Goldfrapp Collections (you know you have them ;) )
In the last few days I've bought a magazine promo cd from Mexico and a Charmed soundtrack cd just because they were cheap & quirky things to add to the Goldfrapp collection. Always something out there to add to one of the boxes :D

but if there's a sticker on the cellophane i'll cut around the sticker or if possible peel it off and stick it inside the box somewhere. That's my level of OCD, i don't mind taking the cellophane wrapper off but i won't thro…

Sometimes focussing on the least sensible things is the only way make space for the important ones. That seems to be what gets me through most days, so I can relate entirely. It's like never having to think about breathing out at the mome…

What are you listening to now?
Model 500 - Deep Space The Flow Oh, excellent stuff - Juan Atkins! If it hadn't been for him, Derrick May and Kevin Saunderson then I wonder how techno would have turned out being led only from the German side?

The sine wave is flattening a bit so feeling a bit more able to think. As I've mentioned before, please don;t take my lack of a comment to other posts in this thread as me not caring but sometimes I have to draw back a little & ride things…

Levelling off. This, for me at the moment, is A Good Thing.

Finally got chance to listen to the first three releases in Demdike Stare's "Testpressing" series, #001 to #003 All three, it seems, are stunning! I'd heard the drop on "Dyslogy" was something special but blimey, tha…

Great stuff, Marc & HJ - there's a few obvious things we can probably pull together over the next 24 hours. If we start with a small list of main things that should have most impact for least effort - the 80/20 rule in full force! I'l…

Vent against SPAM here!
You should see a spam-chomping improvment going forward. There may be occasions when the odd bit of spam lingers for a few hours but a) it will vanish soon as we see it and b) you'll see repeat offenders not cause issues any more. Just give us…

Is there really a radio edit of Drew?
The interesting thing, HorseTearz, is that some of the UK stations (ie the ever wonderful BBC 6 Music) have actually been playing the full version of Drew, even though the Radio Edit does indeed exist. Which one gets played, if at all, seems to be …

Part of me really wants to but the other part of me is worried in case he confirms anything. I should, I know, but that doesn;t make it any easier to bite the bullet and do so.

Currently rolling between some horrible lows and some of the most manic rushes I've had in ages, sometimes in the same day/morning/afternoon. The last manic rush saw me out shopping and buying 17 blu-rays and 9 dvds. Hoping that posting this a…

BTW, did you see Marc's 'Help' thread? I'm not reading any threads, to be honest - I'm taking a break from things pretty much. Just came back to help clear up and act as liaison for Adam.

I've also re-asked that of Adam @ FM - has to be the better option!

I've logged in and cleared the ones I could see but ridiculously busy at work and if I get caught on here I'll be in the deep & smelly today. Have had an email from Adam @ Fascination so giving him a list of the main repeat-offenders …

I'd also like to clarify that my post wasn't having a pop at individual users on here but, in my case, it's down to such stupidly low self esteem and confidence at the moment that I'd be thinking that even on a perfectly happy cl…

Currently having a bit of a dip. Confidence & self esteem feeling a bit shot for no real reason. Have gone to post about a dozen different posts on here and either deleted or abandoned them due to second-guessing myself or imagining what others …

In my email I put two thoughts to them - one to shore up the boards anti-spam mechanisms in the first place if possible or, if not able to do that immediately (the spam thing is an arms race of change and counter-change after all) then maybe HJ &…

I took time out from work earlier to clear the backlog. I've dropped a proper email to two of our contacts at Fascination. There's an out of office message from one (back on Monday) and I'm waiting to hear from the other. They were s…

Heard the latter end of it and will cap it once up on iPlayer etc but really can't get on with Whiley's style - interviews with her always sound rushed and like she'd rather be doing something else?

I honestly don't mind either way, HJ. Are we giving people chance to buy the mag first or do we think that anybody that was going to buy it will buy it anyway regardless? That's probably the case, I'd wager. It might even sell mor…

What`s the last film you watched ?
Wow. The local (voted best in the country) indie cinema, The Tyneside, has two crackers lined up for the next couple of weeks. They've got the new Goro Miyazaki directed Studio Ghibli "From Up On Poppy hill" (Kokuriko-zaka kara) AND …

Great article. I like their assessment of Will's role in the album, how his unique talent has been allowed to shine on TOU. Yeah, any reviewer that can mention his "Piccard In Space" work and show that it's not just a throwaway…

^ If that is true Carpy, it seems a large price to pay for the album leaking (which i think, whatever they did over this period of time, WAS inevitable). I'm not saying my thoughts were true, just that they were my thoughts :D
