Magician Man Sometimes Always (Jesus and Mary Chain cover, with Brakes) Your Guitars Are Wasted On Me Judy (acoustic) It Hurts To See You Dance So Well (early version) KFC (with members of the Go! Team and DJ Scotch Egg) Why Did You Stay? (acoustic) Why Did [...]
Huh, that's weird. First up, news from the Shearwater front: Kelefa Sanneh gave the band a big thumbs up the other day in the NYT . Sidebar to Mr. Sanneh: Read the liner notes again and you might find the uniting theme to the album. Maybe the mp3 below will be of assistance? Don't worry, I needed a hint too (thx L-Train!). On the other hand, we hear -- and you totally didn't hear this from us -- that they've been dropped from their label, Misra , who are [...]
Yes. It's been a long fucking time since I've posted. I've been busy, and hey - I went to Vegas, so that's gotta count for something, right? Any-dang-way, I've decided (yes, all by myself) that the newest thing is going to be retro 60s music instead of retro 80s. Think about it. The sound has stood the test of time for way longer than 80s synths and wacky hairdos and tight jeans have, the dancing is awesome, and it escapes the bullshit, short-term-novelty of kinda sorta reliving something that you remember from when you were 8, but were [...]
Sorry for the lack of update yesterday, kids. We're a bit busy recovering from the holiday. I don't have a full post together for today either, but I figured I'd throw a few songs your way until I get reorganiz-ized. You're also probably wondering about the subject of this post. The thing is I've been going to a LOT of shows lately, and trying to snap live photos with a craptastic $100 digital camera is not only embarr ASS ing... it's damn frustrating. Blurry photo after blurry photo, all while looking like a jackass. So all I'm asking [...]
Discography: WE ARE THE PIPETTES (Memphis Industries - 2006) Prendete tre ragazze del Soul, della geniale irruenza di Phil Spector e dei classici di Stax e Motown, aggiungeteci l’attrazione per un’ immagine quanto mai raffinata ed elegante della pop music e dell’iconografia fifties e sixties e avrete The Pipettes. Giovani belle e stilose le Pipettes sono, oggi le parenti strette dei Girl Group del passato. Se per caso (ma ci credo poco) non abbiate idea di che cosa siano questi gruppi al femminile, provate a ricordavi nomi come The Ronettes, Martha [...]
It's hot. It's sunny. School's out. I think it's safe to say it's summertime and the living, minus spending the next two months without my girlfriend, is easy. Advance copies for most of this summer's albums are out there in some form or another, so what better time to preview this season's upcoming records? Sufjan Stevens - The Avalanche (July 11) OK, so it's not a new state. Indie icon Sufjan Stevens can't even pass gas without the blogosphere (and music geeks everywhere) freaking [...]
Originally, I was going to write a rebuttal/addendum to Aaron's mind-blowingly incredible blog post about The State of Music ; but let's be honest with ourselves, you don't just turn a sacred cow like that into an Animal Style cheeseburger with a side of french fries . Instead, to prove to you readers out there that there is still good music being produced today, I was going to present you a mid-year roundup of the best music of the year so far. ...And then I decided that was [...]
Sometimes I wish I was named Roland. Y'know, just because. The Pipettes - "Sex": mp3 I know I just posted on them, but I've been listening to this record two or three times a day all week. It's unbelievably catchy - like the Magic Numbers album from last year with even shorter songs and roughly the same ratio of great tracks to decent ones. I compared The Pipettes to "Art Brut for girls" the other day, and I think that analogy holds true, except that where Art Brut [...]
"I just want to move, I don't care what the song's about." The summer has arrived. From what I've heard so far, the Pipettes are a British female trio that plays twee-pop with a doo-wop disco twist, and execute everything flawlessly. Besides, listening to cute British girls singing about wanting you out on the dance floor on the single "Pull Shapes" is impossible to resist - go ahead and try. The Pipettes - "Pull Shapes": mp3 The Pipettes - "Your [...]
We would like to introduce you to The Pipettes . When we kicked back, threw on the headphones, and listened to this artist we thought "Polka dotted bikini beach party at the local pub." What did you think? Use a tag or comment to share your thoughts with everyone. Enjoy. Genre: Rock-Pop-Folk Label: Memphis Industries Source: Pocket|Trax [...]
