... Can I just say Tallulah Bankhead six times and get my wish?

Madonna. Madonna, Madonna, Madonna, Ma-freakin'-donna. In anticipation for the Toronto stop on her new tour (starts in Montreal in 8 days), aside from going clinically insane on sammydress.com and ebay to get my outfit together, I've been…

How did you get into Goldfrapp?
I cannot thank you enough for your kind words. It warms my heart! Its true, music is an integral part of our lives - whether we know it or not. It can inspire us, seduce us, make us feel happy, make us feel like shaking our groove thing, and can sav…

How did you get into Goldfrapp?
My journey had a darker beginning than most of yours. Still, if you'll allow me to "spill my guts" so to speak, I'd be happy to share my story with you, as you are all like family to me now. I know it is quite long, so please ski…

I'll just leave this list of deserving artists here, in case Sam Mendes drops by for a visit: -Goldfrapp (obviously) -Stevie Nicks / Fleetwood Mac -BJORK. FREAKIN' BJORK. -Kate Bush -Kylie -Birdy -CHVRCHES -Dido. WHY HASN'T THIS HA…

I'll be the massive spoilsport here and say it's highly unlikely that Goldfrapp are working on/have been selected to provide the next bond theme. I say this not to be a d*ck but to try and not get anyone's hopes up, myself included. I…

Sorry! Can't help but get excited. For them to be hinting at being in the studio, then afterwards saying that an album would be a long ways off (as she stated on Twitter).... I just can't help but wonder what they have in the works. Could …

Bond theme. PLEASE. (And yes, I'm aware everyone thinks it is Ellie Goulding for certain, but one can dream!) If it were to happen, it would be now, given the studio sessions mentioned by Alison (which are allegedly long before any album annou…

Cody Simpson's new album, Free. He's gone indie, and I don't even recognize him. It's Bob Marley meets acoustic Fleetwood Mac. Buy it. Buy it NOW.

I have to admit, I really don't like the direction she is taking. There are maybe 2 or 3 tracks on there that stand out to me, and the rest just sound like filler, almost lacking and samey (sorry!). Hands was her best release, with such stellar…

I'm thankful it was the last album in that atrocious contract. The band felt obliged and constrained, to say the least. This is exactly why Tales of Us was created from enlisting the help of others for free, borrowing equipment, pinching what f…

Interesting thought. Is Head First anyone's favourite album? I rather enjoyed it. The title track, Hunt, Dreaming, Shiny and Warm, I Wanna Life and even Voicething were wonderfully done. I really don't understand the backlash it gets, for…

To Alison and Will.
Whatever he's on, can I have some?!! Anybody who uses the banana fairy island from Donkey Kong 64 as a profile pic MUST have good taste! Care to share your hidden stash of crystal coconuts with the rest of us, Banana? :-\"

Excellent question which I have been asking for years, unfortunately the only answer I've found so far is, life is unfair. Agreed. Sucks more than a toothless hooker. ... And no, I have no experience in the matter. I have family who might, bu…

Goodness, Slippage, I like the way you think. So, you say, Hope they get featured on Apple Music, because lord knows they need the advertising and income from it. Who needs the money and advertising? Goldfrapp or Apple? A Bond movie would just …

They usually don't take too long to record. Alison normally doesn't go into studio mode until she and Will know in some manner what they want to achieve. Normally. We know for sure that (for some time perhaps) they've been in the stud…

I'm wondering if ToU turned some people off, maybe. This. Exactly this. Hoping they do something with a little more... octane, this time around. I absolutely adored ToU, but quite honestly nobody makes electro-dance music like the almighty &#…

Do you have a particular Madonna forum you would suggest, Slippage? The one on the official site is quite good (under "community"). I believe you need to be an Icon member to access it, though. Only reason I did pay was because it gave m…

Wow, it has been pretty quiet on here - I had been busy on Madonna's forums lately and hadn't come here often due to the lack of anything new going on (which I'm sure is the main culprit - we've been in "waiting for new albu…

New Florence album arranged by Will
Queen of Peace is my favourite track on the new album. You can feel Will's presence on it in the deep, groovy bass and strutting guitar riffs, not to mention the brass. Oh, that brass. I hope Goldfrapp gets down a bit and makes another up-tempo…

They seem to be completely immersed in studio mode, thank god. Alison composed a simple, yet effective tweet accompanied by a picture of a busy little bee. This is what it said: Working I screamed.

I do know Alison and Will were turned down for Casino Royale because the producers wanted something "more butch", which resulted in that atrocious Chris Cornell song. I'm unsure if the band approached the producers or vice versa, but …

I agree, Smith is getting to me (although I can't say I blame him personally, he's quite a kind person). I'm amazed Kate hasn't done it yet. And wow, I didn't remember Shirley doing three! Gah! My mistake. My dream perf…

I think it will either be Goldfrapp, Kate Bush (due to her recent surge in popularity from the concerts) or Sam Smith (grammy hoarder extraordinaire) . Adele is out - they never use an artist twice for a Bond film.

Cairo. Go check out their new album, it's amazing. Okay, it's not as amazing as THIS BABY, but damn close:

Crystal Castles broke up. Maybe some fresh blood is what Goldfrapp needs. Imagine Alison singing (Thea or Twist style) amongst a forest of chiptunes and hard, crunchy synths. Then again, they could go the route with their song "Celestica" …

I remember seeing somewhere that they had approached the Bond team for Casino Royale, but they wanted something "more butch" at the time, which then turned into the Chris Cornell song. I do hope Alison and Will aren't discouraged and …

Live footage from MIF/Albert Hall, 18 of July 2013
I believe they did film the entire iTunes festival (2010 or 2011) HF performance. It's all on youtube- mind you, divided up as separate videos for each track they performed.
