Recent and upcoming gigs
Last day of Best Kept Secret was very good gain. Very good shows by Autre Ne Veut, Local Natives and Everything Everything. Amazing shows by SUUNS and Sigur Rós. But the absolute highlight was the superb Portishead gig. Sounds like an amazing few d…

What`s the last film you watched ?
Limitless is on in a bit on Film4 HD. Haven't seen it before and would really like it to be good based on the idea. Why do I get the feeling I'm liable to be let down!

Don't get me wrong, Alan, I've seen the fun in the Apple launches and they do indeed seem a good laugh but I guess I'm just surprised you, of all people, would even dream of skipping a show for one. Especially as they don't tour …

Hope it will not fall on iPhone 5S release 'cause I'll have to choose the latter, unfortunately. You'd choose buying a phone that you could buy any time later over seeing Goldfrapp on tour that you'd otherwise miss? Really?

Siouxsie Sioux!!!!!
New Siouxsie? Old Siouxsie? Forthcoming Siouxsie? It's all Siouxsie and that's the important bit. Excuse me while I go and have a swoon for a while :)

Who should remix the first single 'Drew'?
Again, remixes is not all about dancing. I would assume that the ones you'd prefer are all about that, though?

#17 here. I had an earlier one still but that was when some of us snook in a day or two early and they got deleted :D

Please recommend me some electronic bands.
Old school , with added `quirkiness` as a pre-requisite First two albums from the Human League (before they employed the two tone deaf girls) - `Reproduction` & `Travelogue`League Unlimited Orchestra - Love and Dancing (a dance remix of the Huma…

Just watched that vid and fell in love with the DMG* a little all over again. So easy to forget. {sigh} :x (* there's a memory tester for you from the old board!)

Latest Purchase....
Another Bowie book, this time "David Bowie Style" by Danny Lewis. Just lots of pictures of the various Bowie eras & outfits but semi-cheap and some grea shots so I was hooked in!

How do you feel today?
Happy as no work today, ecstatic still from Bristol of course. No lie in today as was up bright and earlyish to venture into the twilight zone, sorry town centre. Only downside is my left hoof is hurting this morning :( Stamping along with the mu…

Premiere of 'Tales of us' at Manchester Int Festival, July 17/18 2013
Glad you understand, chokka. Cheers. I felt kinda bad posting the above as I should have felt more frustrated at missing it but instead it just made me want Manchester even more. No pressure on them for those two nights, eh? :D

I thought I'd feel awful at missing last night's Bristol show but I think my GoldfrappBrain is firmly tuned to new material more than I realised. All I could think during last night was a) So glad it's gone off so well tonight and b)…

Aww look at them, like old times :) Thanks for the pic's. Even at that blurry range it does look like a hark back to the lovely elegant early days. This is A Very Good Thing.

A cracking version of Requiem's Lacrimosa - Karl Böhm & Sinfónica de Viena. Must look out for the full version of this.

Try the Adagio to the Serenade in B-flat for 13 winds. It's unlike anything else Mozart has ever done. I Really rather nice. Very subtle builds, especially the mid section when it keeps falling away before lifting fully. It's......elega…

Great to see You Never Know & Shiny & Warm (both cracking live) AND it's a big hitting 1-2 knockout punch to finish. If you add in a possible extended Little Bird it should be quite some fun!
