Scissor Sisters: Whole New WayIt would be a shame to enter fall without acknowledging one of summer’s greatest album releases, which would–of course–be Scissor Sisters‘ Night Work.

Realboy: The RitzSay “hello” to LA-groomed DJs, Realboy (Austin Jacobsen & Daniel Gomez). Starting off as graffiti artists, the duo traded vandalizing streets for rocking dance floors, a wise decision on their part–if anyone’s asking for my 2 cents.
