How did you get into Goldfrapp?
I bought Felt Mountain when it was released in 2000. I feel fairly certain that I bought it as a result of the description of the music in a review i.e. beautiful, cinematic, strings etc. I remember loving Felt Mountain instantly, apart from Oompa…

Head First - Your Alternate Tracklists
If there is one album that really needs an alternative tracklisting, it is Head First. The problem for me though is, if I remove the tracks I dislike and add We Radiate + the tracks from Singles collection, I still only have an "album" …

Board fault / improvement collation thread.
This may have been mentioned, and maybe it is just an issue with the mobile site, but it would really be fantastic if you could click to view the last post in a thread. I use the mobile site mainly, and I have to scroll and click numerous times t…

Felt Mountain - Your Alternate Tracklists
I enjoy reordering tracks as well and substituting weaker tracks with b-sides. Sometimes if an artist/group released two albums in a row that is a bit mediocre, I will take the best tracks from both albums and create a new album. This was the case…

Seventh Tree.... best to worst
Being new to a Goldfrapp community, I am amazed at just how much people dislike/hate Caravan Girl. I struggle to understand what it is about the song that causes such a reaction in people. I like the melody, instrumentation, arrangement and delive…

Whats your favourite day of the week ?.
I know this might sound odd, but my favourite day of the week depends on where I find myself i.e. city/region/country. So while I don't like Sundays per se, I absolutely love Sundays in Paris. If I'm in Paris for a month or so, I always…

Seventh Tree.... best to worst
Does your name pay homage to a certain part of North London by the way? Yes and no. It's a reference to a Saint Etienne b-side called Archway People. I think (though I might be misremembering) that the song was a reference to Archway. …

Fair enough and glad we can all be different and yet comfortable with it. I am curious though if it's too sweet for you, is Grindcore or Death Metal your usual musical preference or something? ;) My taste in music is quite wide really (oper…

Just down to that old devil personal taste then really. I feel differently and like the sentiment of the lyrics very much, far from a sweet subject I would have suggested. Yeah, pretty much, and thank goodness for that. I tried to listen to it …

How do you feel today?
I got up and felt lightheaded. The dizziness comes and goes at random intervals. I just hope I'm not coming down with something... Other than that, I'm feeling quite well (emotionally speaking).

Tea or coffee?
Tea (non caffeine), all the way. But I'm very paticular when it comes to tea. For a while I have loved a certain type of fennel tea from Germany. Fennel tea from other countries (and in other countries) just aren't the same. I like t…

What's wrong with Happiness? l love that song I find it (particularly the music) cloyingly sweet and corny. You know when you've had too much sweet stuff and you begin to feel ill as a result? Well listening to Happiness gives me tha…

Kate Bush Lionheart cd album. She is soooo good. Lionheart is such an underrated/overlooked Kate Bush album. I listen to it more than The Kick Inside or Never For Ever. It is gentle and intimate at times. I really love it.

What's Your Favourite Goldfrapp Track?.
Deer Stop. I can't imagine that this will change, ever. There are other Goldfrapp songs I love, but Deer Stop is in a different category for me. It is the ultimate Goldfrapp song.

Dragon's Lair by Sunset Rubdown. I've been obsessed with Sunset Rubdown's Dragonslayer lately. I used to listen to it non-stop when it was released, and now it has found its way back. Definitely one of my favourite albums of this…

1. Deer Stop. I love every single nuance in this song. The strings, the different vocal effects, every piano stroke...one my favorite songs ever. That is exactly how I feel about it. I often think it is my favourite song of all time. Even aft…
