I was recording it so didn't dare stress my net connection until done! Editing down two versions - just the music and the whole segment. Links to follow once done.........

^ Yes, saw that. Mention of the tracks being performed too: They will be live on air at 8:35pm and will perform the two tracks 'Drew' and 'Annabel'. In an odd way I'm very happy it's the two known tracks - stops me spo…

Alison is "Queen Of Everything" in today's Stylist mag (09/05)
Epic fail :o3 I'm at home but the mag is still on my desk at work. That'll be something for you to look forward to tomorrow, then!

Not sure if this was something they only did on Jo's "Live lounge" series, but two previous Goldfrapp/LL shows featured never-heard-before cover versions ('Boys will be boys' in 2006 and 'Not over yet' in 2008). I…

The good thing is that it's on for ages so if heading over by train (like some of us may do) you can book far enough ahead to get super cheapo tickets.

@ping - hope you don't mind me modding your thread title so it's more obvious to peeps what this was for as they're having a browse :)

Nah, they probably don't allow cameras. {sorry, only thing I could think off}

Jerk chicken salad with black rice and pineapple. Bloomin' lovely!

Old (and rather glorious) Cabaret Voltaire stuff. Somehow this all sounds dated yet still completely fresh. Considering some of this is more than 30 years old now (!) that's quite a feat!

^ fancy another trip to Manchester?! I was just thinking a day trip might well be in order! Am I reading right that it's October 19th 2013 to March 2nd 2014? If so we have plenty of time to organise a pile of us happening to turn up at the …

Absolutely excellent to get a Trent & NIN thread. Favourite things of his/theirs for me are the Fixed EP and the released & unreleased mixes by Coil. Pretty much everything is at least good and at best amazing.

I suppose magazine are a dying thing. I just pick up THE FLY. Great for a free music mag. The Fly, NARC & Loud And Quiet are three regular grabs for me. Loads of places in Newcastle have them piled up each month.

Mute just retweeted a request for questions by the Radio 2 twitter and the Goldfrapp feed just did the same. So between Radio 2, Mute and Goldfrapp themselves that will have hopefully spread the word a bit further!

Couldn't agree more on all that. I do have a lot of time for The Wire as it happens to fit my wonky tastes but the rest do seem to be preaching to either the already converted or the frankly uninterested.

Cottage cheese, black barley and orange salad. No, wait, come back - it's much nicer than it sounds!!

Nowhere Boy soundtrack extract. Erm, not really worth it to be honest. I'm sure something else could have been featured like another live track,etc. Just my opinion of course before anyone goes off on one as I know it's a sin on here to ma…

Then again the NME is pretty much the smash hits of the 'twenty tens' now. I 'obtained' the last couple of digital issues of NME and they was only just worth the £0.00 they cost me. I understand entirely that I'm no long…

What is Moog though I want to say "a weird floating cartoon dog from Willo the Wisp" but that's so niche only about two people will get it. Ah, what the heck, I've said it now anyway!

Nine Inch Nails - Hesitation Marks High Resolution 24 bit 48k WAV at volume. Me too! (Minus the audiophile version part.) What do you think? I'm seeing them/him in October. My first time, but I've been listening since the very beginning.…

I'd also point out that the DVD was only ever originally listed as the 5.1 version(s) in the initial store run down. Nothing about there being any video on there at all. It's our expectations that the Manc gigs or the film or whatever woul…

People seem to be forgetting the vinyl, the normal cd, the 40 page book, the print etc. The bonus cd is only one part of the deluxe set and the dvd one other part. The cost is for all of it. Although the disc contents were not known we all knew the…

Goldfrapp in unexpected places..........
The intro of Simone just was used in a Dutch television program. Weird. Instrumental versions of Seventh Tree tracks were used in the week of its release here on Gardeners World. Seems they like to sneak things out when still pretty much unknown.

I presume the "Moog Remix" is Goldfrapp themselves?? Can't wait to hear both new manifestations!!! I must admit that I'm only assuming it'll be Will - just seems to make sense based on his love of them and the duo doing a l…

If I'm honest I'me not surprised that the full film isn't on the DVD - I imagined it might well be the 5.1 version of the album (something many people want for each release) and that is indeed what they've done. I'd imagine …
