Yep, pic of frapp-owl in place now, prior to their slot. Am watching with Mr DCBaxter. He's here with his family.

Montreux Festival - live stream - 9 July 2014
There's a countdown timer on that webpage which shows that it starts at 8pm (Engerlish time). But it says London Grammar, Goldfrapp. So... I guess A_is_A's time of 9:15pm might well be the Goldfrapp start-time... for us UK lot.

It is too quiet on here right now. So talk about anything.....
Couldn't remember which thread it was where we were mentioning odd names? so this one will have to do. It was my brother who had the honour of knowing someone (female) going by the (real) name of "Aynel". I've just had an e-mai…

I always worry about just who has been handling mine, and how carefully they treat it. I prefer to keep it in my own hands for as long as possible. Such a relief when I can finally unzip and unload...

Happy birthday Peter Jeffery (Pet) :-) Hope and trust you're having a splendid day! I wonder if they make badges that say "I am 68"? :-)

Goldfrapp at Glastonbury!
And might I say, it was the first performance she didn't sing Utopia's intro? Wonder why. She has been doing it like that since last year. Not sure why. Overall a great show although as one or two others have said... not perhaps the great…

I know newer members won't know her, but what the hey... here is a shot of my 46-inch TV showing a very animated Visual_Fallacy (Sally) in the crowd during 'Train'. Yes, those are wolf ears. :-)

Lots of us were posting on facebook during the stream. Hope you all spotted Sally dancing in her wolf ears! Una reckoned setlist was the same as the 'Body and Soul' show last week. But yeah, it suited this setting perfectly too. Eleanor (…

Sorry rewak... Alison doing Little Bird just to piss you off! ;-) Yeah, I thought the version of Yellow Halo was superb! Nice one, Carpy - if you can grab it afterwards.

^ Sky boxes always output standard (ie non-high-def) video (and audio) through their scart socket. So the problem is likely to be 2 or 3 I'd say. Maybe you can try to view the DVD recorder's output on your TV (ie rather than viewing the ou…

Television....
Those of us who were/are keen on female musicians from the punk era... there is a programme on Monday (30 June) on BBC2 at 10pm which should be interesting. The Culture Show: Miranda Sawyer meets up with Viv Albertine and some of the other key fema…

If anyone is interested... Adam Kline was the main contact Carpy and myself had when we had the admin roles assigned to us (about a year ago I think) but we haven't had much, if any, contact from him in the past 9 months or so. The only other …

It just means "gosh!". It doesn't particularly signify approval or disapproval.

^ Err, the thread title says what it is!? lol I keep forgetting that JH is blocked stateside. I don't think anyone can "unblock" it, but there are ways to make Youtube think your computer is *not* in the US.

^ Hmm, I hate to seem gossippy, but you could delve into old threads and discover for yourself... so I suppose it's really just saving you time. A (male) forum member was seduced and led on by Alan. He sent him pictures, messages, e-mails and …

Alan posts on those social media sites, and I have to say... it's all very considered & polite... mostly comments and links with photography in mind. I'm just pointing this out, as it makes his behaviour on here all the more unfathomab…

People can see how long it's been since a particular person has visited the forum.. by going to their profile page and checking 'Last active'. eg for folklore, it says: "Last Active: February 25". (You might have problems a…

Audio only???? What's the point. Seriously thought it was the films etc. I definitely read it as audio only. I'm not going blind am I??? :( :-?? The films are on offer, but not the live (Air studio) footage.
