The song is called "Everything is Never Enough." A man is running endlessly, refusing to sit down though he is exhausted. He is chasing wealth. Though it touches him and presents itself to him, he cannot capture it because all he sees are …

While cuddling my ( now deceased) baby hedgehog the other day I was struck by how human like and perfect its rubbery little five digit hands and feet were. Wah! Had a fledgling blackbird in the garden yesterday that must have failed it's maide…

Alison responded to a tweet about the chair "a callback to Lovely Head's video?" with: "more of a continuing theme...I'm obsessed with them"

Is that a Lovely Head reference? Ha! I reckon so - and that's still my favourite Frapp video

next single: Ocean or Everything is Never Enough?
I don't think it's meant to be "read". There's no allegory or metaphor, and certainly no narrative - in contrast to the ToU videos, which I never liked precisely because they are too programmatic. The Silvereye vids seem to …

Nothing to do with song as far I can see, but the colours and imagery are gorgeous.

It takes a lot to get me moving these days, but I played Everything in bed last night and started dancing. Meanwhile, Systemagic is on the no-play list until it recovers from being the BMW ad soundtrack

I really am starting to fear that we will see fascists organising in the UK as openly as they are doing in the US. And today we hear that a bunch of soldiers serving int eh British Army have been arrested on suspicion of being members of neo-Naz…

I truly don't understand how economists cannot prove what a disaster wealth inequality is and how bad it is, eventually, for economies. It is repeated so often. When the many lose wealth and the very, very few amass the overwhelming bulk of …

My garden Sparrowhawk caught a Starling who was just a bit too busy squabbling with its neighbour this morning, in typically spectacular, but efficient, fashion. A couple of Magpies were after her in seconds but she made off with her prize. A Sp…

The whole "race" thing is getting to me. It seems that this is increasingly being talked about as if it was an objective thing, rather than a social construct. "Which race is better at maths?", "Which race is most attractive…

Ah well, I guess I'll have to save my savouring of tea for another lifetime. There's no way I will ever appreciate it as well as it deserves in this lifetime. To me, coffee is not something savoured, unless you put all that junk in it w…

How do you feel today?
Particularly depressed this morning. The result of too much time on the internet. It really is a bad place. For my sins, I am quite active at the moment on a Higher Ed forum, where mental health issues are increasingly starting to dominate the discu…

The thing is though- did she herself block me or some PR person. I don't do Twitter, but I can see that she has about 50,000 followers. Presumably, she follows loads of people too? And she does Instagram too? I imagine that means she receiv…

The one and only. Alison Goldfrapp herself. I'd counsel trying to shrug it off, serenity. After all, it is very difficult to know what was behind the block. Maybe your tweet was misread or misinterpreted. Maybe she felt fragile that day. After…

Kat - gutting when that happens. You did your best and as you say, that's how these things go. Most baby animals don't survive the first year of life and go to feed some other creatures instead (your choice of melancholic yet uplifting mus…
