Electric Proms

Yush, just so youz all know Goldfrapp were on the electric proms on the 22nd October, I knew they were going to be there but it sortof went to the back of my brain and didn't resurface until yesterday. Sigh, oh well, I saw it on BBC iplayer, and am currently downloading it, annoyingly it only keeps for 30 days because of the shitty DMR thing or whatever. And it expires tomorrow, I think Happiness, Clowns, and Ooh La La are on youtube but I don't think the others are - Caravan Girl, Paper Bag??, You never know, eat yourself, monster love, Can't remember what else. Alison toned her outfit down a little, eg wearing the usual smock-clown-dress thing, but in black satin, with no shoes. Haha. The choir had cool deery weird outfits and WILL was there!!! It's great but sigh I hope people upload all the others. This is just a quickie postiepoo while die thingie ist downloading. ing. ing ing ing. Heh. Riiight. I'll just go now. Bye.

{ Goldfrapp }

I decided this was probably, though it is debatable, the most life-like image of Alison I own. I'm really upset because I have such a rubbish memory that, even though it was only 24 hours ago, I have forgotten nearly all of it already. However, it was the best thing I have ever seen, everything was better live and it was just SO WOW!! I think these were the songs performed:

Paper Bag
A&E
Utopia
Eat Yourself
Cologne Cerrone Houdini
You Never Know
Caravan Girl
Satin Chic
Number 1
Little Bird
Ooh La La
Happiness
Train
(then they went off ... then came baaaackk! = best moment of my life)
Monster Love
Strict Machine


The order is approximate. I wish I could remember ... the last two are right and the first two are right. And the others are approx right. I think train was last before they went off... OHOHHH yeeeahhh and she used THEREMIN!!! get in there... I don't think they performed Some people or Road to Somewhere, not sure, but I don;t think so. Besides, the above add up to 15 which is a nice round number so it would make sense. Pete Greenwood was ok but a little samey. Nice voice. Alison was ... so small and cuute. She was really sexy too, and maybe you need to be there to sense it - camera takes alot of the charm away. Not that she wasn't sex before but live.. yikes. (Her little fingers, awwww) I saw THE tatoo too... anything else to say... her voice seemed higher than usual, she sounded like a little child at times. So cute. So strange seeing her, I wish I could have seen Will too. I just want the whole thing to start over and to see it again. I'd pay a million it was a close to flawless performance the lighting was sooo cool and the beats and everything. LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE them so much. Alison looked a little diff to what I expected in a very what I expected way. Weird. She looked younger. She wore the pink outfit, which rocked. OH yeah and while I'm preserving details, her glitter was on her left cheek for a change - my right. I think. Ahhh the memory is fading. Fantastic. Sorry, Phantom of the Opera you have been temporarily (cough) demoted. BEST SHOW EVER LOVEEEEE. sigh. I'll shut up.

Sledgehammer
Yo I just felt like posting a personal favourite of mine - Sledgehammer by Peter Gabriel. It's quite long, but it's such a totally amazing song! I just love Peter G's voice love love. I find it harder to find nice male voices than female ones and Peter's is one of the few I really like - I confess, I only (so far) know and like a few of his songs but who knows maybe in the future I'll like his other stuff more. Such a feel good song, no idea why. I havn't done much plain "song posting" in a while so here one is! I hope you like it, gotta love his voice... grrr.. oh yeah and he was reeeaaally good friends with KB and there were rumours about "what was going on" according to my mum ages ago, but I am pretty sure it was just friends, she was with Del!!! Although, they do make such a peachy perfect pair! And my neighbor knows him too, hmm... I could get in contact there but I am a bit nervous. Better not. Anyway, love love song.



You could have a steam train
If youd just lay down your tracks
You could have an aeroplane flying
If you bring your blue sky back

All you do is call me
Ill be anything you need

You could have a big dipper
Going up and down, all around the bends
You could have a bumper car, bumping
This amusement never ends

I want to be your sledgehammer
Why dont you call my name
Oh let me be your sledgehammer
This will be my testimony
Show me round your fruitcage
cos I will be your honey bee
Open up your fruitcage
Where the fruit is as sweet as can be

I want to be your sledgehammer
Why dont you call my name
Youd better call the sledgehammer
Put your mind at rest
Im going to be-the sledgehammer
This can be my testimony
Im your sledgehammer
Let there be no doubt about it

Sledge sledge sledgehammer

Ive kicked the habit
Shed my skin
This is the new stuff
I go dancing in, we go dancing in
Oh wont you show for me
And I will show for you
Show for me, I will show for you
Yea, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I do mean you
Only you
Youve been coming through
Going to build that power
Build, build up that power, hey
Ive been feeding the rhythm
Ive been feeding the rhythm
Going to feel that power, build in you
Come on, come on, help me do
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you
Ive been feeding the rhythm
Ive been feeding the rhythm
Its what were doing, doing
All day and night
