I think .............. or happy artists. Great post - it's a very interesting (and ever ongoing) conversation indeed. Many of the best albums I hold dear have come from troubled, sad, drug-addled, bitter or otherwise downtrodden eras that art…

If I can lever myself away from playing Destiny online I'll crank it up over the weekend sometime. I'm sure one of us can grab it in some form whilst it's on the iPlayer.......

If push comes to shove I can use some old-school grabbing like Audacity and leave it playing for the show length to snare it all. I'll have a look tonight and see if any of my gadgets and gizmos still do the job.....

Happy 2015!!!
Like elsewhere in the electronic land I'll not wish people a "Happy New Year" but rather a peaceful, content and rewarding year with the rough edges that you catch your arm on nicely smooth out. Where there are problems (this is rea…

Oh, go on then - I'm drawn back into aimed speculation. I'd like Will to lead on this one. Less formal. Old-school synthy without being overly dancey. Alison and Moog duets. Introspective and self-indulgent. There. That's my crysta…

Here's my little Christmas collage! Knocked up, literally, in 1 hour flat! Wish I had had more time, but when I'm under pressure I work best anyway! There are 7 Frapp references in the picture if you want to play! I'm going to quot…

People have often said this place is a bit boll.....er....baubles :)) Lovely stuff.

As I accidentally nailed the previous one before it came out (I'd said black&white orchestrated noir mystery, due to what I was hoping for than any insight) I'll not guess on this one yet to avoid spoiling things for you ;)

Thank you for The Eccentronic Research Council - Black ChristMass. Had forgotten all about that little Maxine Peake project! She's great, isn't she - she has a way with the passion she puts into things and having that backed by the wo…

Wonderful stuff and exactly why I started the thread. Lovelystuff, Pony - modern yet traditional and more than a bit gorgeous. Had to do a double-take on yours, A_is_A - looked like a proper posed shot to start with and it confused my tiny brain …

Praying to get out of town this Christmas but, if we get bamboozled into staying and doing the rounds, i'll be taking this music mix with me. At least we'll be assured the music will be rather odd! Corrected for you ;)

(Yes, there's one track on there with a very tenuous link but any excuse to add a certain person's early band into the collection!)

Yep, ordered on 21/11 and as of now nothing at all - no despatch email, no change when looking at the order on the site and no items in the post. eMail sent via the contact page earlier today and still waiting for a reply. Music Glue appears to ha…

I'll be doing this but having a think first - half are very easy to pick but the other half might take some internal fighting!

The Three Wise Women of 6 Music this Christmas - Alison on 26th Dec
That's the BBC for you - they're so afraid of people tuning out, hence things like voice-overs during the credits on the tv to tempt you to stay!

What`s the last film you watched ?
I really enjoyed it and yes, Cressida does indeed rock - her tattoo/shave hairstyle is most scrumptious. Ok, I'm shallow. If the first two Hunger Games films were Star Wars then Mockingjay Pt1 is definitely Empire. I liked the complete change …

They're lovely, bought and will have a Tales tote to keep them company on the way to me.

So everybody (yes, even YOU reading now) can have a go it's any type of thing - fancy paper-work photographed through to some scrawl in rubbish painting software. I reckon we'll have some great stuff.

Perhaps we should have a meet up next year somewhere to just chew the Frapp cud without having to rush off to a gig. Toyah fans continued to meet at the pub across from the Mermaid Theatre where she did Trafford Tanzi annually for some years after t…

Yeah, the vids are a great "flavour of" for those of us unable to make it. Top stuff.

With that being the last gig of the era's final tour and all singles & cinema having been done I'd wager they'll be taking their foot off the gas, getting the TOU mood out of their systems and letting the slate fall blank so they …

For anybody half following the conversation re Blue and it's "video album" component, all the vids up to track 8 ("ripple") are on her YouTube channel in 1080p with just the final two left to add. Still unsure, myself, as …

Surreal experience to say the least. Imagine being a huge fan of both Goldfrapp and John Grant for years and then this suddenly comes out of nowhere.....You got an early Christmas for sure!

Have also seen Interstellar now. I'm going to call it 'a science faction bleak-buster' Very talky. Lots of silence. A final third that made me go out and buy the Kip Thorne "Science Of Interstellar" book - 336 pages of expl…

Could I ask a huge favour? Could somebody possibly buy an extra programme (ie those lovely white ones Alison is currently pimping at her house) and I shall pay you back with real money and virtual hugs? I can't make it but that would give me a …
