I gotta find me a British girl, because The Pipettes keep taking my heart

Let's fly over to England, everyone! While we're here, let's rock on down to that venue that I don't know the name of and let's watch Riot Becki, Gwenno and Rosay completely remove our socks so hard with their adorableness. They'll adorable your socks off so hard you'll forget that's not how you verb that word. So click this, yo.

The Pipettes are total pop. Formed by a promoter, girls hired to do choreographed singing on stage, all-male band is never seen in publicity photos, the whole deal. They're signed to the same label as The Go! Team. And they are so fucking fun it hurts.

How much can someone say about a manufactured pop group? It helps that they're indie pop, I guess, and that they're a lot more awesome in sound than most pop groups, and y'know what? I don't fucking care. We Are The Pipettes is one of the best albums I've got recently. Tracks like Pull Shapes, Your Kisses Are Wasted On Me and One Night Stand make me stand up and jump around and dance like a total spaz, whereas Why Did You Stay, Sex and I Love You make me sit and giggle to myself about things in life are radical. They totally are. Their lyrics are about sex and simple love, their backing music is really reminiscent of Phil Spector and their accents. OH GOD THEIR ACCENTS. "I looked at your score sheet and I saw a seven, so I walked up to you and said 'baby did it hurt when you fell from heaven'" should in no way be a great line but those accents, oh god those accents make it work so hard.

Oh and I made out with someone at a party who looked just like Rosay. But that's just me bragging. I don't brag as much as people think I do, really.


And fuck a myspace link, let's have some SUPER FUN MUSIC JOKES INSTEAD!

This trombone player is rushing from a gig to meet his girlfriend for dinner. In his haste, he leaves his trombone on the back seat, in plain view from the street. He realizes this halfway through dinner and says "Shoot, I better go check my car, I don't want anything bad to happen." Sure enough, he sees that someone had broken the window to his car and stuffed another 5 trombones in there.

How many indie kids does it take to change a light bulb?
