Exciting and sexy (possibly) Autumn Tour 2013 :oD
I'd love them to do The Sage in Gateshead as they did on the 7T tour. God, the acoustics in there were wonderful (and Alison said 'thank you Scotland!" at the end) :))

Premiere of 'Tales of us' at Manchester Int Festival, July 17/18 2013
Meet ups before hand if we can, would also be fairly fantastic. Absolutely. There must be a sweet-spot between those going for night 1, those doing night 2 and those doing both where the most of us will be around. We really need to try and all mee…

How do you feel today?
Peed off. A workman I had around doing some odd jobs slipped and grabbed the cooker hood - which fell off the wall and smashed my electric (glass-top) hob. :( Think it was about £100.Although.. I then got a call from the scaffolder, who said he wa…

Have to agree again with HJ - I'm using Opera on my Android S4 and the mobile mode this place becomes is far better than expected. Only downside is the issue with the confirmation message not going away but I'm sure that's being worke…

She's away on her hollibobs for her mother's birthday and has a bad signal. Promises to get herself on here soon as she returns =D>

Tales Of Us - 6th album - 09/09/2013
I think the way it was put on the interview said it well. It's an album, rather than just a collection of tracks. It's all tied together with the art, movies, lyrics etc into one thing. I guess the concept thing is true in many ways.

She's not tweeted for a few days - hope Belfast didn't finish her off! Just dropped her a prod-filled tweet to try and get her over here.

A thank you for Carpy.... Oh my. She's very much at home in this thread. Loved her era of Avenging....

Television....
The only new show I've gotten into lately is Hannibal, damn good stuff! Excellent, isn't it! Eddie Izzard and Gillian Anderson yet to appear in that too. Should be rather good!

DELUXE BOX - Updates & information
That's just as good, wouldn't mind framing that either! Maybe we should get some clarification for the die-hard collectors? ;) There will be teasers and updates on the progress of The Box over the coming months..........

DELUXE BOX - Updates & information
Yay, i'm getting the box set as a birthday gift! Can't beat that. I hope the order went thru in the first 500, you know, to get a signed one. Remember how jacked up we all got about The Singles deluxe box set that never materialized!? This…

Well I just ordered and got an order number of 550. Fingers crossed but not looking hopeful! See my post above - you're fine!

I'm still Pooka. A big hi to Carpathian :-) So nice to see you around - very glad you could make it to the rather mad (and somewhat unexpected!) party :)

What are you listening to now?
marnie - crystal world (first listen no comment!) :) All I'd like to know is how the rest of the album stacks up against the rather good but quite Ladytron first single, The Hunter. That'll give me a yardstick to work from!

Hidden things 2013......
@softlad nope, nothing. How hard do I have to rub? Just hard enough for it to pop up. admin - is there a smut-block option? I feel a bit flustered. A smut-block option? On here?! You'd have an empty board! :D

DELUXE BOX UPDATE AS AT 12:15 12/06 Just spoke to Sandbag and here are things as they stand. There are currently 440 orders in for the Deluxe box set, obviously give or take a handful in people's baskets live at this time. They may put a mess…

The best thing, i reckon, about the new forum- is that it has both a 'desktop' and a 'mobile' mode. Massive thumbs-up to management for providing that functionality. :) Yeah, I noticed that - it has a different single slim-scree…

To avoid any confusion I'll give them a call at lunchtime and find out one way or the other, maybe even suggesting they put a message on once the first 500 have gone?

Head First is a great album; it just doesn't quite fit into the continuum of what we consider the Goldfrapp opera. Perhaps, it should have been released as an Alison Goldfrapp solo album. .....or as a Scissor Sisters side project? >:) :…

Latest Purchase....
On the way to work I'll be grabbing some Sinex - I'm all a bit 'course you can, Malcolm' I do realise that'll make no sense at all to many people and make others feel very old.

For the bonus CD i'm hoping mainly for extra tracks (maybe Ask The Lake that was gonna be in that Singles boxset plus some other new ones), perhaps some demos would be nice but not limited to this album, some demos from all their albums, and ma…

I'd also have a pretext for throwing my grundies on stage which would be nice for once and might not involve the Police. :-L You threw your grundies at Sumner and co? Eeewwww.

I love the fact that once an album is released it becomes something different to everyone. A great point. Always fascinating, especially that the same person and the same album can dance different relationships over time too without a note of the …

Bear in mind that may be the order number at the store in general, not just the Deluxe sets. Might be 200 box sets, 200 cds and 99 downloads? With all due respect I seriously doubt that. You think folks have just dived in feet first and gone …

It must be a real nervous moment when the button gets pushed to launch the trailer & site public. So glad she's loving the rightful happiness so far :)
