I'd lay money on it being Drew tonight, so looking forward more to Friday when there will be at least one more, possibly two.

Unfortunately the sessions were well adverised and a lot of people will have applied for all the sessions. So expect a fair number there who aren't ardent GF fans....grrr

Setlists - more variety, please
Little Bird is is just amazing, recorded or live. Just love how it starts like a nursery song and ends in a psycho crescendo

Yes the two top acts often get 3 songs. In each of the last three times they were on Jools (2008 and 2005x2) there were 3 GF songs.

It's the Friday extended edition that matters. Should get 3 GF songs with any luck. Question is what others apart from Drew. They won't play Thea:( so hoping for Clay plus Alvar to give the right balance.

I wish I had your confidence HJ - I reckon the chances of getting a ticket are no more than 5:1 :(

I think he's one of the best, partly because I discovered GF through one of his shows. He has featured Goldfrapp at each phase apart from Head First. And he plays great boogie piano

Head First... best to worst...
HF is a good album - half of it is excellent in particular Hunt, Dreaming, S&W. Pity the other half was mediocre & Rocket stands out as easily the worse track GF have done - it's the only track I skip on any of their albums. Having sai…

I'd also love to hear more extended versions as they allow improvisation and add more interest & excitement. RAWH, Little Bird, and of course Strict Machine are good examples.....

`Tales Of Us` - Reviews By Us
OMG la cortina is back - how we've missed your barbs and unreadable text! You've not liked anything since FM if I remember rightly? You're right TOU is no FM2 but they wouldn't be Goldfrapp if they did the same thing again. I�…

TOU Press Reviews
I wouldn't take any notice of PF's reviews - they gave 7T (the best album of the past decade) only 4.6

'Tales of Us' review in the Guardian
I know how you feel but don't think we should be too hard on the reviewer as they only have time to listen to an album once or twice. You can only get a first impression then - it takes me 5 to 10 spins to get into a complex album and tell whet…

Seventh Tree.... best to worst
This is soo difficult. 7T is the best album ever - still growing on me. Each track is wonderful in itself and yet so distinct. There is so much variety with different voices (I worry that TOU might be too even) 1. Eat Yourself 10/10 2. Little Bird …

Cheers Thom. Love the piece at the end about filming Jo and Alison's "OMG, where's the fucking axe" moment

Somerset House 2013 live updates (sans photos)
Wow what a gig. I thought it might be an anticlimax after Manc but if anything was even more enjoyable. I can't think of enough superlatives, it was soo good on many levels. - the sheer energy and emotion Alison put into it, & rest of band …

Goldfrapp live in Bristol on Jun 23
Pity it's not London - can't do Bristol on Sunday and get back for work on Monday. Enjoy - those lucky people who can make it. Just hoping we get some longer previews of TOU before Manc....
