'Temporary Home' by Kelie Bowman Upon entering Pipas' website/blog the first thing you probably notice is a green header that says: " Lupe and Mark sing songs that make their world go around. short, bittersweet." I think that's pretty much all you need to know about them. The rest you'll find in their songs. The Bobby from 'Chunnal Autumna [...]
Tada Tátà are from Umeå, Sweden. They are two girls – Tátà & the Friend – who play the musical equivalent of a really sunny day where all you're doing is laying on a hill with friends and eating snacks! These are very sparse sounds – think Pipas, maybe, but Swedish – but the melodies are so catchy, and it's all so, cute. Word on the MySpace blog is that there's a few releases in sight, including an Edition 59 release and a 7" single, too! These songs are my favorite of the four songs up [...]

Dear Jennifer, How is New York? You must be having fun. You've always wanted to go there. I suppose working for an internet site is fun. I don't understand that stuff, you know. It's been a while since I've seen you. You wanna come and spend a week on the boat? Whales... (The man crumbles up his piece of paper and begins a new letter.) Dear Jenny, Things are great! How about you! World wide web, huh? Sounds fun. Not as fun as a week with your old man on the [...]
Pipas - Long Songs This song's a bit twee. She sounds so resigned it's kinda sad. Web . Myspace .
Halloween approaches! And I am always left stumped at what to do & what to dress up as. My friend G$ in Chicago always comes up with something amazing to be -- & last year she went as MADAME ! Tell me that isn't an amazing costume -- I mean, papier mache & everything! That thing would've made me into an insane person -- all that crap hanging off of my face. Guess I'm not in it to win it. Last year I was Adam [...]
We get quite a lot of spam-comments to Eardrums, as most blogs do. Most of the messages look the same: They start with "Cool site!", "Your site is the best" or something like that, and then lists lots of links to sales sites. As most people, I hate spam, but one of the spammers does it in a cuter way than the others. I call him The Polite Spammer . He starts all his spam-messages with "Sorry " He always put a smile on [...]
el lector de feeds que uso tiene una función para clipear entradas. eso significa que cada vez que leo u ojeo una entrada medianamente interesante le pongo un tick para revisarla, releerla, explorarla o reseñarla aquí o en otros lados en el futuro. eso significa que se me acumulan los ticks, las lecturas, los discos, las canciones que bajarme y reseñar. a modo de purga, ahí van varias canciones tickadas. a rasgos grandes, son bien centelleantes y veraniegas. quien quiera saber más, que pulse más, evidentemente. springfactory - as winter gives away [...]
If you were lucky enough to be at one of the shows of Pipas ' short tour this past May, well like two weeks ago, then you probably grabbed a copy of their new "May 2007 tour only" Mix For The Occupation EP. Clocking in at only, like, five and a half minutes total, it's barely even an EP, but it's three new songs and I like them all, so it's more than okay. I can say with much certainty that the last song, and title track, "Mix For The Occupation" is the prettiest one [...]
Tonight I was checking a few profiles over at Last.fm , when I noticed someone listening heavily to UK indie/twee pop duo Pipas . Since I'm a fan of the genre and saw that the band has been mentioned by several other bloggers , I thought it was a good idea to check them out. And I wasn't disappointed, because the duo (consisting of Lupe Núñez-Fernández & Mark Powell ) writes short, sweet and catchy melodies. And the remix of The Lucksmiths ' [...]
si tuviera más tiempo, dinero, ganas y/o amigos, de aquà a un mes no me perderÃa a: . darren hayman con suburban kids with biblical names , ni tampoco bmx bandits en el neu! club de madriz. . camera obscura en gira por madriz, valencia, albacete, granada, málaga, santa pola, lérida, mallorca o barcelona, y menos cuando tocan con mirafiori o corazón . . ni el montón de grupos chulos que tocan en el primavera club , en barcelona.

Pipas "Riff Raff" - I hear this, and all I can imagine is a shy, generally reserved girl engaging in some kind of low-level late night mischief and getting a little overexcited and having her mind run this rambling interior monologue about how what she is doing barely feels like her life at all and how alive she suddenly feels and how she's going to make a habit of this fresh new fun, but then it passes rather quickly, her pulse slows back to its normal pace, and it's back to normal for another few months [...]
The sympathetic guy below is Matti Eräsaari from Harry Hunks , finnish Belle & Sebastian as some narrow-minded people have called them. The reason why they are important is 1) they sound nice, funny and sophisticated - all at the same time 2) they are kind enough to shed some light on poor us* in the end of November (*playing in Estonia). Listen to Harry Hunks - "I'm not your pet" Two bright looking people on top are Pipas , meaning Guadalupe Nunez-Fernandez from London and [...]
