MIF Albert Hall ticket (Thursday)
Just to confirm NovaLasing's post... DownloadHelper (for Firefox) grabbed it fine for me too. That one (Lovely head) is an MP4 of 19MB file-size. It's only 640x360 though.. quite low-res, unfortunately.

Actually, it was Marc who fixed it. I received a tweet to that effect. Good to know there is still someone with full admin powers we can contact.

I tweeted Marc Kremers about it. No idea if it was fixed by him.. or more likely - some databasey thing just sorted itself out.

Pet stuff
As I mentioned elsewhere, I have a new dog (Oscar sadly passed away earlier in the year). This is a picture of Cooper (named after special agent Dale) and the other dude in the shot is none other than Mr dcbaxter. His collie Pepper was there too. &q…

How do you feel today?
Thanks for posting the juice recipe, PG. I'll mention it to my Mum. And I know some think it's a bit soon, but I have actually already got another pooch.The new pup is a Brittany. He'll never replace Oscar, but he is helping to fill …

How do you feel today?
Hi folks. Been a tough couple of months for me. Had to have my dog put down in early November (he was just 6 yrs old) and a week later heard that my Mum had bowel cancer. Looks like it was localized... and they have now removed the affected region, …

Alison chatted to Mary Anne Hobbs on Monday - partly to promote her '3 Wise Women" radio show that'll be broadcast on Boxing day. Here is a link to the MAH show. Alison's bit starts at 2 hours 5 minutes 50 secs. She chats about g…

^ Yes, it is true that recently they've not finished on a slowy. (I was going to point out that at Cecil Sharp in 2008 they also finished on Black Cherry.) And Alison is well-known for getting all teary during BC. At the start of the gig I had…

Well, the RAH concert was billed as their last for a long while. Can't see them putting out anything else TOU related.

Nice idea, Carpy. I assume you saw the xmas cards Angie designed? Not quite Goldfrapp-themed, but they have a frapp-feel!

Ahem! Seeing as this is the RAH thread, here are some pictures that I took last night. Sadly, there was only one of Alison that was worth keeping. But lots of us lot. Link

Nuwebb, missed you last night. Did you pop into the pub at all? Just a little comment re the running order... John Grant was introduced before 'Monster love', as he duetted on that - as well as on SVM.

I don't think so, but I might be wrong. It bloody should have been.

Loved the gig. What a curve-ball the JG duet & voicething-choir were! They were probably my favourite parts of the show, along with that amazing rendition of Black cherry. I had a perfect view, but it was frustrating because a couple of security…

^ Haha. Here's a link to a photo album from the Frapp MIF gig in 2013... the 3rd and 5th pictures in particular have a lot of us in. The tags (hover over the face) are people's real names, but there is a forum/real names list on here... in…

Thanks for that reminder of the times, Stuart_P. Yes, DuhVeed - the Queen's Arms is still the place forum members are gonna aim for. One or two as early as 4:30pm but most between 5 & 6 I believe. I reckon quite a few will go in to see the…

Haha, thanks John - I will add you to the Forum/RL names list. Would you wish to disclose your seat number(s)? Understand if not... Oh, and most of us hope to be in the Queen's Arms pub by 5:30pm ish, if you;re around then.

I've added a list of Forum/RealLife names to the Seating & accom thread. Sometimes useful to know an actual name eg when shouting across a pub, to confirm someone's order. "A pint of bitter, Trembling Star?" might raise a fe…

Very sorry to hear of your problems, KatRobin, and inability to get to the gig. :-( CM, afraid I'm one of those who's not into merch (strange, I know!) - so I'll most likely be in the pub until just before the support - Mara - goes o…

Ha, yes - the pheasants and wellies ones are amazing. Alison could pass for 25 in the leggy ones and, ahem... about 55 in the pheasanty ones. The latter achieved via costume and stills "acting" of course :-) One thing that link doesn…

Just a heads-up to anyone who hasn't seen it... the first Alison-legs cover-pic above... is from the brilliant Anna Fox 'Country girls' photoshoot. All 19 pics can be seen here.
