    Is there a thread for the Hammersmith gig? I couldn't see one.

    Where are those going seated? No stalls seats left There are some circle seats available, but looks like the best is Row P... which is waaaay back :(

    Yeah, I'm hoping that something more intimate like the Electric Proms / Cecil Sharp gig will happen.

    Finally, I should say that Sartori wasn't so     tired & emotional that he didn't grasp in the end where he had to go. Glad you made it in one piece, Rob :)



     Nice euphemism for "pissed" haha . I recall the tube , a buritto , morning , result :)  . Cheers Giles , just the mooning , thats alright , as long as the Police havent got bottom recognition software I`m ok :D 

    The Times review , mm... "far from full" ? it sold out , I expect that given the heat that middle aged peeps decided not to chance their arm on becoming a statistic perhaps - if thats true  . This is what I hate about journalists (sorry for any reading ....a bit anyway) , its the tabloid undermining of Goldfrapp to give substance to their "falling off the pop radar" point , 
    I agree with the chatting part though , but , but , but , what she fails to note is that these days people have no respect for others and will gladly talk in cinemas or anywhere , anytime (yes , Martini Time Knobs) , its not a "Ooh La La" crowd thing , it happens at every artists gigs during any slow number , its not confined to Goldfrapp - selfish knobs are everywhere . I wouldn`t generalise and say its a youth thing , plenty of the people I saw talking on Saturday about shopping etc were middle aged .

     Its just society today , low attention spans , the me me me society , the senses of over entitlement to do whatever they want , a constant desire to play with an iPhone or whatever , even at Manchester there was a murmuring between the new tracks that carried on into the next track . Knobs are everywhere . 

     But (yup another but) the gist of the article is  , the new stuff is great and sounds wonderful but that`s not the same as it being successful . It is flimsy though to use the reaction of the crowd and the alleged fullness of the venue as evidence of that though .

    Great gig, excited to hear new material, fantastic lighting/lasers, BUT I've never known soooo many people talking loudly ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE ENTIRE F**KING CONCERT. Wos the madder wiv yer?    Over half of them had their backs to the stage too.

    It was lovely to see you again Giancarlo. At least this time you didn't pass out. :O

    Safe trip back to Italy

    Pete


    Lovely for me too Pete ! Had two days of wi-fi blackout and no possibility to read the forum (not yet understood how to do it by phone). At home now.
    No overheating this time ! As I've told you I was a lot worried for the disturb given to Alison in that occasion, wanted to bury myself ...

    I know ;)  .

     The real Ray Winstone level of dramatisingment/attention seeking about leaks is about to kick off soon . Think I might leave the board until half past August , it`ll soon be flooded with tantrums and tears and the threads will turn into a clown census - where`s bloody Noah when you need him . 

     Sorry we couldn`t carry on our chat , I had a real fandangleish time reaching the toilets and then we were lost , like Lost on tv but without monsters . PM me your Twitter account , "Bad decisions make good stories" :)
