quoteAPHNE & CELESTE, who were dropped by their record company UNIVERSAL in January this year, are planning a comeback for next year, NME.COM can reveal.

The teen duo have been writing new material for a single that will "probably" be released in the UK in April 2002, according to a spokesman for the band.

ONLY NICE THINGS

I adore Daphne and Celeste, for many different reasons. Because they are the good Shampoo. Because U-G-L-Y is a pop masterpiece, and quite clearly lifted from a Fishbone song. Because they narrate a world of childhood savagery and terrible purity. And, pehaps most important of all, because one fo them says "Up your butt with a coconut" on the extended remix.

D & C are definitely cool. Although not quite as good as Aqua. For some reason I find Aqua incredibly poignant.

Come off it, Daphne & Celeste kick Aqua's ass!

I sincerely like them too.

I could scarcely believe how brilliant their cover of 'School's Out' was..

What the hell is the matter with the public when ultra-bland hustlers like Atomic Kitten get no.1 hits, and D & C get fucking dropped!?

What's the matter with you, you fucks, THIS IS PROPER FUCKING POP MUSIC!

BUY IT!

They got dropped because they did not sell any records. Eight year olds know nothing of life, it's purity or it's savagery. If the only people who like their songs are bitter old fuckers like us - they failed the pop and deserved to get the bullet.

On the contrary - D & C knew more about life than I ever will.

They should sign to Constellation and record in the Hotel 2 Tango. With harp and triangle. And feedback. It would rock. They could cover Destroy 2000 Years of Culture. This would be best for everyone.

Daphne and Celeste need a new deal. Is there any way we can help them out?

If not, do something unpleasant to yourself right now.

thankfully, i was in the us when they played reading and got pelted with bottles of piss. the whole idea of it happening enrages me.
these idiots who hate d and c were probably all limp bizkit fans, who are just as pop as d and c, probably more so, because pop means popular.
fume.
