20060926_sissorsis_260x220.jpgI want to go back and be a gay teenager just so I can put pictures of Jake Shears in my locker. I know I’m not the first to observe that the Scissors Sisters front man is sex on a stick in spandex. I bet he can eat whatever he wants, too.

The band’s new disc, Ta-dah, is full of smart, infectious pop and I can’t get enough of it.

I got to chat with Jake this week for the syndicated gay radio show I co-host, Twist, and I’m ever more of a Jake fan now. If international stardom has swelled his head, it sure didn’t come across in our interview.

He was candid and gracious and fun.

My favorite anecdote that he shared came in response to my question, “Have you ever had a wardrobe malfunction on stage?” (Jake has a fondness for tight and shiny stagewear, which I support 100%).

He told a story about how during a performance of the ballad, “Laura,” he felt a slight breeze and he looked down and his “wang” was hanging out. “And my mom was in the front row videotaping!” he added.

If you buy purchase the bands DVD showcasing their first album there's a hidden option to get a clip of Jake undressing between a performance, that alone makes it worth buying, but you also get the bonus of getting to see one of their best shows ever and tons of extra footage.
