Goldfrapp - Head First - Limited Edition Transparent Magenta Vinyl
I'm also getting it, but do wish, as BMG has done with some other back catalogue reissues from other artists, that a new accompanying remix single or EP had come with it. I can tell you the title track finally being released as a single would h…

FLAC (for a newbie)
I don't aim quite as high as I once did (Beyer Dynamic this, and Etymotic that, etc), but do use a DAC with my phone on the go. With it, I get an improved experience, even if not an ideal one. I have two from FiiO that drive my IEMs far better …

Erasure
Should I lift my head a bit or keep it down?

I hang my head in shame!

Rescheduled gigs for Felt Mountain 20th anniversary tour
I do wish there was at least a tease of a US leg. I can be kept interested with some teasing. ;)

Erasure
Update: Well, The Neon (album) happened, they're currently on tour, and now an EP called Ne:Ep. As for that EP, there's a track on it that struck me as perhaps veering a little more towards Will's style, synth-wise.

Selling some Goldfrapp posters
I take it the pictures were removed? (Would have liked to see them)

Recent and upcoming gigs
B-52s/OMD/Berlin and also Howard Jones/Men Without Hats/All Hail The Silence are making the rounds in the states now. Gotta say, I'd prefer a full set of OMD and separate shows for HoJo and MWH too. Ah well.

Goldfrapp Collections (you know you have them ;) )
Hmm, those are the pressed button badges, yeah? Unless you're a stickler for having the original for completism, these are easily produced at home, and, sadly(?), eBayers make and sell reproductions of these types of badges constantly (not sure…

Goldfrapp Collections (you know you have them ;) )
I'm curious what material differences there are between the (EU) gatefold vinyl of Tales Of Us and the one present in the boxset. For instance, I see hype stickers on the separate edition, but not on the box set version. (Not needed, I suppose,…

Silver Eye Deluxe Edition
goldfrapp actually isn't all that guilty of overkill in this respect at all compared to many other artists these days - just look at how many editions kylie or other more "veteran" artists put out for their new releases, with all sort…

Live recording/bootlegs
We should all chip together and get you an FTP server. ;)

Might have been said already, but Ocean and Moon In Your Mouth would have settled in quite nicely in the Blade Runner 2049 soundtrack. I think it just becomes more obvious now. ;)

Sexy Women
I used to find Leigh attractive, and technically she still is (immortal in celluloid), but her life was so sad, that it's all can think about when I see her.

Entertain me! (the twisted & disturbing are welcome)
It's funny to see a line was drawn in that the trigger had to be above the hem of the shirt rather than below.

Quality of the new single re-issues
I always assume such Mute reissues are at the behest of BMG. If it seems like monetization, look to them. If new and original, look to Mute. Incidentally, this year's RSD Yazoo and Erasure reissues are all BMG, as was Felt Mountain before.

Likewise. Looks like I picked the wrong time to start sniffing glue. WeTransfer is rather easy to re-upload to (He said to anyone who originally downloaded it), as is Mega.nz, Zippyshare, etc...so very easy (His eyes welling up as he types...)

Missing Persons
I'm not looking through 36 pages, but would I be hurt by not seeing my name mentioned?

Which Silver Eye tracks have they yet to play?
Good coverage of the album so far. If only Head First popped back into a setlist, but that's for another thread...

How do you feel today?
No one mind me crawling about. I don't need any sympathy.... ;)

US Tour Dates
Wish they would come back east again. How about NY again before heading home?

How do you feel today?
My left ankle, which broke well before the Brooklyn GF gigs, has been acting up again, and now I'm having suspiciously similar pain in my right, which I've been favoring to help the left heal, of course. Despite that, I'm still gonna…

Silver Eye (main album thread)
GF twitter account posted news is coming of tour dates, and Mute retweeted. My nights are filling up fast. Hope there's room for more gigs.

Enya
She's like the last surviving living remnant of a bygone era of elegance and delicacy. Really quite beautiful and it just commands respect to be honest. To be able to remain calm, composed, graceful, and fuelled by solace is quite an extraordin…

RAAAAAAANTTTTTT!!!!
Same can be said of Hugo Boss. Frankly, I was never a fan of their lines, so my declining to buy their products can't be said to be wholly due to their sordid origins. Doesn't help, though. However, it's harder to fault Bayer, despit…
