Brought to you by the letter P.

Upon first listen of The Passionistas, I was reminded of a band I used to love in the mid 90s... The Sugarplastic. It's not exactly the same, but it's that same style of quirky, fun indie-rock that you can't help but sing along to. I especially love the opening line of Y2K, "Why do we have to die 'cause someone missed a zero?" It's 2 minutes or less of absurd enjoyment per song, and how can you not love that?

Wild West
Y2K
The Socialists

The Sugarplastic - Don't Sleep



The Pipettes are a band that I don't exactly love, but can't get out of my head. "Your Kisses.." has been on repeat in my head (and iPod) for the past week, but after listening to the rest of the album... I can't really back it 100%. It's cute, they're adorable, but it just doesn't feel consistently good. But I'm not denying that it's fun, and I'm not saying they're bad. It's just that some of the songs are a little too kitschy for my taste. I will, however, admit that these two tracks are great.
