JUDGE POP vs THE PIPETTES

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

In the first of a rub new POPTIMISTS SERIES, Mega-City Pop's toughest JUDGE needs YOUR help to decide what sentence to pass on today's hot new "talents". First up are 'girl group' The Pipettes, who seem to divide Poptimists opinion, requiring arbitration from the unbending arm of THE LAW.

[Poll #759407]

So erm basically the poll is 'do you think the Pipettes are a good thing or a bad thing' and the comments box is where you suggest WHY.

I feel like they're these quite dull girls who've somehow been invited to a 50's theme party and have decided to dress up for it, and think it's quite cool, and they look great, but it's just a bit of fun, and they wouldn't normally dream of wearing any of this stuff, or listening to that sort of music, not really. They seem fake to me, and simply not very good. I could possibly forgive the falseness if they sang nice songs, but they don't.

Therefore you like the Long Blondes, who live their (her) image, apparenlty?

I actually think they are quite clever girls, who have decided to throw a 50s theme party, regardless of who comes. And they keep throwing it over and over, and more people keep coming. This cleverness is why they are ultimately indie.

I have not heard of the Long Blondes so can't really say.

Even newer that Pipettes - two or three singles but not even an album yet, I think. But I've seen them compared and constrasted in several places. Kind of doing the Kenickie thing, but from the perspective of 25 instead of 18. You can probably on myspace at /thelongblondes or somewhere like that.
