'Tales of us' film & Q&A - 18 Jan 2014
I love the idea of a live band tour taking the film round cinemas - but as you say, there's limited amounts of time with the spring tour and all. Don't want to raise expectations unduly but the technology (especially for a radio broadcas…

'Tales of us' film & Q&A - 18 Jan 2014
Yeah, sounds like a mass screening of the films in many cinemas, with live music in real time.. Actually I didn't really understand but will probably be completely brilliant. I wonder if it's something like the broadcasts of live opera to …

It's February 11th which is a Tuesday - not good if you have to travel long distances or work the next day. If only it was the same weekend as Goldfrapp. I think somebody should have a word.

Aw I wasn't cross ... ... and didn't think you were crass It does help she's particularly photogenic - although that never made bad music sound good! (thinks back to teen years: it just made it look better) Are you going to any o…

There were other Q and A in December as well, and those were a really good read too. I hope she keeps up the tumblr postings, cos it really suits her - like Alison took to twitter/instagram. Now, if only I could think of a semi-intelligent quest…

More Anna Q and A here Two things - first, Q and A are far more interesting than interviews with her, and second, from the answers I swear she's scarcely even bothering with the glass closet anymore. All good

Brighton Dome gig - 29 March 2014
Assuming it hasn't been washed away by the end of March! Was down there yesterday and it was pretty stormy - nearly got blown off my feet, the West Pier/Rusthenge was being pummelled by waves etc, etc - but in typically Stoic British fashion, p…

^ Certainly is! I liked the way she said what she liked about the songs, otherwise I'd have been baffled, cos her taste is not mine ... Quite liked Suicide though. The band, people, the band: Xmas wasn't that bad!

Be afraid, be very afraid ... Ooops wrong fandom!!! Happy Christmas fellow Frappers: 2013 was a mixed bag for me as for many, but Frappdom provided real highlights and good memories. Yay for 2014 and the tour and the coming meet-ups! Best wishe…

Awww ... that's so sweet. I like the way that she seems much more approachable and open in twitter/tumblr stuff than in actual interviews. Let's hope no mad moronic fans change that. Here I am hours away from having to pretend to the r…

ALBUMS OF THE YEAR 2013
I had one of those Out of Time Years when I caught up with albums released earlier but which I had missed at the time, so although Sam Lee's Ground of its Own and Marina and the Diamonds' first record came out a while back, they will alway…

The single of Suddenly and a rather lovely lesbionic cover of Springsteen's Fire has been released early - Amazon MP3s or itunes. Or vinyl if you're into deferred gratification.

Never worked out how to quote/refer to twitter but the Anna Calvi twitter page reports that her support acts for the UK tour will be Anna Meredith and Womans Hour. As in Womans Hour the band not the Radio 4 programme, which would have been quite s…

Television....
BBC 4 scheduled to splurge on David Bowie as part of its Friday Night is Music Night programming - lots of stuff on Ziggy but also on the immediately post-Ziggy period. This programme of course shown before all the Ziggy stuff. Which is prolly ironi…

Brighton Dome gig - 29 March 2014
J 30 ... ...so quite close to Keith and Laura rather than waving at them across a crowded stalls. And Dreeke! Yippee and a big thanks to Elliott. Now for the hotel ... (and for the Anna Calvi gig in Feb too.) Hah, and to think I didn't even…

Exactly - that's always the sliding scale: Tix vs transport +/- hotel ... if the tix are still available? Hope they are. Seems to be no rhyme or reason about which gigs sell out these days.

The answers are always good though. I admit that the casual mention of post gig skinny dipping made it a bit hard to concentrate on the rest of the answers. The Hove gig is February so I can't see a repeat. Not in the real world. I keep try…

Technically an A-side not a B-side, and it's prolly heresy but I struggle to like Jezebel. There, I've said it. I feel so much better out of the closet about that. I'm looking forward to getting my paws on her cover of Springsteen�…

Happy dance! I'm going for the Brighton one. I fear the cheap place to stay may be a tent on the racecourse though... I am on the mailing list but who knows what happens there. So shall wait and see...
