I also somehow woke up with a pretty bad headcold on Monday despite having one of my least socially active weeks in a long time. Could be coincidence, but maybe I'm just physically linked to Alison? Just think about it is all I'm saying.

What are you listening to now?
The new St. Vincent album, MASSEDUCTION. What an absolute triumph. I don't know whether to dance or cry when listening to it.

UK guys and gals - is anybody else here totally stumped as to what's behind the cult following of a certain draconian Jacob Rees-Mogg? Exactly! Mogg looks like a snooty, uppity caricature that'd you'd see on children's TV or l…

^My guess is - partly - desperation. During the election, May was exposed as ineffective and weak and out-of touch. So the Tory media has to promote someone as the anti-PC, principled embodiment of common sense in opposition to those commies and PC …

next single: Ocean or Everything is Never Enough?
Surely had to be the weirdest day of that guy's life.

I wrote that before the dates were announced! I do understand why Scottish, Welsh and Irish fans might be cheesed- I should've written UK, not England. I'll never understand their aversion to Ireland. It's right beside Britain, chea…

Goldfrapp confirmed for Glastonbury 2017
Wow, even my rock-orientated Father watched their performance and thought they were good. He was a bit confused by the dancers though lol.

Just to tie those two together, in 2000, Gove denounced the Good Friday Agreement as a ‘moral stain’, a ‘capitulation to violence’ and a ‘denial of our national integrity’. He defended the comments last year. After May and the press attempted to …

As someone from Northern Ireland who has had to put up with the DUP for as long as I can remember I can assure you that making a deal with them is possibly the worst thing they could ever do. If this ends in any way other than disaster I will be ext…

In my opinion this is one of the biggest left turns they've ever made. They've completely removed their sweeping string soundtracks and their intense poppy-ness. Songs like "Become the One" and "Zodiac Black" would neve…

why does it seem like promo's kind of dead altogether? this is Goldfrapp's most marketable and modern work since Supernature and yet... silence so quickly :( It does feel like it's died down a bit hasn't it? The fan reaction to …

What I can't understand is how a large section of the British public are sitting back and allowing the NHS; the jewel in the crown of the British way of life, to be chronically underfunded and dismantled in the way it has been since 2012. The f…

Such a shame as I had high hopes for this album. Maybe the next one will be a return to form? Can't imagine how sick artists must get of reading/hearing that at the drop of each new album, especially in the case of our eclectic Goldfrapp duo w…

The only thing better than doing something nice for someone is when that someone has a wonderful reaction to it :)

The songs are solid but are missing that Goldfrapp "oopmh" for me. I'd say it's definitely the orchestral sounds being missing. Not a lot really explodes, apart from Anymore and Ocean. There's still gorgeous moments on it bu…

Interesting perspectives, Christian. I typically play TOU in tandem with 7T, perhaps because I first listened to it walking around in the sunshine during the summer, I find it nice and airy. Felt Mountain is definitely a winter album! Drew is a l…

The problem is wider than the Tories as I truly believe that England is fucked on a deep level, but they are the immediate danger. They're at their most dangerous and incompetent right now.

Don't know if it's been mentioned in this thread but the most likely reason for Alison not being in the video is because she directed it

Ooh and about 14 remixes.... and a b side I get the feeling. They haven't done a proper B-Side since Supernature, though, more than 10 years ago. Lee was from the deluxe album and We Radiate was from a soundtrack... What a world that would …

Never ever ever understanding the fan consensus that Anymore is somehow the weakest song. Like, ever.

I listened to a bit of Coldplay from the Parachutes album today and realised just what a sack of shite they've been since that brilliant first album. Perfect example of initial fame going to your head and then getting right up your own arse. …

This song finally grabbed me. I kind of get the comparisons to Let It Take You and TOFTW but it's so much more emotional sounding.

Struggling to believe this is Alison in 1982... I really had to look at that twice. Her hairstyle for album 12 maybe? Lol.

Zodiac Black should honestly be the very last choice for a single

I did make a promise that if you made this thread... I'm from Northern Ireland, or as it is less affectionately known, "Norn Iron". (Makes sense if you know the accent). Of course I live mere minutes from the border so whether I quali…
