Stefan - I think I've heard of the Pipettes - where are they from? What style of music do they play?
they`re from brighton; they are trying to come up with a contemporary version of early 60s-girl groups like the shangri-las or ronettes (john lennon would have loved them)! Another interesting thing about them. They are strictly ANTI-Beatles... not because they hate them (they don`t); but just to demonstrate that there can be brilliant retro-music without the overwhelming influence of the beatles; their melodies are breathtaking, and their lyrics are very funny; it`s a very female sense of humour, though. Most songs are about "losers" that are trying to be their boyfriends... In "One Night Stand" the chorus goes: "I don`t love you - I don`t want you - if you think that this is cruel then you should see what my friends do - I don`t love you - I don`t want you - leave me alone you`re just a one night stand!"... they sing it in their sweetest voices...
Their album is so brilliant. 14 songs; each one a potential hit! The perfect summer-album (it will be out in a month!)... BTW; I know so much about them, cos I had a phoner with one of them just half an hour ago! 
where can we get their album?
-
release date is august the 8th (I know I said july elsewhere, but I was wrong)... I think you`ll get it in any good record store once it`s out... right now you can listen to the Pipettes, if you visit their myspace-profile...

http://www.myspace.com/thepipettes http://www.thepipettes.co.uk/ I like how they have "Step inside, loves" in the first page of their website... anti-beatles you say?
also,but just to demonstrate that there can be brilliant retro-music without the overwhelming influence of the beatles
that's impossible
they sound great though! -

well I asked Rose from the pipettes about it, and her explanation made a lot of sense to me; and I`m one of the most fanatical beatle-fans in the world
"Pull Shapes" is such a fantastic song!

And these aren`t even the best songs from the LP! It`s quality all the way through, no fillers... almost like a "best of" rather than a debut

!I heard the album and it's amazing. I think I'll order it online on vinyl. I'm also thinking of ordering the Pull Shapes single in 3 different formats (CD, two limited 7 inch vinyls, one yellow one orange). And yeah the avatar is the best

) and we can take ideas from each other -

)! -

You should also look for the "Meet The Pipettes"-EP. It contains three tracks from the album PLUS two very good acoustic-versions of "Judy" and "Dirty Mind"! How did you get to hear the complete album, BTW
? I don`t think it`s out yet... -

The charts thing sounds very cool... I'll get around to it tonight. It will be very hard not to include the Beatles. Now I'm off to a pool party to groove with my girlfriends to some Pipettes!

Guys check this girl, her name is Pitty She is a young Brazilian rock star, very good her new video Deja vu
Memórias People here say I look like her. I think it´s the hair, lol. -

In this exact moment: Totti vs Schwarzer (penalty)... 1:0 CONGRATULATIONS, Applescruff82!!!!!!!!
-
I wanted Australia to win so bad. =( Anyway, I don't know what's happenning but I keep finding retro-sounding bands on myspace. I luv my retro. Check The Indikation, if you haven't already: http://www.myspace.com/theindikation They are from Norway, maybe Svenn has heard of them. I love this underground sound! Also, The Fore: http://www.myspace.com/thefore I think they need some work with the vocals, but otherwise they have totally captured the Mersey sound!

What a fucking horror-week (and the weeks before weren`t that nice either!)... it can get no worse!!!
: Michelle; I`ll watch the video you posted tomorrow; and kaleidoscope (BTW, what`s your name my friend?), I`ll also be taking a look at your retro-bands tomorrow... -

Hey, I've aways wanted to know kaleidoscope's name. Well, she is beautiful, and that's the most important thing I guess! Listening to some songs by the indikation. Very cool music. Never heard of them. Thanks for the link, kaleidoscope.
