Happy Birthday Carpathian
Happy birthday Carp :-) Have fun and eat/drink loads! Shame you can't make it to the Goldfrapp/RAH gig. If it were possible, I'd wear my FrappGoggles™ which would transmit the whole experience (sound, vision, smell, taste?) to you ;-)

Seventh Tardis - The Doctor Who thread
I loved it. Had known cybermen would feature, and had long ago heard/assumed that Missy might be the Master. But the story was still very engaging, I thought. I know some folk were disturbed about the notion of cremation-experience, but I reckon mo…

How do you feel today?
Feeling very down, as my dog Oscar is nearing the end. In short: he was diagnosed with lymphoma in August... had 2 months of fairly normal healthy life, then from about 2 weeks ago felt unable to go for his usual daily walk, and is now not taking f…

St Vincent
Laura, Alice and myself were at the Roundhouse, London gig last night. Absolutely blinding show. Couple of unexpected songs, brilliant venue, stunning performance and lovely to see Laura and Alice again. Oh, and a lot of wine was drunk. Pretty dece…

Today, Annie won the Q Awards 'Maverick' award. Her acceptance speech thingy seems to have been taken down... but here's a clip of her chatting afterwards. Looking ghostly pale! Link And here is a fab pic from tonight's gig at …

St Vincent
Finally got around to getting another St V album. Downloaded 'Strange mercy'. At least they're all available in uncompressed format... I'd much rather pay £9 for the WAV/flac than £6 for the mp3 version. She starts UK leg of lat…

Twin Peaks
Ok, to clarify... that list is from IMDb... not a rock-solid source of info. But I'd be very surprised if any of the originals who want to be in it (and have DL's/MF's support)... weren't. And yes, the new book was a nice surpr…

Flaming horror, bloody Norah
Clueless A few years ago I was asking about the pros & cons of the various microwave ovens for sale in Currys/Dixons. The lad working there explained that model x had... 800W power output, 25 litres capacity etc, model y had 900W, 22 litres etc…

Entertain me! (the twisted & disturbing are welcome)
Oh bloody hell! "since the bodies were so recognizable" ... Yeah, here's my beloved Gran - looks just the same as usual, apart from the fact that her flesh is grey and cracked, she's no eyeballs or hair and all her internals ha…

Helen, hope you get something both decent and affordable :-) It's so worth doing a stop-over so's you can hang out with the other gig-goers after the show. Here is a reminder of that thread on Facebook where we were discussing it, back in…

Kate Bush (general)
A chat with John Carder Bush about his book 'Cathy' is in the Sunday Times magazine today. Go buy it! I did. I've scanned the text for those who can't get hold of it. JCB is Kate's brother, BTW. The book is (I think?) a sor…

Music Blu-rays
Wow, 100+ music DVD/Blu-rays, Peter... quite a collection. :-) I've just counted mine: 21... those all being DVDs. I guess promo-videos made before about 2004 will almost all be non-HD (?) and so would not lend themselves to the blu-ray forma…

David Bowie
First play today (BBC 6 Music), of new Bowie song, 'Sue'. Well, he can't be accused of resting on his laurels. Recent converts and fans of 'The next day' may shake their ears in disbelief. The nearest relative within the D…

^ OK, Carpy, we'll try! :-) Shame the date wasn't better suited for you... ... lets just say it's a similar reason to why you didn't know where you were sitting until you got to Hammersmith when we last saw Goldfrapp there in &#…

^ Cool, have added the Appys and the UTs to the plan. I ran out of unique/distinct colours so you (and CaravanGirl/Gro) are luxuriating in 2-tone!

^ Thanks. BTW, it was Appy61 who posted a link to the picture, originally - so thanks to him for that. Una, looks like you'll be sat just across the aisle from Dreeke + 1, which is nice. (I assume the +1 will be Marlou?)

Cheers, Úna. Have added you & caro. Am running out of distinct colours! You 2 ended up deep purple and pink! OK Lou, we'll await Keith's numbers. EDIT: Ah, I've now spotted Keith's post mentioning the 4 seats for him, Laura,…

You're not wrong WW! It's a sumptuous venue. As I mentioned on Twitter, we shall feel like the royal deer. When I saw Goldfrapp there in 2008, Alison mentioned how she felt humbled by the place. @Giancarlo - have now added you to the plan…
