Anna Calvi
Missed Jools on Tuesday but watched it tonight... was my first time seeing/hearing Anna. She certainly has musical charisma... I found her quite compelling. :-) I did think the chorus on the 2nd song was very similar to that on the 1st one though? J…

Maida Vale session - BBC 6Music - 15 Oct 2013
I've put a clip of 'Alvar' on youtube. The trebly, jangly guitar reminds me of Viv Albertine's style, as per tracks like 'The false heart'. And of course it contains the cryptic but affecting line "I want to swim y…

Looks like there were audio glitches on both TV/red-button and web-stream. Definitely in 'Stranger' and... some other(s)? I also have a recording of the radio broadcast... will check that today.

Rob, the mpg link has an extra 6 characters on the end (spacey HTML), which means it doesn't find the page. Anyway, thanks for the edit/upload, am downloading now.

'Performer As Curator' - Alison curating Manchester exhibition.
The give-away ticket to today's private view was won by Sarah Parry. Lucky girl. If you're reading this... say Hi to Alison from us!

'Performer As Curator' - Alison curating Manchester exhibition.
So.. it's a "private view" today (with Alison in attendance) and then open to the public on saturday (and afterwards)?

Interesting clips
Yes.And every thread that has been created about them... has been deleted by top admin (ie 'deer').So this one is likely to go too. Let's see if we can make it less... "red flag".Obviously no-one should post any links on her…

^ Well, when it is embedded, the title is across the top of the window, right?But yeah - for links... always best to say what/who it is...

^ Oh, right.When I watched it today, I didn't find it as... uncomfortable as when I saw it live. It's actually quite an amazing performance. But obviously if Alison would rather it wasn't public I'll take it down.

Here's 'Yellow halo'. Heart-wrenching, and a testament to Alison's professionalism that she does her best to complete it. And apologises at the end. You do just want to hug her. :-(

Felix: funnily enough, I am just now editing a clip of 'Yellow halo' to go up on Youtube. Will post link here when it's finished/uploaded.Otherwise, as Carpy says, there are other sources - mentioned above (eg Sartori's complete …

Cheers for the run-down of the event, Alex. I think your question would have been a good 'un actually.So how close were you guys.. about 20 feet away? It looks quite a small studio.

Yes, was going to suggest people use links rather than embedded Youtube clips. Can you not just type in a bit of text, highlight it, click on the 'link' icon, and then paste the Youtube URL into the popup?

^ Oh, forgot you hadn't seen that yet! At first it looks and sounds like Alison fluffed a line and/or there were audio/tech problems. And then she appears to be on the edge of tears :-( It was only near the end that I remembered the subject mat…

GOLDFRAPP LIVE BBC 6 has anyone recorded the entire show?
Ta, the pic is my dog, a Hungarian Vizsla!Do you mean the link to the thread doesn't work? It's just the "Maida vale" thread in the news section.

Yes, 'Yellow halo' was about her Mum, and her passing. Poor Alison.I wonder if the hands-thrown-up-in-air gesture was annoyance with herself maybe?...

Saw Alex and (I think) NovaLasing on the webcast.I'm recording the red button broadcast on my PC (hopefully) and the full radio show on my skybox.

Alex was at the front/middle but got moved to the side as he is so tall! (see tweets)
