The Pipettes

Hype

The Pipettes break up! The Pipettes are reborn?

Best of 2007: imaginary Dana's picks

I have so many favorites for 2007 that narrowing the lists was tricky. Plus I'm preggo as a house and have NO memory at this point, so I'm sure I've inadvertently omitted some really great releases and songs. Forgive me and my wacked out hormones.

But that said, here are some Top of 2007 lists from me, to you. Feel free to leave comments both nasty and supportive. I likely deserve both for some of my erratic tastes.

The official results of the TIG Best NW Releases of 2007 Readers' Poll are coming VERY soon... stay tuned! In the meantime, some of my personal picks for a wonderful year in music past:

Favorite Releases of 2007:

  1. Amy Winehouse Back to Black
  2. Okkervil River The Stage Names
  3. Tullycraft Every Scene Needs a Center
  4. Beirut The Flying Cup Club
  5. The Scotland Yard Gospel Choir The Scotland Yard Gospel Choir
  6. Shake Some Action Shake Some Action
  7. Math & Physics Club Baby I'm Yours
  8. John Vanderslice Emerald City
  9. The Cave Singers Invitation Songs
  10. The Fratellis Costello Music

It's Pipettes Day! Gwenno, RiotBecki, and Rosay teach us how to dance

Amy Winehouse threatens crowd and the Pipettes almost catch fire!

Back stateside, the much less controversial Pipettes seem to be much hotter than Amy lately -- hot enough to set a monitor on fire onstage!

The Pipettes tour delay thanks to issues with US visa - conspiracy? I suspect yes.

I've lost track now of just how many indie-bands have had to cancel or post their US-tours because of Visa issues, and as of this morning, we can add The Pipettes to that staggering list

The first thing anyone notices when watching the Pipettes is that they are stunning. That grasps your attention but their voices captivate and hold you through a likeable stage presence and some of the most ridiculously catchy pop songs in recent years.
