It sounds glorious on headphones - I'm sat at work after my first watch of it and absolutely loved it. Really captures in a snippet what has made the latest tour so simple yet effective.

Maleficent - surprisingly pleasing twist on a tale with Jolie turning in a joyously delicious turn. I was going to go and see this last night or tonight but my local cinema has all the showings in 2D (well it has 3D but they're at 10:30am and…

Goldfrapp score Medea
Booked for my local Tyneside Cinema - only 6 Metro stops away from my front door, good food and a big leather armchair with my name on it in an original Art Deco screening room. It's going to be a good night out - in!

Add another happy viewer for the X-Men movie - thought it had wit, set pieces and trod the line of playing to the fanboys and standing alone in the film franchise very well indeed. If I had to nit pick I'd have happily had more Storm but she&#…

50th anniversary of the Moog (inc Will)
Further explains the version of "Stranger" Will did for the Tales deluxe box - the man sure does love his Moog action!

50th anniversary of the Moog (inc Will)
It's not a huge amount from Will but a) the article features theramin mentions b) it's a very interesting article in its own right c) it does give a good insight into Will's entry point into the synth world

If you fancy a bit of icleandic pixie action :-) then i suggest you diefinately check out Samaris if they come your way. The singer will definately enchant you with her icelandic ways. Music pretty good aswell. I have (and love) the Hljóma Þú E…

Sigh. Godzilla. Some may feel the following a bit spoilery but really it's exactly what I & you should have expected. Good: The creature FX, destruction & fight set pieces are astounding. A real step up in solid, convincing effects w…

St Vincent
For some reason the Byrne collab didn't grab me but her solo stuff certainly does. Still getting to grips with the new one but Strange Mercy proved itself to be a real grower and is very much loved by me.

RIP
H.R Giger died today :( Just saw that - such a huge shame. I've always been interested and intrigued with his work from discovering it via sci-fi as a young-un right through to the new Triptykon album which I bought last week that uses his a…

Carps, I thought it was a beautiful film, but the love story was a little distracting. Without giving anything away, it just didn't jive with the rest of the plot. Still, I saw it twice--and in Japanese. I didn't mind, really - I guess…

I'm really looking forward to the new ghibli film the wind rises, and Frank. But typically they're not playing anywhere bloody near me for weeks, aaarrrgggghhhh!!! Just saw The Wind Rises an hour or two ago - the wonderful Tyneside Cinem…

An Icelandic woman speaking English can be one of the most heart-flutteringly sexy things ever. Have 15mins of the scrumptious Hafdis Huld (Her story about the big smelly dog in the car is brilliant)

@ Ponygurl & A_is_A re Under The Skin Really pleased to read your two reviews - it definitely does keep rolling back to mind in little ways afterwards and that's when art, in any form, has made a proper impact with you. The weird thing a…

Check Twitter for Alison updates
Alison loves knockers and I just tweeted asking to see a pic of hers. Stop sniggering at the back, you lot! :P :D She's bought a new brass door knocker in the shape of an owl and she's most delighted by it. Knowing the sort of things…

It's a Canadian production, released in 2010. It's not bad, if the trailer intrigues you it's worth checking out, but it isn't as deep as it lets on which is why it didn't generate buzz. It's a good first watch but ther…

I was born the year that box set ends! Not sure if that's good or bad in the context of the conversation :D

What are you listening to now?
The Eccentronic Research Council feat Maxine Peake "Underture: 1612" If you've not heard this yet then you should - Maxine Peake's utterly glorious northern spoken word and some bonkers/brilliant analogue synth magic all tied to…

It's a tough one. Personally I'd say you have to throw the hits collection at somebody to give a half decent idea and even then it fails to shed light on the corners of the rest of the material. If you describe them as "pop" the…

oops, my question may be misinterpreted (sorry), I wanted to know your seat coordinates because from my seat I haven't heard the first words of the question (too loud applauses) If you missed it too then I don't feel so bad! I was in J 11…
