Anyone who has ever ordered anything from the internet knows how much of a rip off postage is, and its alway a mystery until you reach the checkouts. I was thinking how much I was going to save by buying from the internet, and its even with the conversion rate. I was thinking "I'm a guinness!" That was until I made it to the checkout and saw the postage. And what really pisses me off is the international postage. Its as bad as the mystery tax that appears at the checkouts in those North American countries. You think its cheap…

This might be the act or babbling of an anorak but I just bought the American version of “We Are The Pipettes” and I’m starting to listen to the record all over again, like mad listenings on, my mp3 player, in the car, around the house etc. The mix is clean, polished and changes here and there make it sound like a new record compared to the UK one.
Now I just have to find and buy all the singles with all the rare B-sides.

Introduction
I was upset, no, maybe not upset, upset is too strong a word to use, but it definitely wasn’t a feeling of indifference when I heard that RiotBecki and Rosay left The Pipettes. Maybe because I love doo wop pop, cause its punk and cell phones aren’t! Anyways, once again it’s again it’s left me thinking; what’s worse? The end of an entire band or have members leave and be replaced? Like The Pipettes is already starting to look like the UK Subs which is like many black metal bands, a rotating rolodex of members.

I grew up watching all the big 80s and 90s action flicks, I especially enjoyed the ones with high body counts and baddies becoming fodder, chewed up and spat out of the action hero war machine or buddy cop combos (“Go Ivan Danko!”). The only action flicks I didn’t like were the Steven Seagal ones, (only exception being the first Under Siege because of Gary Busey.) As for music? Not a lot spoke to me on a personal level but punk rock did and most of its mutated offspring (Black Metal included). So if a…

I listen to Hot Water Music at least once a day. Probably because I have so much free time, but that won't last.
This band has kept me going through some shitty times in my life (like High School). I've brushed them off and kept on going, the Hot Water Music way; "live your hear and never follow."
I can't wait for those reuion tours shows to come to Australia, I'll be singing my heart out like everyone else in the room with raised fists.
I find it amusing when people say that they dislike this band because of the…
