industrial sized enjoyment

folks.
is it me - but the charts are full of miserable bands at the moment who need to cheer the fuck up.
where's the fun?
thankfully the ireallylovemusic inbox provided the necessaries today in full poptastic form to wipe away any such moodiness.
basically on 17th july 2006, the lovely memphis industries are releasing the long awaited album by the polka dotted mistresses of pop, 'the pipettes', 'we are the pipettes', 33 minutes. 14 tracks of pure 60's pop innocence, but with a devilish grin lurking beneath the shine. the album rattles along at a whip cracking speed, loves you and leaves you hangin on for more.
the perfect antidote to the glum that saturates the airwaves.
in the same package,  was the new one album by absentee, 'schmotime', which is far far better than i would have ever believed from the cd-r i received by them a long long time ago (pre-band setup), as well as forthcoming albums by black neon (ohhhh i like this, but i will save this for another day), and beach boys loving the russian futurists.
best label of the year (again) for me ?
quite possibly
