Oh, and I got a kiss from him at a gig a few years ago. It's a long story! :D

Julian Cope- 20 Mothers first time I have heard and it DOES indeed sound like a great album, as I had been told. I have a very long way to go with getting anything like a Julian Cope collection together, I have about 7 albums including Teardrop Exp…

Goldfrapp scans & photos
I may not be new but I have never seen this. I think I may vomit. In a good way. Alison literally has the best legs I have ever seen. When/where is this from? It was for Maison Martin Margiela's AIDS T-shirt line and taken by Christi…

t I'm doing charity work for the foodbank (not sure it's the proper English word for that) that distributes food to the needy. Exactly the right phrase and a very good thing to do :)

Charity Shop addict? Guilty as charged your honor. I bought a Julian Cope CD today '20 Mothers', quite pricey compared to others I come across £3. Brilliant Cope album - what a great find. Got a BBC Radiophonic Workshop CD featuring s…

RIP GMB 2002 ~ 2013
Just made a final visit over to "The Old Place" to wave it farewell. Shamelessly posted a few times to round my account off at a round & exact 24,000 posts @-) Not sure if I should be proud or ashamed of that! :D I`m 42 shy of 3000…

It's a shame if anybody has to stop doing what they love to. You had put a lot of time in the site for sure. I would say, for balance, that the site & twitter were very, very similar looking to the official ones and I know if you read some…

@Mirror I was really starting to enjoy this thread. I was interested in trying to understand you & the points you were trying to make. I found some of the areas it was going to be something well worth sticking with. I agree with you that the pla…

RAAAAAAANTTTTTT!!!!
I can. It's the reason I won't be around here until well after a few months. Someone here is a very clever manipulative liar and I walked straight into the oldfrapp trap. The very reason I left earlier. I don't know why I ever came ba…

Why the politeness Carpy? Because that is always the main way I prefer to do things. That's not about Mirror or here but in general. Just my way. @Mirror At least you tried it. We don't agree but that's fine. There's a lesson …

@mirror Can I ask a polite favour, please? Any chance you could edit your original post and alter the forum area on the right to "Anything & Everything" which is the area for things Goldfrapp related overall? I'm not asking you …

Tales Of Us - 6th album - 09/09/2013
No, there is another thread that i would certainly not call news that happens to be the very first news item people visiting the forum see. That pisses me off. Sorry, but it does. If it's the one I think you mean then as soon as one of us …

My fault, read the page before. I was listing whats been registered on ASCAP since The Singles release, Va Va Voom is one of those things. Ah, makes sense then. I was rather puzzled!

I'm just gonna be keep thread bumping actual band related news items until someone clears the spam. Am I missing something? There's only two spam threads - 'natural woman' & 'scrap metal' ?

@Mirror I assume you checked out the Holly Herndon album I recommended too, or did you miss that out because I lauded it over Grimes? Just checking........you might like it more too, who knows?

Frappipedia - A List of Alison's Collaborations & Solo Work
The thing I should point out for any newbies to this list is that many of them contain some fan-bloomin-tastic Alison performances which I'd rate as must hear for fans of her voice. If people want four as starting point examples then go for:- …

Frappipedia - A List of Alison's Collaborations & Solo Work
That's an awesome list. Thanks @The_Carpathian. I have to go search the Net now. I have the original CD's for all but a couple - it took a looooong time to track some of them down!

Frappipedia - A List of Alison's Collaborations & Solo Work
Carp: how many of the collaborations have Alison ONLY on vocals? A very high percentage of them - most, really. I'm sat at work so not going to count them out exactly! Only really some of the remixes for other people where there's shared…

NB - yet to add a couple of things and confirmation of [26] on the Orbital list was never found one way or the other. That's my disclaimers out of the way!

How did you get into Goldfrapp?
I'm from the same history as Dreeke on this one. Absolutely adored Alison's voice well before Goldfrapp due to her becoming "Auntie" to Orbital's "Snivilisation" album in 1994. Was already an Orbital fan at that p…

What`s the last film you watched ?
I finally saw I'm A Cyborg And That's OK. But I must say it's one of Park's weakerst movies if I may say so myself. I absolutely adored it. I find it gets better with repeated viewings too.

Good point. You've seen the Ziggo live recordings btw? Yeah, I love how together the band seem :)
