Latest Purchase....
After seeing Wiiiiiiilllllll whip his out last week (oooer, matron!) I had to get my hands on one (more tea, vicar!!) It was sold by a hospital in Woking for charity on eBay (and seems from pics to even be the same model) so......... I may only …

What are you listening to now?
The new Fuck Buttons album "Slow Focus" - it's all a bit epic!

After playing Drew on 6 Music this morning, Katie Puckrick confirmed again that she is indeed the owner of the "Tales Of Us" gloved hand!

The Goldfrapp Promo Video Compilation Hunt - Redux!
To be honest you've now put me off the idea entirely but I do appreciate you checking on the list - thorough work as ever! Just thought it might be a bit of fun but if it just got you hassle when you tried there's no real point in getting…

How do you feel today?
Annoyed. Sat in the cinema as neighbours noise so loud there was no way I could stand it much longer and didn't want to play the 'moaning neighbour' card. On the up side I had one free complimentary ticket to use so it's cost not…

It's weird - I started this thread but based on the MIF shows I might have to defect to a Laurel thread as that one has been an unexpected earworm today. Something about the cinematic menace in those string stabs!

Don't try and force rissoles through your headphones, Lindsay! All the best, of course.

Traveling probably didn't help, i always find it so bizarre that sitting on your arse whilst a bus/train/plane takes you somewhere can take so much energy out of you. I'm sure there's some complex scientific reason for it though. To…

As heard on 6 Music while in Manchester which was very apt as it was described as "like John Barry had just taken delivery of his first Moog" Daiquiri Fantomas - "Moogchile"

Tired, so very tired I-) I know exactly how you feel - the last couple of days and the heat have me pretty much knocked out currently. Physically tired as much as anything. Have nearly fallen asleep three times this afternoon which is very unusua…

Tales Of Us - 6th album - 09/09/2013
The one thing I'd noticed which is normally a good sign is that many people seem to have different favorites rather than one or two that everything goes straight for. We've all got albums with a couple of big singles and frankly nothing el…

The Goldfrapp Promo Video Compilation Hunt - Redux!
Cool - I've not even gone through my own stuff yet but just wanted to put the idea iet there while I thought of it. I think we should be able to do pretty well between us all!

The idea is that we build the best compilation we can between us and share the wealth. As nothing came through officially during the Singles era we can only assume it's not on their radar so we might as well get it done ourselves!

I watched all the vids that I could find : Annabel, Ulla, Simone, Stranger and Laurel. I'm kinda disappointed by Annabel to be honest, even if I know it's difficult to judge from those videos, and studio version may be different. Concernin…

I'm feeling a bit weird... Reversed homesick if that makes any sense? Absolutely - I'm going to walk out of my flat shortly and wonder why I can't see the Arndale Centre :D

We were having a laugh at this one, from the Mitre - post-gig.. over on Facebook... (un)suitable caption anyone? "If you saw what was on that phone screen you'd be surprised too......" :))

Juggling smoke, tisk I like that phrase - somebody else used "like herding cats" too when we going out for the day :D

A large picture but it needs to be that way as it's a 1920x1080 desktop wallpaper for those Mitre crew who'll miss the fish. You can now recreate it on your PC to relive the aquatic backdrop whenever you wish! :D

Three pics from the Wednesday night show where we tried to get as many of us together as we could. Due to people shifting around (it's like juggling smoke!) not everybody is on one pic! My phone was sadly soooo low on battery that it had disab…

I do wonder why she changed the name from the source material though, she kept Annabels name after all. Maybe one is about a specific and the other a situation based on a specific? Just a guess as have not got the lyrics yet.
