WOT? NO PIPETTES?

Sorry for shouting. But I am FILLED WITH RAGE. Only possible explanation is that you have not heard it yet.

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

Dude, I've heard the Pipettes. Botherd.

This is probably because a) one of them works downstairs b) saw them once and wasn't impressed.

I quite like the new single (more than the last one), but I don't think it would make my top 100 of the half-year.

Hang on isn't that JT track off his album which was reeleased in 2002?!

[martinskidmore.livejournal.com]

Yes, you're right - I had thought that the version with Bubba was a new one, but checking back I have it completely wrong. Sorry.

I was about to say, if new Justin had emerged I would have expected a lot more FANFARE.

Apparently the poor boy has writer's block :( I can imagine the difficulty in trying to find a line to match "you're out of this world except you're not green"
