Goldfrapp
 
One of the best bands of the last decade? Yes.

I almost started shitting rainbows and butterflies when I first heard Seventh Tree.

Alison's like an attractive, vocally gifted version of Madonna.

Please, the majority of you tell me they suck straight away, so that the few people who agree with me can discuss.

I really enjoyed their first album. I haven't listened to them for quite some time though.

Ok, I'll get my "she sucks" out of the way now so you can continue.

Haven't we all? They're okay I guess but just kinda 'there' to me. Nothing I'd run out and buy or ever think to put on...kinda like Air I guess.

"Black Cherry" is an amazing song

That's just like in Home Alone, when Kevin says, "Goodnight, Kevin!"

I don't think that first record she put out is too bad (I don't know the others), it's jus that 'coffee table' seems like a term that was invented to describe her music.

_slavo_ 07.06.2009 04:03 AM

Actually, yesterday, while driving, I was talking about this with my girlfriend because we had the radio on and some nu-jazz or something was playing. She told me that it's that kind of music that's suitable as a background soundrack for sitting in a café, chatting to your friends and not letting yourself be too bothered by the music. Which is true. But putting it on in your home stereo with the intention to actually listen to it? No, thanks.

loubarret 07.06.2009 05:30 AM

I like them, but yeah it's this kind of music that comes on the radio and you think that's nice and never think about again

Felt Mountain is a great album. I really love the mix of Morricone and Portishead on that one. I haven't cared too much about their stuff after that, though there are a handful of good tunes.

Green Magnesium 07.06.2009 10:25 PM

Seventh Tree is like a softer expansion of the sounds and themes of Felt Mountain. It's so pretty. The two middle Albums are pretty much glam-rock meets club music. (I prefer the first and most recent).

I find them to be a very diverse and satisfying act and far from background music, as I've lately been playing their pop/rock stuff in the car and their folk stuff at bedtime. Their melodies are gorgeous and their songs are overflowing with hooks.

In honor of summer:

Is there any way to ban specific posters from my threads?

What could be so suggestively offensive about two beautiful women spewing forth life's liquid into one anothers mouth? Its what came up when I google "Goldfap''.....

Green Magnesium 07.06.2009 11:42 PM

Firstly, it's spelled Goldfrapp. So you should have started a 'Goldfap' thread of your own in which to display that drawing.

Secondly, I'm not necessarily offended. I love swallowing my boyfriend's cum. So if, from now on, I were to associate Goldfrapp with cum-guzzling I would probably love their music even more.

I just don't enjoy having my threads derailed by childishness. You are banished!

Their is nothing ''childish'' about semen, I can assure you. But fair enough, fair enough.

I was surprised by Felt mountain as it was far better than I expected, I haven't listened to the other albums as they don't seem to be as good.

If this post were a foodstuff, it'd be a /bHegel.
