Silver Eye reviews
"it may not inspire you to strip off and dance naked round a flaming pentagram come the next full moon" I like reviews that include instructions.

Roundhouse gig - March 27th
Well, I don't normally pay attention to critics, but it is nice when they recognise that GF are something special. Thanks for that review, NovaLasing

How do you feel today?
A big letter has just plopped onto the doormat. It says that I've been awarded an ill health retirement pension as I am deemed, "incapable of undertaking any paid employment". Talk about ambivalent feelings! Now I have all the time i…

Introduce Goldfrapp to your friends/family in only 20 Songs. What would you pick and why?
If its prep for a specific gig then maybe anticipate the set list and base it on that? In addition, there are a few that are never played live these days, but which are quintessential early Frapp - Sartorius - Tiptoe/Big Black Cloud (that shared …

Pretty poignant song for it too, whispered. Exactly -I still have to watch myself when its played. I bet a lot of people here have special associations with particular songs. There might have been a thread or two here along those lines once, but ma…

I remember her crying during BC on the Head First tour. It was the first time I had listened to any Frapp for nearly 5 years, as it was too painful a reminder of a failed relationship. Going to that gig was to be a symbol of my recovery. Naturally…

Era 7 Interviews
I think that's the most interesting SE interview I've seen; maybe because the French bring a different perspective to the Anglophone interviewers. "Shrapnel crazy" is great

Oxford gig - March 20th
Back home finally. The music was as previously described. The venue was the shittest in the world, though. After being allowed to get in 15 minutes early, us peeps with wonky legs etc, bowled in to find the front of the stage and the only seats w…

Entertain me! (the twisted & disturbing are welcome)
The memes that kicked this off were pretty horrible. Every morning, I used to walk my little girl to school past a life-sized sculpture of a man being tortured to death. That was pretty horrible too. Stewart Lee's right - if governments, cor…

Needless to say, this has nothing to do with Goldfrapp. Unless you want it to!

Invitations - working but max of 5 each
I still cant understand why we didn't use one of those Captcha things. That would have dealt with the spam issue and still allowed us to be open to new members.

I think you hit the key point, whispered, "by and large". There are a lot of people who are waking up to the fact that their vote counts when lunatics are running for office, so better voter turnout. Exactly. I often feel like ticking t…

I was of the impression the burning bush and it's symbolism was exclusive to the bible and it's Christian package, but if i'm being hasty then i'm being hasty and I stand corrected. It's not so much that I don't appre…

This isn't aimed at you Pawusss, but i've seen some people around the web saying similar and it just annoys me. I wish people wouldn't ruin something so potent such as music with such ornate religious shite. On the plus side, there&…
