Probably my favorite song off 'Seventh Tree.'

'A&E'- Goldfrapp

I can hardly wait for this album.

Well....

Their first album was dinner party music, the second dinner party music for swingers,and the third an electro glam stomp-y thing. Why not folk for the fourth?
I love me some Goldfrapp- and not just because we have 'Supernature' and 'Black Cherry' on constant rotation at the shop... And Alison just rules.

"People expected me to be this pop dominatrix all the bloody time, and I got quite uncomfortable with that in the end. If I turned up at an aftershow party without my costume on, for instance, people would gasp at me in horror, and that isn't nice. I mean, we weren't creating a person, we were dramatising the music. But suddenly, without me even wanting it, I became part of this trashy magazine world where everyone's too thin or too fat or too old if they're past 25, where everything's WRONG! RIGHT! WRONG! I mean, I don't go strutting around the house in my bloody horse tail shouting 'How ya doing, London?' at the neighbours, do I?" She shrugs. "Thank God that this time, the emphasis is elsewhere."

Where have I seen this before?

I am (before I eventually collapse into a raspberry schnapps and lemonade-induced "slumber)" perusing the NME's pics from the T In the Park music festival in Kinross, Scotland last summer, when I came upon this photo of the divine Ms. Alison Goldfrapp.

Ignore the freaky dancers in the background, and look at Alison's sunglasses. They're heart-shaped. Darling. But I kept thinking, where have I seen heart-shaped sunnies since then? Moschino's spring collection, that's where....

RS's Songs Of the Year

Can't say I completely agree with this list, but I'm happy to see Gnarls and two of my fav Brits, La Goldfrapp and La Allen, in the top ten.
