Yeah it's quietly impressive the way the sales are building. I think I only found the Troxy gig because of a scrolling idiosyncrasy with Mistah Chipz here. Yeah, the last time I went I didn't have a great experience - Patti Smith not on …

Eeep did I get the last one?? I booked the Troxy cos it is just over the wall from Stately Corgi Manor - really no excuse if I miss this and mega annoying if I did. Plus I did wonder if there was a Very Short Tour Indeed thing going on because th…

You all got that tickets for 8 Feb at London's Troxy have been released, right? I ask only cos I just found out. Right Hells Bells, will offer some thoughts if I can articulate any when I get the new record.

Mine's on its way - shall we just say there was a glitch in the delivery process at Stately Corgi Manor? Really looking forward to this - and as I haven't heard the songs live I am expecting it'll take a couple of listens to click. …

FB is not a forum for spreading and inciting hate... In all honesty, I thought that was exactly what it HAD turned out to be, and Twitter just as much. When it's not being a marketing opportunity, that is. Not the only sites like it, and not…

Tales of Us - Lyrics
Thanks for doing that, and totally agree with you on how important they are. It made a huge difference hearing Annabel pre-release without lyrics, and post-release with. On a tangent - apart from Annabel and Drew, I would never have worked out the…

You have picked my most favourite of her B-sides. I don't think it was released as an official single but should have been in my opinion. Turn it up loud and let those guitars blow your ear drums ^:)^ And then the whispery vocal. mmmm. it…

Totally agree Laura - she's very good indeed and I'm cursing I couldn't get a ticket for the gig but that's the way it worked out. Did she ever properly release Wolf Like Me? Really looking forward to her new album.

TOU Press Reviews
Good question about Rolling Stone's review .. Pitchfork. There's prolly a conclusion to be drawn from the precious little darlings on how restrictive, limited and conformist coolness is, but it's Friday and I would quite like anothe…

TOU Press Reviews
Well Pitchfork review is up now, and while I'm somewhat disappointed, I'm not surprised at all. Pitchfork is such an elitist pretentious site really. http://www.pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/18474-goldfrapp-tales-of-us/ My favourite b…

Tales Of Us - 6th album - 09/09/2013
Arrived today. Had some snippets earlier but easing myself into this one. So nothing on the individual songs yet but overall - it's very very good indeed. Yeah I am managing to ration myself much to my surprise. Best thing for me is how differ…

The only people I met up with that night were Sally and.. Wait, no I think that was it... I was with my Jess at the time, so we kinda just did the whole thing amongst ourselves! God, I now feel reaally dreadful as I can't remember much of it a…

Tales Of Us - 6th album - 09/09/2013
... I don't know why everyone gets so touchy about the slightest negativity in a review. Most of my all time favourite albums don't get perfect reviews. Music is not like Physics, there is exact wrong or right it's pretty subjective. …

MOJO - Abum of the month
Ooh and news in the issue about the Watersons' "lost" record Bright Phoebus, and Anna Calvi. It is a good review, isn't it. What I'm taking away is that it doesn't sound like it's the sort of record that grabs yo…

really good thoughts from carpi and tattmaylor ... and thanks, whickwithy! I can now imagine how you'd rate a leak as one of those "high probability/low impact" risks the Uber-Bosses at work make us slave over - while also seeing a …

Anyone who just downloads this crappy leak of the album might not know that the iffy sound quality is caused by the compression, etc. How would you feel if you're an artist counting down the days to your very first exhibition and suddenly you …

Someone has just said on the leak thread that the Bowie album is the only recent album they remember not leaking. That's because nobody knew a bloody thing about it!!!!! That was me ... and yeah the reasoning is circular-ish and I think I…

(leak talk in this thread)
TBH the only album I can think of in recent years that has not leaked was the new Bowie, and I also remember the world reaching for its smelling salts out of shock that a Bowie album hadn't leaked ... or even been known about. Not a fan of los…
