not when i saw her. She twatted around in her nan's pants trying to look kinky while some bored dancers wondered if it was nearly over and the band looked like they were doing their tax returns.

so is it because we're young? or because we're old farts?
you're blowing it, hollis
i loved the first album, liked the second album, went to see them live and they sucked. no stage presence, no audience interaction did nothing new with the songs, it was just like sitting in your room listening to the CD (which i havent done since the gig - it was that bad)

Did she do that bit where she humps around on the Alsatian as well?
I dunno, i wandered off to watch some paint dry after a while.

It's harldy ground breaking stuff. The filmic first album is better than the latter two glam rock synth stomp albums - but they are'nt too bad either.
She ain't no sexy symbol mind - with or without the tail.

I'm seeing Goldfrapp live in a couple of weeks. Quite looking forward to it as I like some of their tunes. Not being rude but I think people on here might be too old to like Goldfrapp, not the other way around.
Worra load of rubbish that is. I can hardly tell you the number of kids on my bus wishing for an 80s revival, pounding out the Goldfrapp from their mobile phones. Or maybe not - I reckon Hollis is more her target market.
She's a bit of an irritating one trick shetland pony that Goldfrapp, albeit one dressed in 80s garb. About as youthful in appeal as our Cliff.

Goldfrapp is as 'difficult' as the Sun Tea Time quickie

Well her target market certainly ain't youthful people. I reckon she's aimed at the same market as Dido - supper club stay at home 'socialites' who reckon the 80s twang adds 'edge' to their dinner parties. It's all so 'simply referential' dahling...
My arse. File under Katie Melua and other twee acts.

Hollis said:Yes - and that's what you were going to 'burn' me.. modern stuff with an 80's synth sound..
Oh yeah, like The Hacker.
I have made a note in my notepad and will see to the matter. I can't promise anything quickly (perhaps you have been waiting a year already) but it is in the notepad... which is a start.

bloody furious
Some interesting influences, from the BBC profile.
"She came into contact with the UK soundtrack composer, Will Gregory in the late 90s and the pair found a shared interest in various kinds of music such as 60s French pop, Weimar Republic cabaret as well as movie soundtracks and electronica. A dramatic, emotional sound can be heard in their work, which combines avant garde production and electronics with traditional musical values. "
