Thanks, error60091! It was a fabulous night. I'm still in the recovery position... In other news, a version of that picture has been chosen for the Goldfrapp Experience! Cheers, Alison X

Inspired by the new Goldfrapp photo app, I tried some double exposure thingies. This is actually done from iPhone pics in Photoshop and it's a triple, but you get the idea. David McAlmont sang Somewhere Over the Rainbow live at the Manchester P…

Black Cherry: Best to Worst
I'm amazed at the mediocre placings of the title track! I love that song!

Post your picture
Sonap and Sparky from Halloween last year. Sonap is The Eye Monster and I'm Mr. Jolly. Equally scary and entertaining, judging from the amount of people who screamed and ran away/bought us drinks.

Lyrics....(your favourite)
But oh Medusa kiss me and crucify This unholy notion of the mythic power of love Look in her eyes, look in her eyes Forget about the ones that are crying RUFUS!

GoldfrApp photo app
lol, chill Sparky! http://appshopper.com/photography/goldfrapp-tales-of-us Cheers. Sorry, I just thought: no link on Facebook, nothing in the App store. Freaked out there slightly. Not happy about the lack of controls (sliders) but it's a …

It's not all about pretty pictures. This is what happens when you give me Photoshop and my happy pill is wearing off...

The "Clay" Appreciation Thread
"Love the tragi-phoric atmosphere to this," Tragi-phoric. Give Pascho a medal for that. My new favourite phrase and a perfect summation of TOU

Who should remix the first single 'Drew'?
Here a new remix of the song: http://youtu.be/8CCUF3iP9Sw Oh. Um. Alan's right. A remix isn't about dragging something screaming onto the dancefloor.

Seventh Tardis - The Doctor Who thread
Not the worst choice, I am glad to see a more mature actor get the role, a bit of a coup for the agism accusations that have been leveled at the BBC in recent times Yes, and I'm hoping it means a Timelord with bigger balls (much as I loved M…

Tales of Us: Rank the Songs (Best to Worst)
SPOILERS APLENTY! All the tracks are earworms for me now so I'm trying not to over listen. This must be the honeymoon phase and I want it to last. 1 DREW. Cold bed, glowing memories. Impossible not to get swept away on this one. The verse is s…

Vent against SPAM here!
Wouldn't it be quicker to vet new members? Request membership and include a form asking for favourite Goldfrapp songs? Or a capcha?

Seventh Tardis - The Doctor Who thread
I was almost completely not quite right. In a wrong sort of way.@Kiyuri She actually and why not be a TV exec?? Don't know/Don't care/Sobered up. BEGIN THE MEMES! Brilliant! Thanks, Kiyuri

Seventh Tardis - The Doctor Who thread
The show is now confident enough to return to a more mature lead actor, and move on from the casting of younger actorsI was almost completely not quite right. In a wrong sort of way.

Seventh Tardis - The Doctor Who thread
Idris Elba because a hunky Doctor with an edge would be hot. But that's not really what Doctor Who is about. The bedrock of the character is an untypical hero. The show is now confident enough to return to a more mature lead actor, and move on …

@iuventus @Anoukvdm and @kaleb20 thankyou! Glad you like them. @kaleb20, I use my humble and crappy iPhone camera, tweak the colours in Tadaa (free picture editing app like Instagram on steroids) and finally use Repix to paint over my photo. Here&#…

(leak talk in this thread)
Ok get some perspective. It's not like this leak thing hasn't happened before. And the babies comment is deeply offensive on so many levels: anyone who equates the theft of music to sexual assault needs a medication review. Shouting the…

Lovely line work there, Anoukvdm! Are those Alison's eyes? I've been experimenting with digital paint... And here's the original photo...

What are you listening to now?
Scott 4 - Scott Walker, since MOJO said it was reminiscent of Tales of Us. Suck it and see...

(leak talk in this thread)
The songs are so beautiful, they stand up to any sound quality issues. The measure of their art is in the songwriting and the arrangement. EQ is not the deciding factor here. On the plus side, everyone's going to have to buy it now, leak or no.…

MOJO - Abum of the month
Yes, it gets four stars. Double page spread (pp84-85). Reviewer David Hutcheon compares it to Scott Walker's "Scott 4", which as anyone knows, is a compliment. Straight to YT to listen to Scott 4. Yes, I can see it, definitely. Al…

Premiere of 'Tales of us' at Manchester Int Festival, July 17/18 2013
Backstage goss! I bumped into an MIF photographer last night who met Alison after the first performance at The Albert Hall. They chatted and she said she was terrified before she went on, but was blown away by the reaction of the audience. I remembe…

I really hope that the leak creates a massive buzz around Tales of Us, making it their most successful album when it's finally released.

Fine, if you all want me outta here, I'm out.
Oh play nicely or my happy pill is going to wear off. And nobody wants that. Alan is one of the greatest contributors to Frappdom, and who hasn't used his jukebox in times of need? Ok that doesn't sound how it did in my head, but I'm …

Goldfrapp please correct before release:
Guys! Please. Everyone sit down and stop running around like headless chickens. It's an acoustic track. Military theme. Much strumming of guitars. With both steel and nylon strings, any movement of fingers on the neck, to change chords or notes…
