What we say

Rating: ecstatic This record left our Phil feeling ecstatic.

Peggy Sue & The Pirates... new 7" called Television.... These remind me of Nouvelle Vague crossed with Billie Holiday and maybe a bit of some of the anti folk gear shoved in for good luck. Skiffle drums, double bass and some incredible female vocals all meld together to make a cracking little 7". Mingus reckons it' a bit like a more punky Hanne Hukkelberg.... I can hear bits of Cocorosie in there 'n all. A great little 7"!

What the label says:

Peggy Sue and The Pirates is the lo-fi duo made up of friends Rosa and Katy from Brighton. Armed with beautiful harmonies, a selection of 'doo-be-doos' and an armful of bass lines, the girls began gigging in Brighton supporting the likes of The Gossip, Joan as Police Woman, The Maccabees, Jack Penate and becoming friends with the emerging Kate Nash. The two velvety-voiced ladies' fluffy vocal harmonies, accompanied only by an acoustic guitar and sounding something like the Moldy Peaches if they had grown up dancing to Sleater Kinney and learnt to sing listening to Billie Holiday - think CocoRosie, but with more punky guts. 'Television' is an extremely catchy, yet aggressive little ditty, proclaiming sweetly that "television is a beautiful distraction".

About the humble 7":

The humble 7" is the smallest of the vinyl formats (not including the ridiculous 5") and it's the perfect medium for transporting a couple of new songs by up and coming bands straight into your ears. They're fun and they take up less space in your house than something bigger would. They come in a plethora of exciting colours and fantastical packages, and you can fit about 14 minutes onto one 7". You may have to get up every few minutes to put a new record on but think of the exercise. Don't forget every record you buy plays at least 2 speeds (depending on your stereo) and you need to play all records on all speeds to get the maximum joy from your purchase.

'does that came with pineapple and egg or do I have to choose one of them?'
