I'd forgotten all about the Pipettes.

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

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.

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

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.

i dunno, she's pretty, seems like she's trying to cover that up so people will take her seriously.
― keythkeythkeyth, Wednesday, 17 June 2009 03:39 (fifteen years ago) link
That single's so-so. I don't see that cover photo as trying to cover up her hotness, exactly.
― Nhex, Wednesday, 17 June 2009 04:04 (fifteen years ago) link
yeah i was kinda scratching my head about that
― do not read if you meatus (electricsound), Wednesday, 17 June 2009 04:08 (fifteen years ago) link
x-post Well it's kind of impossible to cover up Rosay's hotness isn't it? And, what would be the point?
I kind of like the single. At least is the first time that doesn't sound like she's totally obsessed with Broadcast

Indie, yes. Edgy, not so much.

Can you point me in the direction of this stuff that's supposed to sound like Broadcast? I don't hate this, but I might like that better.
(and yes, several years on, I still prefer the Long Blondes. Surprise surprise.)

Going by the stuff on YouTube, I might like this. Will probably pick up the album. I need some summer girl fun with added extra Farfisa.

She had a couple of tracks on myspace that are no longer there. I think one of them was "Another Version of Pop Song".

Kate, have you heard Help Stamp Out Loneliness?

"Torvill & Dean" is the big winner as far as my ears are concerned but I have both the 7"s and all four sides are worth yr time.
also yes, Long Blondes > Pipettes for ever and ever and ever and ever and ever.

jj is not very broadcast but they would definitely appeal to someone who was a fan of broadcast. very beautiful. i think. rose's songs in the pipettes were mostly a drag, i just listened to this single, bah. i guess i am the only one to think her new look is silly, ok.
― keythkeythkeyth, Sunday, 28 June 2009 02:55 (fifteen years ago) link
Any thoughts on the new EP? It has its moments but We Are the Pipettes is seeming more and more like a fortunate accident.
― skip, Sunday, 25 April 2010 22:02 (fourteen years ago) link
The lineup's really different from what it was, so I'm not too surprised. Haven't liked any of the singles that came out since then.
― Nhex, Sunday, 25 April 2010 22:19 (fourteen years ago) link
there's only been this one? unless you're talking about rose elinor dougall's solo stuff
― fag-amplitude (electricsound), Monday, 26 April 2010 01:51 (fourteen years ago) link
The spaceman song is great. The stop the music song is an atrocity. But then listening to the album now reveals about the same hit to miss ratio.

lol remember "the pipettes"?
― eyes without afaik (Whiney G. Weingarten), Monday, 26 April 2010 02:55 (fourteen years ago) link
Perhaps I was thinking of the "Stop the Music" single, but I vaguely remember they put out another song on their myspace with the lineup in-between the album group and the current one. Either way, I wasn't really enthused. I'll keep an ear out for this.

not as good as rose's solo lp

Gwenno's album is fantastic. I think it's been re-released already, but I'm not sure. It's out on Heavenly--was out on Peski, a Welsh label, originally. You must check it out. I am not a Pipettes fan, but I think it's one of the best albums I've heard in ages.

Ooh, Y Dydd Olaf is wonderful, though I'm not sure if people after this kind of Broadcast/Bachelorette-esque vibe would click on a Pipettes thread ... fits in nicely with this year's Susanne Sundfør album, in a way. Has anyone encountered the novel it's based upon?
