    Which one is this?

    Are you serious?
    That's not one of the new songs....


    HA! I was scared to play it because I'm avoiding the new material. I should have specified that. ;)

    ETA: Okay, now the YouTube has added the song titles. :)

    I had a king in a tenement castle, lately he's taken to painting the pastel walls brown. He's taken the curtains down. He's swept with the broom of contempt, and the rooms have an empty ring. He's cleaned with the tears of an actor who fears for the laughter's sting...

    Argh, the videos of the new songs are finally coming through!
    Be strong, Low, use your willpower and watch the live performances of F.M and S.T songs instead.

    Nice find, wonder if there is more...... Cant quite make it out but the filmer might have been just in front of me - if it was done last night.

    I was chatting to staff on the balcony on the second night - was told both nights were filmed, the cameras look like large slr's. I saw one next to each half of the choir pointing at the stage, one on the back of the balcony facing the stage and there were a couple of guys wandering around with cameras handheld on 'damping bars' (or whatever the things that take camera shake etc out are called haha).

    Cheers for that info, pob! Well, if it's the beeb (as implied by toast), that sounds a lot more basic than what they did at Electric proms / Cecil Sharp. But hopefully some decent (public) footage will result.

    So glad it was a fabulous gig and a great memory.

    As fate has it, on the day before I went down with First! Ever! Attack of Sciatica, which actually I totally would wish on my worst enemies.

    So I couldn't have gone yesterday, and am so highly medicated today I am posting in the 15 minute interval between the meds taking off the pain and making me fall over when seeing double.

    I'm having to interpret not getting a ticket as A Sign, otherwise I'd be hobbling on past the Drs to Citivets for about half a Shetland pony's worth of ketamine. ...

    Enjoy tonight guys.

    Oh crap Lindsay, sorry to hear about the sciatica. I've had neck/trapped-nerve probs which I think is similarly painful :(

    People might well enjoy tonight, but I don't think there is a GF gig? Tomorrow is Somerset...

    Right - far too much to go through over the last three days so here's some bullet points to guide you randomly through the mayhem lovely fun.

    • It was stupidly hot.
    • Having a great long chat with Dreeke & Marlou when I arrived which included us being given money by a random mysterious Irish Santa.
    • The fact that trying to keep a bunch of Frappers in one place is harder than juggling smoke.
    • Dive-bombing spider.
    • "In-out-in-out-shake it all about" queuing on the first night at the venue. Random isn't the word. Well, yeah, actually it is.
    • Getting into the hall itself and feeling the heat. Did I mention it was hot?
    • The fact that the Wednesday night blew us all away......then the Thursday somehow tipped it all over again.
    • The Tea And Cake Splinter Group - one of the lovliest afternoons I've had in aaaages. (cake pains notwithstanding)
    • Finally getting to meet Sally & Chrissybobs. You wouldn't believe how often we've missed doing so!
    • Tweety's Breakfast Club - he knows hs way round a banger. No, honestly!
    • Going out of the hotel early morning and it already being stupidly hot. It was quite warm, did you know?
    • Una discovering she is a polar magnetic opposite to Hotel Chocolat. There was no escape!
    • Saying hi to Angie & Davide - that was a bit random!
    • The Mitre Hotel members bar (and its fishy inhabitants) that felt more like a front room with some friends crashing in it each night. Top place!
    • The huge amount that the new music came to life one the second night compared with the first. Amazing how fast I found myself back in the headspace and it clicking in so few listens.
    • Discovering the Manchester city centre equivalent of Narnia's hidden door while out shopping with Una. You turn a corner and go from two people on the street sounding like they were about to have a fight to oodles of suited city staff, Vivienne Westwood, Jamie Oliver & austentatious supercars (a light blue Ferrari - hello?!)
    • Exchanging glances with Laura during the new material - her face said it all and told no lies.
    • The odd moments of shade and air-conditioning when it wasn't hot. There weren't many, sadly.
    • All the Frappers (without a single exception) being even nicer in 3D than they are in 2D. Yes, all of you. If I've not mentioned you by name then it's not meant as a sleight but more that there are sooooo many top-drawer peeps in the MIF club.
    Seriously, the list above could have been double the length and still not summed up how less than three days away in Manc has felt like a full week's break. I honestly don't think any of it could have been better. At all.

    My best Goldfrapp gig(s) experience(s) yet, I think.

    And my best too, Carpy (I did spot you near the front on the first night but didn't really get to socialise) and I thought The Royal Festival Hall was impossible to top. High as a kite when we left (on music and cherry vodka)

    Nice vids. Cool post Carpy.

    Glad im right about those small video cameras that got mistook for slrs with a small lense. Im never right bout anything.
    We all look better in the dark.
