Alison and Will are musical geniuses in my own point of view.<br /><br />Btw, she was largely inspired by Linda Perhacs for the album.omarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09073639985232237805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2430710325284250743.post-85363640203863091052008-11-21T09:06:00.000-05:002008-11-21T09:06:00.000-05:00You know, professor, I edited and re-edited this p...You know, professor, I edited and re-edited this post so many times that I ended up burying the fact that Enoch Pratt Free Library already has a copy. The CD that the woman at Mute sent me is still sitting on my desk in its shrink wrap. Who knows... maybe I'll open it and listen to "A&E" again.taotechuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18275520227023393969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2430710325284250743.post-54892782801256183112008-11-21T02:49:00.000-05:002008-11-21T02:49:00.000-05:00I haven't heard of them or heard them, but in the ...I haven't heard of them or heard them, but in the spirit of your blog are you going to donate the disc to the Enoch Pratt Library, to retrospectively sanction the review here?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2430710325284250743.post-2033061955666665492008-11-19T20:24:00.000-05:002008-11-19T20:24:00.000-05:00I dunno how much of an indie twee hipster I am, si...I dunno how much of an indie twee hipster I am, since I don't go running to find the songs they use in ipod commercials, and I don't think Kate Nash is any good. My twee indie tastes, namely owls and belle & sebastian, have some long history. As does my morbid fascination with Karen Carpenter.Master Ciananhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09116684931603193909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2430710325284250743.post-45028724948684516722008-11-19T16:50:00.000-05:002008-11-19T16:50:00.000-05:00Furries?

The first time I listened to it I didn't like it much - A&E was the standout - but after 10 listens I think it is the possibly the best I've ever heard. Alison Goldfrapp's beautiful voice plus Will Gregory's multilayered arrangement make for a very special experience.swarfegafingershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03322790049986073316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2430710325284250743.post-33183058631757538792008-11-18T21:55:00.000-05:002008-11-18T21:55:00.000-05:00That's a good way to put it.

I would picture this being right up the indie twee hipster's alley.taotechuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18275520227023393969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2430710325284250743.post-23801938129740206032008-11-18T21:49:00.000-05:002008-11-18T21:49:00.000-05:00Chuck, I'm gonna strangle you.

What I did omit from my previous comment, though, was that I've never listened to goldfrapp, although I've heard them. And despite my above mentioned musical predilections, it never really did much for me, and I can't actually recall the tune to any of their songs. I think in goldfrapp's case, the whole is less than the sum of its parts.Master Ciananhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09116684931603193909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2430710325284250743.post-10002849400388643142008-11-18T21:27:00.000-05:002008-11-18T21:27:00.000-05:00Interesting that you fail to mention your affiliat...Interesting that you fail to mention your affiliation (or lack thereof) with the furries.

I have hanging in my living room a fine collection of tall ship paintings, and some lovely 70s owl stuff as well. I rather enjoy Belle & Sebastian, as well as AIR, and I do own "If I were a carpenter".<BR/><BR/>Maybe I should start listening to goldfrapp.Master Ciananhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09116684931603193909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2430710325284250743.post-71316469358043381532008-11-18T20:14:00.000-05:002008-11-18T20:14:00.000-05:00You mean that's not a given?You mean that's not a given?taotechuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18275520227023393969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2430710325284250743.post-60214872283518156452008-11-18T17:58:00.000-05:002008-11-18T17:58:00.000-05:00Don't forget loving Steely Dan as a prerequisite f...Don't forget loving Steely Dan as a prerequisite for having bad taste!!!!!!!!!!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
