Other gigs sporadically being announced on her site here - not necessarily on her FB or Twitter as well, or at the same time, or ... ... it's very confusing. If you're a small furry quadruped of little brain.

Best Albums of 2014
One day I'll actually realise that listening to an album for the first time in 2014 does not make it a 2014 album, if you see what I mean... ... so that cuts out a lot of the albums I've been playing. So, from my own personal timewarp- …

Yeah well how many Goldfrapp videos have Pavlov'd us into accepting DVDs may not appear? sigh. Meanwhile, there's this as a souvenir. Lovely version of Eliza reworked for the strings and choir. Mmm.

Great gig last night, still blown away but thawing slightly now. At least if the DVD does get issued I can rewatch in the warm. So good to see Helen and Laura and other board members there.

Mara's been presenting Radio 3's Late Junction yesterday and is scheduled for tonight's programme as well - really interesting and eclectic choice of music. If you can't get R3 it is on I player - which I appreciate is impossib…

Royal Albert Hall - 18 Nov 2014
Great gig, lovely to meet you all again, and catch up, and to meet others for the first time. Doubtless the first of many. Shame I didn't get to meet more of you but - next time! I was sat behind Angie with Rach, so stalls, on the side. From …

I'm not even sure I'd call it hip hop - the album was a wierd mix of styles to me, not in the sense that they blended many styles into their own voice for their songs but in the sense that each song was in a different style altogether, co…

Hey Wild Corgi. This may provide a bit more info for you about the four singing registers, including Falsetto. http://www.divadevotee.com/2009/03/vocal-registers-explained.html Thanks again, more info to be going on with and their explanation is …

Thanks for the link - interesting. Open question here, should falsetto count towards vocal range or not? yes they're singing it, but no it's not produced the same way as normal singing ... Not every bloke can do it, but those who can hav…

Maybe a bit of a tangent, but it's intriguing me how many singers/bands/soloists have got gigs with orchestras coming up - Anna, John Grant (IIRC), Jonny Greenwood, Bill Ryder-Jones ... Did somebody put something in the water? Not complaining…

Where have we been? Dunno about you, but stretched out on our beds, fanning ourselves and clutching our smelling salts to our bosoms with all the excitement ... It's not a bad size orchestra, they have a history of doing interesting things, a…

Sleater-Kinney - Pompeii. How I didn't get into them first time round I will never know.

^ wouldn't that be a nice bonus .. although I fear the special guest I'd most like to hear is busy that night elsewhere. dammit.

Well, you know my thoughts on him (upthread), and that was me on a good day and in a good mood. Also posted to her FB was the terse "Nobody should support Morrissey", which I can't really quarrel with. The Morrissey fans are more we…

Marianne Faithfull at RFH on 29th November. Expecting Batty Granny persona, a voice an octave below laryngitis and gargling nails, and a fab night out. Like last time.

Agree, she's very articulate. Dead cheesed off I missed their tour* for this record, but hey! next time. Looking forward to that. * The number of times I've thought said or posted that this year. I could have a whole Failed Gigs Diary...…

Did you ever hear late Lotte Lenya? Now thats fcuked. Put it with late Billie Holliday and you have the Platonic form of Fcuked Voice - in my opinion. Now this is my opinion again but MF's voice is not quite that bad yet. OK maybe that's…
