Techno's newest veteran

Our beloved Goldfrapp has turned to her roots.



Similar to her first album, Felt Mountain, Her newest album Seventh Tree mirrors her original slow pop style. The great thing about it is that we can really hear her beautiful voice - it maintains more than ooh-la-las - but I'm gonna miss the tip toes, trains, twists...number ones. Goldfrapp: go through your Celine Dion phase quickly please. We want more than woman-Barry White.

Listen to "Cologne Cerrone Houdini"...and theres about one thing you should be doing as this song plays, that is, if Burt Reynolds hasn't already played it in Boogie Nights.

Key Track:

Goldfrapp - Cologne Cerrone Houdini

Key Nostalgia:

Goldfrapp - Strict Machine (We Are Glitter Mix)

I skipped September, didn't I? so much has happened, baby.

Where can I start????

I saw Animal Collective again at Webster Hall on September 30th, and it was great, except for The Scientist's fury at the techies--it was too bassy on stage?? Whatever. Panda Bear was so sweet nonetheless.

I can assure you that I have been prodigiously leaping from mood to mood in the last month, and I need this consolation badly. Let me know what you think...OH! and it was my birthday on September 19th! Now I can read Seventeen magazine and truly identify with the issues! Jeeeeez

mood 1: Pensive/Maudlin/Sentimental

All Wrong - Black Kites
Lake Michigan - Rogue Wave (no teasing)
Tahiti - Bat for Lashes

mood 2: Crazy/Ecstatic/Happy/Speedy
