Hells_Bells, one word for you: BLUUHH. As for the chappie who has an issue with Alison's stage persona. Sorry, pal. A bit late in the game now. You'll have to find someone else to satisfy your need for a wildly animated stage performe…

Carpy - thanks from LA for the upload! What a gorgeous performance. As much as I adore it when Goldfrapp fills every available slot with layer upon layer of sound, hearing Alison's voice with the tenderest backing of plucked guitar and piano …

Can anyone upload for us US deers? Stupid iPlayer audio won't play in US.

Jimmy Fallon TV show - 26/27 Sep 2013
He must be a fan! He was ecstatic when he introduced them: "We have great music tonight, oh my gosh. GOLDFRAPP!" :P Well, to be fair, that's^ pretty much his reaction to everything in life. But, he does seem to be a big music fan …

TIME Should be noted, this is a re purposed review from Consequence of Sound.

How did you get into Goldfrapp?
Sometime in late 2000, saw the "Human" video on Much Music's "The Wedge". Much Music is (was?) a Canadian music video channel, which is (was?) carried by some US cable tv providers, and "The Wedge" was, I guess, t…

Well, it seems the fabled Rolling Stone review was a hoax. They have yet to post a review of the album. I think "hoax" might be a little strong. I assumed it was a made up review as a place holder in that tv spot we weren't supposed…

Any chance of this tour going State-side.
Given that they've toured the US behind every album from Felt Mountain to Head First, I think at least a handful of US shows next year are likely -- perhaps some US festivals like Coachella as well. It seems far more likely that we'll …

Tales of Us - Film
Lisa tweeted the following this morning: Wonderful screening of 'Tales of Us' Last night in LA! Thanks for all the love! @mute @capgun #TalesOfUs #goldfrapp @whitehouse "Last night" would have been Thursday. Anyone got the de…

Nice one on the Rupaul tweet. I wonder which other celebs have tweeted about the album. Has Kylie done so? She's a big fan. Re: The Rolling Stone review. Is it possible that what we saw was a mocked up tv ad which got scrapped? Perhaps …

There are certainly some albums which have so many immediate pleasures that they can be fully appreciated upon your first or second listen. I don't think Tales of Us is such an album. It's a cliche, but this album does really reward repe…

i recorded audio of the show. definitely not HQ, but sounds good. https://mega.co.nz/#!MBgQFKZQ!JOk9EnQqilkWk8BWIlW8n1hDjTV28qaXUlxCuC5szq8 I somehow missed this^ earlier. Thank you so much! I snuck in a quick listen of the first couple of trac…

While I disagree with the Pitchfork review, it is at least thoughtfully written. We all have artists we embrace who don't always get universal critical acclaim. I can deal with a somewhat negative review if the reviewer appears to have spent …

Thea - the elusive
I hope Thea doesn't become the "Lovely 2 C U" of this era, a cracking album track they refuse to ever play. I can understand how it might be somewhat disruptive at the Goldfrapp + orchestra evenings, but surely it will fit in well wi…

Mercury Music Prize 2013
Yeah, too bad Goldfrapp didn't make it in. The cut off date must have just passed, right, because the Arctic Monkeys album just came out. My vote's for Bowie or Blake.

Surprised at the lack of videos of the Tales of Us songs. Was security very tight during the first half of the show or were folks just so transfixed they forgot to get their phones going? Personally, I can't be bothered to do any filming at a…

New video to star Monica Bellucci?
Simone certainly seems to make sense given the wardrobe choices we've heard about. The song is about a mother whose daughter steals her lover, right? While Alison played a motherly figure in the Annabel video, somehow I don't think she�…

Nice! So glad to see that this show is still airing. When I had cable I used to catch it in the US on Ovation and then BBC America, I think. Being one of those millennials who has cut the cable, I now depend upon the kindness of my former countr…

One of my favorite tracks. Absolutely love the shimmering synths + strings which open the track and the sinister edge just below the surface throughout the song. Really marvelous opening.

Tales of Us: Rank the Songs (Best to Worst)
I imagine that this list is going to be fairly dynamic for me given that I've only heard the album 5 times thus far. The only easy choice for me is ranking "Clay" dead last. At least for now. AnnabelDrewJoAlvarTheaUllaLaurelSimon…

Thanks. Missed that one amongst all of the nonsense non "Goldfrapp News" threads.

Do we have explanations of the origins/stories for every track? I've read explanaions from Alison of Annabel, Clay, Simone and Stranger. What about the others? Note: not requesting your personal interpretations. ;)

I hope she just meant for this particular gig. Can't imagine a Goldfrapp tour without Davide. Or Angie for that matter.

Annabel Video
AdamChineseSymbol: assume you work at Nowness? Enjoy the site. You guys have premiered some very tastefully selected music vids over the last couple of years. So, did you tell "Annabel" that he was great in the video?

Jimmy Fallon TV show - 26/27 Sep 2013
What's with the tired anti-Americanism in this thread? The Fallon appearance should be good. Fallon hosts the show Conan O'Brien hosted for many years and next year he's scheduled to succeed Jay Leno on The Tonight Show. He's a …

I suppose this is a lazy comparison, but does anyone think of the boys from The Tree of Life when watching this video? The young actors in that lovely film also give unforced, soulful performances using very few words. I think that the kid playing…

No. I don't think so, Jo_ey.

Annabel Video
I usually don't give a toss about celebrity relationships, but I'm going to have to say that I hope that Lisa and Alison maintain a long happy relationship so that, you know, every Goldfrapp video from hereon out is directed by Gunning.

You can actually get tickets below face value on StubHub and elsewhere. It's too bad they couldn't find an orchestra to play with in LA at Disney Hall or more unorthodox venue like the Hollywood Forever Cemetery -- would definitely have s…
