Television....
I'd like to publicly congratulate my Virgin TIVO box for spotting & recording the Horizon doc on black holes that I completely forgot about. That it did so without asking and got it so right still makes me feel all sci-fi. =D>

I need a hug..
Hugs are good. People underestimate the good a well timed one can do.

What are you listening to now?
Trust me, it sounds great. Somehow I got the urge to play some music from acts that just do as they bloody well please ;) What a crazy idea! :D To be honest, I never need an excuse or reason to play The Gathering :)

The Gathering - Disclosure I've still not heard my Afterlights 10'' EP that I got in the box set of Disclosure as I have no vinyl deck. They're supposedly putting it out as a CD/download with some more new tracks added to it. …

and we all know that love is blind, and apparantly a little bit deaf! I just spat my green tea out with laughing. Classic! =))

But you weren't, and people missed you. One of the truest things in this thread :)

If they're suddenly going to be accoustic, then it is neither a direction I particularly want to follow, but it is also not a genre I think they'll be able to be as unique in as if they would have continued with their take on electronic mu…

I was wondering whether Goldfrapp can still be considered an electronic band? Now? Probably not. This is the thing about music. I loved Grimes so much and had the same semi-revelation as you when I heard her for the first time. I still like her w…

Looking at the posts of yours, Stranger, I think I'll back off this thread for now. I don't have the references, quotes, stats and such you do and all I have is my own personal experience. That's probably not going to be as useful t…

It's the web: surely everyone is hiding behind usernames and pictures? Do people really know exactly who they are talking to? The reason Mirror refers to itself in the way it does is because there might well be more than one of us.Most of us, a…

That last point is sadly entirely the problem holding progress back. What's the stat? 1 in 3 people affected at some time in their life? Still, somehow, it's such a hard subject to broach for fear of the reaction you may get lest people …

Wowhee, this thread moves quicker than..well, something that moves very fast! Anyway, maybe everyone is just getting too caught up in the actual "style" of the guy?I think he is genuinely trying to discuss things, and actually, there isn&#…

What Are You Eating?
It was thicker that a normal Milky Way, creamy and covered in cheap but dark choc. It's different but not in a 'must have one again tomorrow' kind of way.

I applaud those in the thread already, both with their honesty and their help. As much as I understand where I'm at, it's still sometimes tough to get the words down At some point I'll join you but wanted to just acknowledge the thre…

See, you can discuss things in a reasonable depth, after all. A personal thank you to Border_Mind and Lisa for getting things started where Mirror couldn’t. It appears the use of lyrics went over many a “Frappers” head, although best to consider t…

What`s the last film you watched ?
Are you familiar with Mamoru Hosoda? He did The Girl Who Leapt Through Time and Summer Wars. Love those movies! I've been meaning to watch Girl Who Leapt Through Time for a while and I've now heard it mentioned twice in last couple of d…

Carpy you're a legend. Tell me you work in mediation or some such insightful, explanatory, calming role! I'm on a service desk so get to speak to a lot of people a lot of the time. I like people & proper conversation and just ho…

Hey there, Lisa. I'm late to the Polar Posting Party due to silly things like work (yeah, I know!) but just wanted to drop a thought in before I go and make some Miso. I think, as others have said already, it wasn't the thoughts of the p…

I have been busier than the busiest bee ever, tonight. Can someone summarise, in a few words, what this is all about, please? Ta! :) Troll who has some sort of axe to grind about either the band or their music came here to try and wind people up. …

What little writing there is on this is as much a seal of quality as anything else.

Leave your 'GOOD NIGHT' messages here
Night all. It was good that when we got a mirror held up tonight we saw that sometimes we pull apart on here but sometimes, and often, we pull together despite it all. Some may see it as a fault but me? I hope it stays just as it is.

you see in the end, Love conquers all. secretly I really wish its Corvina No, she would have had the heart and respect to not hide behind another name. That was one of the things I loved about her so much.

one thing that made me laugh about one of Mirror's posts was "...will it be as good as Grimes" Grimes is a bit shit. IMO. So I hope it's fucking better. Grimes is great - I got a bonus laugh from your laugh. Seems Mirror is…

It's funny, really. I have an awful lot more respect & love for the people who decide that they won't come here any more due to deciding they don't like a direction Goldfrapp have taken than I do for somebody turning up out of th…

Mirror does not comment on the quality - but only worries over the level of one-sided uniform approval of anything the band will do in future. I disliked a large part of Head First but thought the other half was ok. I've said so a number of ti…

Mirror is a little disappointed, where are all it's like-minded voices?Jaxsbudgie, Corvina, Sartori, Shamie, even the old Carpathian who was up for constructive dialogue? The irony of the end of that post in the light of your entrance & e…

Mirrors, if you'd like to have a discussion about Goldfrapp and Tales of Us, go right ahead! Don't just threadshit. :) I get the impression that is very unlikely to happen while they can hide behind third-person snipes. I'd have…

The Mirror has been around for a very long time.And? Auditioning for the Antiques Roadshow or something?
