Happy new year
Now that the festive holidays are well and truly over for most people let me wish a Happy New Year to all and best wishes for 2014. Thoughts of the UK tour in March should help us deal with the gloom of January and February.

Track of the Year 2013
'Laurel' - Goldfrapp This was the song that had the biggest impact on me at the first of the Albert Hall gigs and it's not lost the power to move me or fire the imagination, since. I can't wait to see what Alison and Lisa have p…

What`s the last film you watched ?
@KeithJ_gmb i watched kill list, yeah it got pretty creepy towards the end! Shades of 'The Wicker Man', of course. And 'Taxi Driver'. I may watch more soothing films over the Xmas holidays. But I'm also in the mood for some…

DELUXE BOX - Updates & information
I'm beginning to savour the box set, at long last. It was actually delivered yesterday but not to my house. It was left on the back step of a neighbour in a parallel block and it was only today that she was able to let me know that she had it. …

No parcel. No 'sorry you were out' card. :( If I get neither of these tomorrow or Saturday morning at the latest, Sandbag will be on the receiving end of my wrath. OK, that wouldn't scare or shame a kitten but a gesture would be neede…

DELUXE BOX - Updates & information
I got my e-mails today as well :) I fully expect a 'sorry you were out' note from the courier company in the next day or two. Which is fine as long as I can pick it up locally on Saturday morning. I may have to avoid reading this thread &…

ALBUMS OF THE YEAR 2013
Crumbs. I suspect I'm the most inadequate of gurus. Bear in mind that I don't use the phrase 'Best of'. I prefer to refer to my 'favourites'. And bear in mind that there are huge swathes of albums (including many on the…

ALBUMS OF THE YEAR 2013
We'll ask her to give us a tune when she's next in the UK for a gig :) I've bought a couple of dozen new albums this year and heard a few more. No surprise as to what my favourite is: "Tales of Us" - Goldfrapp When Alison …

What`s the last film you watched ?
I bought the DVD in HMV for £3 a while ago. It's been on Film 4 & will probably turn up there again as they part financed it.

What`s the last film you watched ?
I saw Leviathan earlier in the week. It was kinda intense, slightly disturbing and at times absolutely beautiful. The sound mix was fantastic, whoever did it needs a pat on the back. Well said. I saw it at the Edinburgh Film Festival this year whe…

Brighton Dome gig - 29 March 2014
I was looking at one event where it seemed to be the case that J was row 6 but that's obviously not typical. Call it getting carried away in the excitement. Or typing before thinking! I've just established that the Travelodge seafront won…

Brighton Dome gig - 29 March 2014
Laura & I are in J35 and 36. Which is actually only the 6th row. I'm going to travel down from Manchester on the Friday & will try to get in to the Travelodge as well. It should have a late night residents bar :)

UK Tour 2014
Well, it's been a fraught day but has a happy ending. I was free at 10am so clicked on the link from Tuesday's e-mail. Only to find that it didn't work. I tried several times over the next couple of hours & still nothing. I was ho…

UK Tour 2014
I was going to suggest that there should be a legal requirement to have a gig on a Saturday in either London, Brighton or Manchester so this announcement means that legislation is not necessary for now. :) It's Glasgow for me, of course. Possi…

We should invoke a late delivery penalty eg a DVD with all Lisa's films, free of charge. After the cinema release of course.

Somerset House 2013 - PHOTO Thread
I've said it on Twitter and I'll say it here - David's photos are stupendous. Some of the best gig photos I've ever seen. David should get free entry to every gig he can attend, as a reward :)

How do you feel today?
Well the good feeling of going to work today didn't last long. To say I'm re-typing my CV tonight will give an indication towards the day I've had today! ~X( Grim, indeed. On top of the fact that you've been run off your feet …

Manchester - MIF 17th/18th : Photos Thread
There's something about churches under construction! I can see Una, Stuart P and my own barnet. The latter is not a welcome sight at that angle. :(

Goldfrapp on 6Music Roundtable
Mark Thomas is my favourite comedian of all time , ever , seen him live since the middish 90s - if anyone has seen (or heard as it was on Radio 4) his Bravo Figaro tour , knows just how good comedy can be . That was a superb show. I might listen t…

I don't think I'll bother listening. Perhaps someone can tell us the records those on the panel really liked so we can snort in derision :)
