    River Man by Nick Drake.
    This song, and particularly this video, reminds me of the Tales of Us era of Goldfrapp. I heard a cover of this, earlier in the week, by Olivia Chaney performing at this weeks folk awards. The female vocal pushed it even further into the Goldfrapp reminiscence.

    The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ.
    Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor Wit.
    Shall lure it back to cancal half a line,
    Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it.

    Colin Blunstone - Say You Don't Mind
    Reminds me of both Goldfrapp TOU and the Beatles, which is obviously the string quartet.
    @Whickwithy would have liked this. You still out there WW?

    Whickwithy has informed me that he will never be returning to this forum ever again because he does not wish to engage in battles with "fools."

    His words. Not mine.

    Shame. You drove him away. He's been here since the start of the forum.

    If I were dead, could I do this?

    I hope so. He has been a loyal Goldfrapp contributer for many years. Remember the time he had been on the pop one night and filled about 20 pages? Hilarious!

    Who knows what anyone's going through off the boards? I'm sure he has brighter days coming.

    Benjamin Zephaniah's autobiography "The Life and Rhymes of Benjamin Zephaniah" on Radio 4.

    Saw him in performance in a small room above a pub a few years ago - the man is a force of nature and a 5 star hero

    I was listening to the Sisters from First Aid Kit over the weekend on BBC 6 Music, where they played music that had influenced them. They played this by Heart, as they were another Sister group, and I remembered that this was probably a transition track to me in liking female rock vocals. Kate Bush was another early step along that path but I remember liking Ann and Nancy Wilson's work back in the late 70's. Nancy was one of the original female rock guitarists, showing that the girls could stand toe to toe with the guys and Ann's vocals were just epic, soaring stuff. This is Crazy on you, live and that's Nancy doing the intro. She's just turned 20...
