My boss stopped me right towards the end of the day and said "Oh, by the way, I watched that Jools Holland thing Tuesday night so I could see Goldfrapp - haunting stuff, yeah, really nice. Was that performing live?"
When I told him yes, that was indeed both performing live and for the live broadcast he seem most surprised and impressed in equal measures.
I have, it seems, a good new boss in the making.
A million fires before your harvest comes. To burn out. Wear the mask of a heathen. For the moon's lonely eyes.
Your wish has come true @Holyowl .... (prefered Stranger myself). But hey: we got 4 great live performances now (including Drew from the Jimmy Fallon Show). Not bad for starters....
Just watched Clay live on Jools Friday show. I haven't listened to the track for a while and I had instant hairs on end at the start of the first chorus. Amazing effect that song has on me. Really makes me shiver. As for Alison's presence, on Clay, a quiet reflective beginning is necessary to balance the gothic drama of the climax(es). So there.
