Greenwich Music Time - 21 Aug 2014
Organisation-wise that was the worst gig out of 16 I've seen in 2013/14 - whoever decided to put all the extra space in front of the seats and not behind or in the middle or anywhere else, must be shot fired. Don't you love to see all the …

'Tales of us' Deluxe (new release - 30 June 2014)
I'm glad that Alison & Will can make a decent living, but it does feel a bit like they're taking advantage of their fans. Do they?Considering that album sales are getting worse and worse (now even digital album sales are falling, th…

Goldfrapp at Glastonbury!
yea, but she still does the ending parts..and those high notes in Thea etc, so doesn't sound like the reason. I think this is precisely because of Thea - she does not want to reach for the high notes more than usual, so does less in Utopia to …

'Tales of us' Deluxe (new release - 30 June 2014)
Word of advice, if you are buying the new edition for the videos (and you are purchasing from iTunes) - buy a separate film (in 'Films' section) instead of the deluxe album. Deluxe album contains videos in shitty semi-SD resolution (640 × …

How did you get into Goldfrapp?
I saw Twist video on Dotmusic website - and then started exploring for more, found Strict Machine, then remembered seeing (and liking) video for Train, and then ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE! :D

UK Tour 2014
Those were great, Alex. Thanks for posting. How on EARTH do you keep your hands so steady?? I kept my hands rested on top of the seat arms, not in the air (although in Brighton it wasn't a seat arm but a 'love handle' of a very bi…

Bristol Colston Hall gig - 1 April 2014
Dance-wise, I would give much kudos to the bloke in the red T at the front near Angie, who was dancing away on his tod for a long time (was that you, Howiet?). Also to the two women on the opposite corner, in front of me, who got up and started danc…

Bristol Colston Hall gig - 1 April 2014
Why does everyone complain so much about seated audiences? I prefer sitting at shows. In fact, I get a little bothered if those in front of me stand, and I can't see. Because it's a sacrilege! And because Alison tells people to dance :) …

Bristol Colston Hall gig - 1 April 2014
Yeah, I'm unimpressed in general: - audiences -> see above; I stood like a moron in the mist - two drunk girls next to me started talking very loudly during Thea about how they don't like that song; I literally had to tell them to shut …
