Retro/gimmick/kitsch novelty or no, their version of "Wuthering Heights" just gave me the biggest smile I've had in days.

We can only wish the Pipettes had a "They Don't Know" on this album. There's an example of a girl group pastiche that actually works.
Re "Pull Shapes" - I think the "I like to disco/to rock & roll/to hip hop" is a key to what I don't like about this album. It's way too Spice Girls/"Wannabe." It's like they're trying their hardest to get everyone up and dancing, but everyone's just staring blankly.

I'm just saying that it's an approach that doesn't suit this particular project.

2 brilliant songs (pull shapes and judy). but the rest range from good to blatant filler.

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.

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

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.
