I wonder, is Teresa May actually a sim? She's actually made a career of doing and changing nothing, which in normal times might be a good quality for a politician to have. Only we're facing growing crises in housing and health/care which n…

New York gig 26/27th April @Brooklyn Steel
Not your fault, it's a Google algorithm that linked Goldfrapp to unrelated gigs somehow. Just hoping that fans in Canada didn't see that and get their hopes raised :)

Unfortunately Google no good in this case. Some wires crossed as Goldfrapp should be performing at Ridgeway Ontario tonight according to Google!

New York gig 26/27th April @Brooklyn Steel
Guys, there are some more gigs for 2017. If you are already aware then ignore. Quite a few in Canada, in Ontadio, Creemore and Kelowna. Calgary, Edmonton, Saskatoon, Winnipeg, Woodstock and Niagra-on-the-lake. In the US there's a gig in Seat…

Anymore is way better than Rocket imo. Head First was really good in parts - Hunt, Dreaming & Shiny among Goldfrapp's best. Rocket was a good live singalong song but the weakest track they've ever done.

Jools Holland 11 and 14 April
Now had a chance to view both those Jools programs back to back and they are different takes. On the live program, Jools gives a different out to to Systemagic and introduces Thundercat whereas on the recorded show, he takes the show to the conclu…

The stretch from "Become The One" through "Beast That Never Was" just might be one of my favorite consecutive strings of songs on any Goldfrapp album. My thoughts too. Anymore & Systemagic are great but the album really get…

A bit disappointed that the second song was the same take of systemagic as on Tuesday. Was hoping for Ocean (or in my dreams, Zodiac Black :) )

Jools Holland 11 and 14 April
Last time Goldfrapp were on Jools they did 2 songs on the main show (Stranger & Clay) and a different one (Annabel) on the live show. They're not headlining so I'm expecting the same pattern with only 2 tonight, prob Anymore & Ocea…

Just Systemagic tonight - great performance with Alison in black :) Expect we'll get Anymore and Ocean on Friday

Vinyl Records
Thanks Nick, that's interesting about Elton. Not sure how can he can possibly get into 5 or 6 new albums a week with all the other things he has to do? At his age he won't be able to hear any difference between digital and vinyl but obviou…

This is always a good topic for discussion and we're grown up enough not to take comments too seriously! I'm with you UT when it comes to listening to the whole album - well with Goldfrapp anyway (I don't even skip Rocket :) ). And I…

I love how this topic keeps coming round :) Personally I was glad to see the back of vinyl, though occasionally miss the artwork a 12" sleeve offers. The masters are digital so, provided the digital media is well produced, I can't see the …

Great! I hope they perform Zodiac Black and Beast That Never Was.. So do I but bet it'll be Anymore + Ocean

It's not good that no-one received their cd on time. When the post didn't come on Friday I looked for a digital download and was really pissed off when that that wasn't there! We complained, and to be fair to Music Glue they then quic…

Check your music glue account - I was just going to complain that the CD hadn't arrived and there was no digital download but see at midday MP3s for the whole album available

Thanks Pete to you and others who helped me back on my feet and enjoy this fantastic gig! My doctor friend says I wasn't drinking enough (water that is :) )

Roundhouse gig - March 27th
Such an extra-special show (even though I prefered the red pvc :) ). All the band on tip-top form and Alison rejuvinated, even more energetic and chatty than at Glasgow. And the lighting was better with striking backdrops. Just a pity that having re…
