Download of the Day: The Carrots 'Ladies of Givens'

Over the last months a whole host of my friends have been urging me to listen to the Pipettes. They would ask me tentatively, "By the way, have you heard that Pipettes album?". Sure enough, I simply found there was something unsatisfying about this group. Granted, 'Pull Shapes' is an excellent dancefloor number, but otherwise I failed to see the attraction to this girl group, they seemed cliched, something just did not add up for me, above all, they seemed superficial. Then I heard The Carrots from Austin, Texas and suddenly I feel justified in my coldness towards the Pipettes.

The Carrots: Rock n' roll vegetables!
