at least the Puppinis won't get the 'only where they are cos they look good' thing [/quasi-sexist]

― Konal Doddz (blueski), Tuesday, 8 August 2006 09:16 (nineteen years ago)

Yes, I wonder how many posts that thread would have got had they been the Puppini Brothers.

this is a pipettes thread, so that's going to take some serious math.

the pippinis have better production innit.

― Bashment Jakes (Enrique), Tuesday, 8 August 2006 09:31 (nineteen years ago)

is it better production or is it just a more preferable style of music? Puppini sisters music seems insipid but otoh a relatively faithful reproduction of an old style?

― Konal Doddz (blueski), Tuesday, 8 August 2006 09:33 (nineteen years ago)

well, it's thicker production. r&j were tinny, cheapo MIDI hell.

― Bashment Jakes (Enrique), Tuesday, 8 August 2006 09:35 (nineteen years ago)

ha ha sorry i thought we were comparing Pipettes production with Puppinis production.

one month passes...

ok 'Judy' is REALLY badly sung on record (let alone live).

― Konal Doddz (blueski), Thursday, 14 September 2006 11:17 (nineteen years ago)

I'd forgotten all about the Pipettes.

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Thursday, 14 September 2006 11:20 (nineteen years ago)

I really really like their album, my girlfriend is called Judy so she is a fan of that song, albeit not for how good it is and more because she likes songs with her name in them.. but then so do I really..

I'll wait for the Pipettes Platinum Collection on Warner Classic in 2029.

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Thursday, 14 September 2006 11:29 (nineteen years ago)

the album is definitely less appealing than the demo / early singles

― electric sound of jim [and why not] (electricsound), Thursday, 14 September 2006 11:31 (nineteen years ago)

xxpost: Judy Teen? Making Judy Smile? Both classics regardless of name (yes, anything on GBA is IMO a 'classic').

― Obvious Ninja (Haberdager), Thursday, 14 September 2006 11:32 (nineteen years ago)

GBA? Gaye Bikers on Acid?

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Thursday, 14 September 2006 11:38 (nineteen years ago)

Going Blank Again, but I like your thinking.

― Obvious Ninja (Haberdager), Thursday, 14 September 2006 11:42 (nineteen years ago)

Get her 'Punch & Judy' by Marillion.

Ha ha loving the recommendations for my lady friend

chris ott's village piece on them in the village voice is just ... uh ...

― tom west (thomp), Thursday, 14 September 2006 13:03 (nineteen years ago)

like hey we all feel guilty about our masturbatory fantasies sometimes but v few of us get to go on about it in depth in the alt weeklies

― tom west (thomp), Thursday, 14 September 2006 13:04 (nineteen years ago)

ott's review brilliantly has the phrase "self-penned biography".

what you or i might call an "autobiography".

― a rapper singing about hos and bitches and money (Enrique), Thursday, 14 September 2006 13:11 (nineteen years ago)

hey, he has a point. most autobiographies are written by ghost-writers nowadays, so it's good to draw a distinction. ;-)

-- Rowlando for the kidz (samonkeyuk...), September 14th, 2006.

What songs have the name Rowlando in them?!

― Rombald (rombald), Thursday, 14 September 2006 13:25 (nineteen years ago)

"can you hear the drums rowlando...?"

it was pretty good as a review of their website. didn't see much in it about the music. maybe he thinks the website is more important, which could be true, i don't know since i haven't looked at the website. none of which dislodges "pull shapes" from my singles-of-the-year list.

― gypsy mothra (gypsy mothra), Thursday, 14 September 2006 14:19 (nineteen years ago)

ok the go! team shouldn't be allowed near another band's multitracks ever again. the production on this record (ok, well, the vocals mainly) is FUCKING TERRIBLE. bad bad vocal production. big mistake.

― electric sound of jim [and why not] (electricsound), Saturday, 16 September 2006 00:21 (nineteen years ago)

i'd never heard a real pipettes song until finding the album used, i quite like it. it's all one speed, they could use some nuance.

― keyth (keyth), Saturday, 16 September 2006 00:34 (nineteen years ago)

Jim OTM. I don't especially like this band but anyway but the production ruined this record completely. This may have already been mentioned elsewhere some time or other...

I like "Simon Says" though. A B-side somewhere, I only have it on mp3.

― Colonel Poo (Colonel Poo), Saturday, 16 September 2006 01:10 (nineteen years ago)

I've only heard a bit of The Pipettes but it sounds as though they're doing something similar to a band out of NYC called Tralala. Essentially it's a bass/guitar/drums outfit that features I believe three (maybe four) girls who sing and play keys to some extent. Very Doo-wop or at least Spector-ish, but also with a Slits/postpunk angle. The music isn't anything revelatory but altogether it definitely works. They have an album out on Audika Records (label that primarily exist to release archived material of Arthur Russell) and I believe they are working on a new album as we speak. Check 'em out.

The album is released next week over here in North America. Can't wait to hear it.

― everything, Tuesday, 21 August 2007 22:59 (eighteen years ago)

I saw them a few months ago in Seattle. Great show, and shows generally bore me these days.

The Pipettes kick off Carling Weekend: Reading Festival

Before playing 'Your Kisses Are Wasted On Me', Pipettes singer Gwenno Saunders awkwardly adjusted her top, saying, "Just got to sort myself out, sexy!" sarcastically, before adding, "I might as well just get my tits out!" to laughter and cheering from the crowd.

Later in the set, before 'Guess Who Ran Off With The Milkman', singer Rose Dougall said, "I've got bronchitis, but I'm still going to get bladdered this weekend!" prompting more cheering

I'm sure their second album will feature many hit singles and not result in them being dropped from their label.

― Dom Passantino, Friday, 24 August 2007 13:21 (eighteen years ago)

I stand by my Quagmire post upthread.

― Dom Passantino, Friday, 24 August 2007 13:22 (eighteen years ago)

a reduced recording budget might be good for them

― electricsound, Saturday, 25 August 2007 01:31 (eighteen years ago)

Oh, are they still around?

― King Boy Pato, Saturday, 25 August 2007 10:48 (eighteen years ago)

Heard "Pull Shapes" for the first time in ages today. Still awful.

rose's solo single is pretty good, no great departure from pipettes-a-like-ness but no slouch either

b-side is more like camera obscura

― do not read if you meatus (electricsound), Wednesday, 17 June 2009 02:26 (sixteen years ago)

I heard this in the record store not too long ago. First time I heard it, I liked it a lot. Second time, not so much.

― Jesus Christ, Attorney at Law (res), Wednesday, 17 June 2009 02:29 (sixteen years ago)

her new indie "edgy" look is pretty silly.

― keythkeythkeyth, Wednesday, 17 June 2009 02:29 (sixteen years ago)

"new"

― do not read if you meatus (electricsound), Wednesday, 17 June 2009 02:35 (sixteen years ago)

i dunno, she's pretty, seems like she's trying to cover that up so people will take her seriously.
