Goldfrapp - Blog

hey everyone how are ya!?  last time i sat writing a blog i was in a cosy little hotel room in Berlin looking out of the window into the night at the fine buildings lit up in the snow. i was just thinking how georgeous everything looked when the tragic news of alexander mcqueen came through.  i stopped, went down to the bar, sat with Will and our lady form the record company and spent the evening talking about what a legend he was.  that must have been a couple of weeks ago now i guess.

we’ve been buzzing around all over the place doing press and talking our asses off.  my god, talking about yourself constantly is such a weird thing to do.  although 98% of the journalists have been very nice and enthusiastic with no major weirdos.

you’re probably wondering where the hell the ‘rocket’ video is?  there has been quite a bit of post production on this (and very little budget) so people have been working really hard  to get it to you as soon as we possibly can.  it’s nearly there…….!

also, we’re putting the band together at the moment….and we have a new drummer Daisy !  we’ll be starting rehearsals very soon, i cant wait.

Will and i are doing more interviews today and i’m gonna be doing womans hour and lauren leverne both live.  i should be used to doing all this chat by now but im getting quite nervous already!

i think that’s it for now.  it’s been quite an intense few weeks with some days seeming all a bit surreal, but its all coming together.  i know i keep saying this but i can’t wait to bloody play the music ! talk soon xxxx

hello

hello everyone, how ya doin?

it’s been a crazy couple of weeks, non-stop since i got back from my brief jaunt in italy.  we shot the video for ‘rocket’ which will be with you soon.  it was a blast!  really hope you like it.

so, as you know, ‘rocket’ was out and about before it should have been and i just want to say that, of course we knew straight away that some silly bugger had stuck it up on the net, but what can you do?!!

obviously this wasn’t the plan and i’m sorry some of you on the message board were upset by it.  i just want you to know that it wasn’t our intention and was completely beyond our control.  unfortunately this seems to happen all the time these days.

anyway, i’m really so pleased that you’re liking the track.

catch up soon, all lovexxxxxxxxxx
