@BrightonHoveBus has the 7.08am 25 bus from Portslade to Sussex uni been cancelled? It wasn’t there this morning despite saying it was running on journey planner and the timetable?
Turned off a tragi-comedic SLUG gig recording from 2018.
Still remember after the gig the soundperson saying, "I added a few things"
Why? My heart sank.
The recording sounded like a dub gig. The Idiot put reverb and heavy delay on everything.
'Co-co-cockeyed Ra-Ra-Rabbit'
I Love You - Rosay This is a simple innocent song about the insecurities of first love, which I wrote for Joe (Pipettes drummer). I could never have predicted it being used as the theme tune for Katie Price’s reality TV show years later…

@ThePipettes Also remember 3 ladies (not the band) dressed up in polka dots and doing the pull shapes dance routine in a club in Osaka. Think it was at RokRok

We always loved Japan and even when the smoke signals from the label centrally were very much that we weren't going to be making a second record with them ('can you write with this song-writer, we don't hear a single' the usual)

Our American and global label secured a Japanese deal with a TV manufacturer to make a very extravagant video for this song, to basically show off the quality of the TV image.

"It Hurts to See You..."
Monster Bobby - For ages this song was only about a minute long. It ended after the 2nd chorus and that was always how we played it live for the first few years. The last bit was written halfway through recording the album.

Great story re. WATP and heat. We nearly died onstage at Summer Sonic in Japan, ending with this song. Its where we discovered Pocari Sweat and vodka! #timstwitterlisteningparty@ThePipettes
Radiohead from Glasto 97 is a real eye opener in terms of not having shit loads of lights and massive production. Some bands hide behind it. This is the real deal, within a month of them releasing the best album of all time. Festival sets don’t get better than this.
In December 2010, a friend of mine sent a music video of me and four of my best friends dancing in multicoloured pyjamas in front of a green screen to Steve Ramsay from @younggalaxy. I recorded the music on GarageBand using the keyboard as a piano since I didn’t have instruments
It’s soon 15 years since the release of We Are the Pipettes and @memphisind are working on something to celebrate. If you have photos, flyers, ticket stubs or other memorabilia that you’d be happy to allow them to use, send images (ideally 300 dpi) to info@memphis-industries.com
@NOWTV Couldn’t log in Friday, nor today and eventually been informed the account was blocked but nothing could be done for 24 hours. Have missed 3 days of football. Very unhappy @nowtv
