So, the other day I e-mailed Abstract Entertainment show promoter Brian McKenna, asking him for contact info on the Pipettes.

"Let me try to be the kiss of death on the Pipettes," I wrote - a joking reference to how my love for the now-cancelled Jenny Owen Youngs show had apparently killed it dead.

Well, guess who just got a phone call saying that, yes, the Pipettes have cancelled their Oct. 28 show. Reason: They're going to shoot a video that day instead.

"Guess that (kiss of death) worked," McKenna says in his voicemail.

Wow, I'm two for two - who wants to be next? C'mon, bring it.

Oh yeah, and if you've already purchased Pipettes tix, you know the drill: Refunds are available at place of purchase.
