What`s the last film you watched ?
"Rush" was excellent. It straddled the tricky twin angle of "F1 nerdy goodness" and "Enjoyable regardless of F1" surprisingly well. I can just about recall that era of F1 (just - I was proper ickle) and it really captur…

Latest Purchase....
Some of the most ethereal, beautiful and haunting orchestrated music by Ulver........ .....and some 'ambient techno meets Japanese prog rock' to balance things out. So, so much amazing music out there this year!

How do you feel today?
Taking some 'me time' with the foot off the gas for a week or two. So stupidly busy at work (still learning my job, doing my job & helping mentor two new team members all at the same time!) that evenings are being allowed to become a…

What are you listening to now?
A build up longer than most full tracks then explosions of 808 & 303 designed to render the brain incapable of much else other than grinning & dancing. Beware of the lull - there's a second wave to come. Probably in my top three remixe…

The Sigs are right in the post. Prefer them to be in the seperate box. There's no way we can tweak things like sigs - really, as long as they work and people don't abuse them with ginormous images then they'll probably stay as they a…

Jimmy Fallon TV show - 26/27 Sep 2013
My TiVo box has a wish list for Goldfrapp, and has automatically scheduled a recording for Friday 27 Sept at 22:59 (UK time) Just spotted that in my wishlist with it's little star by it in the recordings list. Excellent stuff.

Still better than having them IN here posting. I just pick out the humans then nuke the rest in one go. Doesn't take very many clicks.

How do you feel today?
Still stupidly busy at work. Can't belienve I've been in this new job for 5 months now - completely ridiculous speed of time. It's lessened the amount of time I get to pop in here during the day but as I'm being paid to do these…

How did you get into Goldfrapp?
I love reading this thread. It's very easy to have your own route in to them and subconciously assume that's kinda where everybody else has their mindset built from too but there's a loooong time for people to have come on board and …

That was close - just saw 173 registrations waiting for authority, of which 172 were spambots. Highlighted them, wasn't concentrating while talking at work and almost pushed 'approve' rather than 'decline'. Might have been…

I've chomped 170 so far today alone but, happily, 1 real new human user was there too. Looks like we timed it perfectly at raising the gates - it could have been a real train crash!

fingers crossed it does the trick! [-O< There's bound to be evil anti-anti-spam tricks they'll try but let's hope along with you!

What`s the last film you watched ?
I cant stand motor racing,about as exciting as standing on a bridge over the motorway and watching the traffic go bye again and again and...... (you get the picture), but the new film "rush" was fantastic,fast paced,tense,exciting and act…

Right - it's done. The registration anti-spam measures have been kicked up a level and tested. In theory (yeah, yeah, I know!) no new spam bots should be able to join and post without us stopping them first. There may be dormant ones in th…

Maida Vale session - BBC 6Music - 15 Oct 2013
I know I'll not be able to make it due to work so I'm not tormenting myself about it. Much. At all. I expect you lot that get to be amongst the lucky few to do us proud.

A ridiculously disappointing bag of Cheese & Leek crisps from Boots. There's more flavour in the picture on the front of the bag than there is inside it..... :|

Happy Birthday Will Gregory (As per wiki Sept.17th)
I hope everybody (for it seems the world is having a birthday at the moment) had, is having or will have a great one. It's my dads one today so that's yet another, though he's obviously not in Goldfrapp :))

Thanks for diving in, HJ - was absolutely flat-out at work all day yesterday and then distracted in the evening. Have killed off another few this morning for breakfast. Spam never tastes good this time of day. As mentioned earlier, drop me a mess…

Wow, we got spammed
We *can* prevent spammers joining in the first place (or make it much less likely). This would make joining less enjoyable for the genuine fan. Following today's new spam tactics, maybe a clamp-down is now warranted. Yeah, I'm wondering i…

Just found out there's an EP of collaborations between Perc and Einstürzende Neubauten - well excited. Only samples so far but here's "Sado Masodub", one of the improvised re-works of the Neubauten's "Kollaps" Sta…

Home made Korean kimchee fried rice with extra egg, extra chilli and extra Gochujang. That little red tub of Gochuchang really is Korea's secret culinary weapon.

Good to hear it was as good as I hoped - I stuck a series link down for it on my Tivo.
