Cinema event in the USA
Bit of a drama queen, aren't we? Cool your jets, man. We'll get our listings soon. These staggered announcements aren't uncommon with live cinema events -- the same thing has happened with recent live simulcasts from the National T…

Film & Live perf (cinema simulcast) - 4 Mar 2014
Why would they be surprised? The "film" page on the band's official site gives you direct links to purchase tickets from some of the UK venues. Maybe they meant they were pleasantly surprised that people were already scooping up tic…

Angie Pollock
Oh how lovely to hear Angie's lead vocals for the first time. As sad as it is to see Davide (temporarily?) leave the live band, losing Angie would be crushing. Her voice just melds so beautifully with Alison's.

US Tour 2014???
Agreed, stevil. And there's certainly a precedent for it. Members of the LA Phil have backed up various indie/alternative bands at Disney Hall over the last few years. I have mixed feelings about these types of concerts. The LA Phil is on…

US Tour 2014???
Yes, yes yes, Support, support, support! I will be surprised if they don't tour the US since they've toured for every other album here going back to Felt Mountain. I imagine they could (possibly?) be in discussions for a couple of US fe…

Hopefully not, HolyOwl. Apparently the video is produced by WAVE which is a, quote, "directors' collective from Stockholm". They also have their own Vimeo channel separate from the iamamiwhoami channel. I assume this means that WAV…

Love the song and what glorious scenery they've captured. Am I crazy, or does Jonna appear to be having a memorial service for her prior iamamiwhoami work? As though she's wiping the slate clean. We see the iconic black box (most promin…

I would not have thought we'd be getting this in the US, but now it sounds like there's a good chance we'll get a screening in LA. Assume it won't be live for us given the time difference. Do we know what the concert performan…

I'm always confused by these Goldfrapp "radio edits" -- they always just bastardize the original song -- it has no room to "breathe". And we've lost the horse gallops (gosh, we can't have horses on the radio!) an…

^ Hmm, Jaxsbudgie, maybe? I don't know where he is now. Bravo, Halloween_Jack! I think you have the right fellow. Well, Jax, if you're around, come back and make us a thread of all the artistic choices you disapprove of in the Tales of…

Oh, yay! I'm looking forward to whatever "Fountain" is. I would agree with whomever said that the "live" forest concert was probably the best thing they did, but I did not lose interest after the mystery was fully uncovere…

You got me, stevil. It's me, Maus.

who knows what kind of strategic release they had planned? Perhaps it was going to suddenly appear on their YouTube channel, perhaps they were going to "give" it to an outlet with high viewership and influence (ala Pitchfork) to make the …

That's great, Jeronimooo. The other day, I first had some toast with jam followed by greek yogurt. Now that is quite a different taste. Both superb, of course! But probably having nothing whatsoever to do with the song "Lee". W…

Does anyone remember a gentleman who used to post on the "old" forum? Mid 20s. British. Artist -- quite talented with illustration/photography. He was a bit of a young curmudgeon and was not shy about sharing his displeasure with some…

Whatever, Stevil. Your friend's just lucky it wasn't Mute's lawyers, rather than simply the director herself. And, frankly, when it comes to talented artists -- Lisa G certainly proving herself to be one -- who cares how "nice&…

What a mess. Anyway, what's the name of the idiotic production company? My company's division is putting some RFPs out to production companies in the UK in the Spring. Would be good to know who to avoid.

Oh dear. I didn't mean for this to happen. @Stevil, perhaps we should go ahead and remove those links given that this is the band's official forum. Feel's a touch disrespectful. I'm tempted to watch them, but I think I'l…

So... sounds like we have no idea what the future of the remaining videos is? That's okay, I like surprises. Just wanted to make sure I hadn't missed something.

Is 'Yes Sir, I Can Boogie' available anywhere in 2013?
You lot are too funny. Yes, I know what the Recycle Bin is -- ha. I'm afraid this small folder of rarities/b-sides etc. is permanently deleted. If only it were that simple. Ping - thanks for the upload, but the link appears to be bad. An…

Sartori - I think you're being a bit over-sensitive. That review was largely VERY positive. Those of us lucky enough to have seen Alison in concert many times, are probably more fine-tuned to her on stage persona and how she connects with her…

Hello, David Baxter: I like long walks on the beach while listening to Goldfrapp. Also, I'm double-jointed.

Hammersmith Apollo - 1st Nov 2013 - Who went ?
Sounds like a great gig. I'm visiting the UK in late November, missing the chance to see the band on their home turf by only a couple of weeks! Ah, well, I'm sure we'll get an LA gig next year. So, a couple of really important que…

Yeah, sure, but it's not an "either/or" proposition.

How do they get away with these short sets at this stage in their career? It's not like they only have 1 or 2 albums to select from. Shame.

Oh, snap! I tried doing a search on this annoyingly set up board, but didn't find a thread. Thought it was odd.

Halloween Jack and Carpy - Thanks much for the uploads! What absolutely wonderful performances. Band and strings sounded splendid and Alison was pretty much perfect (but what's new there?) I know they've been at it a while but the people…
