Considering how great some of the suggestions are I'd be amazed if more than one of us didn't get some success at getting things played. Bring on 6pm!

Tales Of Us - 6th album - 09/09/2013
I ordered the CD and deluxe from the Frapp shop but will head out in a weeks time to snare the vinyl. I want to buy something from a real shop on release day - it's part of the fun.

I notice that video has been set to private now. Yeah - looks like they jumped the gun sticking it online. It'll be back, I'm guessing once the Rolling Stone review is out - they often have embargos on being first to print/screen, even t…

Listening to Katie Fucking Pukik on 6Music wanting to punch myself in the ears , she`s still as shit as she was when she was on "The Word" . Isn't personal taste a bizarre thing - I *love* her 6 Music stints at the moment. Some great…

How do you feel today?
Tetchy >:P Anything kicked that off or just one of those days that naturally starts that way? Me? Full of drive to do nothing quickly.

I'm wondering if that's not meant to be shown yet? Alison just asked me where I'd seen the quote etc so it may be they've jumped the gun sticking it online?

One of my favourite tracks of the year from one of my favourite albums of the year.

Thank you!! I always love me some camera nerd talk. I notice it's a Red Epic - I wonder if it was shot in the full 5K? Mmmmmmm, Goldfrapp in IMAX-ready resolution! @-)

I MIGHT go for Let England Shake by PJ Harvey. Two reasons for me is that I think its the best "anti-war" album made in recent years and is more than relevant with things going on in the World at the moment. Secondly, would just be good to…

I don't think this has been spotted yet (it's a busy board!) but there's a comment about the technical side of the Drew video from Brian Strange on Vimeo in reply to a comment about the style of the video. Music Video for Goldfrapp&#…

As quotes go that's a pretty unequivocal one from Rolling Stone. Blimey! =D>

Yeah, I guess it all depends on the volume of them - if it picks up then we'll have to emply our digital doorman as discussed. {crosses fingers but knows they'll probably keep on coming through} If you are talking about those "bo…

We have been deleting users - permanently. The spam engines seem to churn out new users/names though. Id hoped our prompt chomping might make them give up on this forum.... Yeah, I guess it all depends on the volume of them - if it picks up then we…

As a 140 word review I rather like that , I like "reminds me of"s as comparators (as opposed to them being used as knife-in-the-back targets) without pretentious overtones (..ahem Q) . Yeah, and also relating it to a seasonal mood too - …

yay for Carpy! is there any rule against removing persistent offenders profiles from the forum? When the spam goes, they go with it. Posts, profiles and all. Chomped to the bone. (yes, I realised spam doesn't have bones - it was probably …

I've been enjoying Katie's weekend 6 Music shows anyway so that's an added bonus!

It's not a long review by any means at all - just a tweet, in fact - but when it's by TheQuietus who I value for their judgement in many musical avenues I've very happy to pass it on:- theQuietus ‏@theQuietus (3h): The new Goldfrapp …

Drinking an extraordinary Amoretto fruit infusion from Whittards Of Chelsea that tastes exactly like liquid Bakewell Tart in a cup. It's like witchcraft!

New bands will always sound fresh and new because no one knows their history. They will always have that advantage where older bands don't and reviewers will have pre-conceived ideas what they are about. What a cracking point, well made.

I appreciate how eclectic your tastes are Carp. I thank/blame John Peel. I think a lot of people of a certain age that hit his shows at an impressionable musical juncture got the voracious bug to try anything & everything musically, irrespec…

Yes, interesting. I was gonna suggest something that might have been a source of inspiration for them, but it looks like it's ours they want. :)Not much room on twitter for background, anecdotes etc, so... brevity is in order! I sent mine as …

oh. lovely. Works for me - that run of solos that kick in after about 2:20 are just so, so good.

The TOU trailer isn't the only musical teaser on the go that's got me stupidly excited for the next few weeks, thus:- Yep, it's a grand return of one of the absolute legends of Grindcore - Carcass! It's probably the antithesis…

And yet again another reviewer makes the mistake that Will does the music and Alison is only there for the vocals..... That pees us off so I can only begin to imagine how A&W must feel when it comes round yet again. It's not like that qu…
