Just because I know that it will annoy Sara, I’d just like to say on my blog how cool it is that Mike is posting so freakin’ often on his blog. He’s the one that got me blogging in the first place, so it’s good to see him back in the regular rotation. His site has become my must visit for when I’m bored and need to waste some time doing something other than what I should be doing. Like, uh, posting on my blog. Dammit. I’m so behind in writing movie reviews, it’s not even funny. I wrote one yesterday and sweat so much that it didn’t pay to keep going. Stupid heat. Thankfully the heat wave dropped this evening. It was driving me nuts. Now I just have to grow some incentive to get all that work done. Yes, I know. Do a little at a time and soon it will all be done. Who wants to do that, though? Stupid responsible actions.

So I know what you’ve all been thinking: Why aren’t there more girl groups on pop radio anymore? Yeah, I was thinking that too. Which is why I am so pleased to tell you about The Pipettes. They’ve got that 50’s girl group sensibility with a modern punk aesthetic that you might find in the Ronettes. In one song they tell you that they know how hot they are. So there. Check out the video for their single, Pull Shapes, which is a total play off of the party sequence in Beyond the Valley of the Dolls.
