What are you listening to now?
What am I listening to now? DUH. The Guardian's free stream of Kylie's new album Kiss Me Once. I feel like we're going to be hearing "Les Sex" in gay clubs all summer long.

She's so damn glamorous. Is the hair a bit shorter than it was last year?

oponn5, yup, parking sucks in LA. People bang on about the traffic, but it's the parking that sucks. Rule of thumb, don't expect free parking on a night out in LA. Anyway, it's one of the reasons I use public transport so much in L…

Live footage from MIF/Albert Hall, 18 of July 2013
No one knows, CaravanGirl. I think we're all hoping that they eventually release a Tales of Us DVD with the 5 films, the cinema Air Studios concert footage and a "real" live concert set--like Manchester's. That would be ace!

Good for you, oponn5!! How was the turnout in Westwood?

Ponygurl, if I'm following this thread correctly, you were to have gone to one of the FL screenings? If so, just in case you're not aware, Miami is one of the cities with a March 25 and March 27 screening.

Oh I'm so glad to hear it was sold out! I'm going to try to make the Burbank showing myself, though still hoping another location in central LA pops up before then. Out of curiosity, how much were the tix in North Hollywood?

Looking fwd to reports from US deers! I had to work late tonight and gave my tix to a co-worker. Going to try to attend one of the later screenings scheduled for later this month.

Aw, LittleBird, I'm sorry that your experience was such a shitfest. How disappointing. Are there any later screenings in the UK you can attend? I know that some of the screenings in the US are taking place later this month. I had to work la…

Any Southern Californians going to the LA area showings? They've picked terrible cinemas. I have to imagine the venues were chosen by folks with no knowledge of the local markets. I'm afraid that, even in LA, we're going to have a …

Oh gosh. That's a bit too intimate for my taste. Sounds like it might be an awkward experience for the audience and the band. Especially on the dancier numbers like "Train", which Alison has said they will be performing in addition…

Keith, it just gets better and better. I'm up to episode 6 and I cannot wait for the debut of ep 7 next week.

Let's just be honest, outside of a few major cities in the UK, this is a poorly executed mess. There's still 9 days to get things together, but it seems unlikely to be successful. I think the organizers/producers could learn a thing or t…

Is anyone else watching HBO's True Detective? I'm not fully caught up (just finished episode 4), but I already think this is the best drama HBO has produced since The Wire. Considering the amount of work involved, it's stunning to m…

Yes, it does seem like they've lost a great deal of momentum--not just the single--the overall TOU era, I'm afraid. I guess things will pick up after the cinema event and (hopefully) after the announcement of some int'l tour dates.

Yeah, they're also a bit risk adverse. I think we'd be more likely to get somewhere a bit more independent. Like, well, The Independent in downtown. They've done some of the live performing arts telecasts like National Theatre etc.…

Ah, gotcha. I should have figured that out given that most folks on here are in the UK. What are the UK charts officially called, anyway?

Have we discussed the new Roisin Murphy song "Leviathan"? It is awfully good and I'd venture to say perhaps her strongest non-solo-album work. It's technically a Freeform Five song with guest vocals by Roisin. I hope he works …

Wait, wait, wait. You're telling me Goldfrapp had the number 4 album in the US? Are you sure? I feel like we would have been talking about that on here. I know they've always done well on the "dance" charts for Billboard, bu…

I've been enjoying the new song from this little known underground artist named... Kaylie Manogue. I think I got that name right. (But, seriously, it's a lovely pop song. KM does look quite Alison'esque in the video, doesn't s…

Do you think they'll open their BB gig with "Rocket"? Or "Shiny and Warm"? Or maybe "Head First"? Okay, okay, I'll stop. yes, I'm 12.

Ha. I lived in LA for nearly 5 years and have never been to North Hollywood. Perhaps it's time! I'm going to wait to see if a more desirable location gets added, though. I doubt NoHo is going to sell out.

Interesting Festival Name. I'm sure it will be...quite a relief when Goldfrapp hit the stage.

Jesus Christ, Utopia. What's next? You going to mail Alison one of your ears?

Kinda surprised they couldn't book this gig in a proper LA--as in the city of Los Angeles--cinema. All we get is some random outpost in North Hollywood and another in Valencia (which is NOT Los Angeles)--it's much further North of LA--wher…

Tatiana Matlany pulled off quite the hat trick with those multiple performances. She is just phenomenal in Orphan Black, I agree. I do wish the show wasn't so... overproduced with its "rock n roll" editing and blaringly loud soundtr…

I adore TOU, but I would be a bit disappointed if everything moving forward is this mellow. I'm sure I'll be happy with whatever direction they want to go in next. But since we're making requests, it would be interesting for them to…
