famous picture of Woody Guthrie where along the face of his guitar are clearly seen the words "This Machine Fights Fascists". That picture has long been part of the romantic image that's grown up among "folkies" about the guy who inspired Bob Dylan and wrote ...

Say hello to the Zing family - a motley crew of sisters, grandparents, boyfriends, husbands, daughters and cousins. They all have a secret big enough to merit weekly meetings, a bulk discount at the local Spy Supply, and reverential capitalization. It's not just a secret; it's The Zing ...

Ever wonder what is keeping disco alive? It has to be more than a couple of old queens and a fag-hag or two. Disco is a lot of fun when done right. Artists like Goldfrapp and The Scissor Sisters do it so well you could just dance all night and never even think “disco”. In fact these days ...

As I have listened to Exit Clōv's EP Respond Respond on repeat over the past few weeks, I am frequently reminded of the blissful harmonies created by the Murmurs. Twin sisters Emily and Susan Hsu provide the vocals for Exit Clōv, as well as keyboards and violins. Their voices weave in ...
