Heard in an interview recently that she is a HUUUGE Bowie fan.



Tits and Explosions

I'll have the pleasure next week!

Amazing voice, good tunes, definite Bowie fixation. What's not to like?

She's the only person keeping Jacko off the top spot.

With her bouffant ginger hair & strange make up, La Roux looks a bit like a female Aladdinsane.

And the set for her video,




reminds me of this:

Indeed it does. And she has two songs on her album called Quicksand and Fascination (neither are covers, however).

Her mother is June Ackland from The Bill and every time I look at this (very Guy Peellaert-like) picture...



...it makes me think:

You've got your mother in a whirl
She's not sure if you're a boy or a girl

Wow, that is an excellent photo, so many people create photoshop images which look 5hite, both technically and artistically, but that is excellent.



Looks like it could have been from the non existent video to Sweet Thing/ Candidate:

"There's a BAR at the end where I can meet you and your friend."

Yeah, that's another possible image for it. Definitely Diamond Dogs era.

Do you think it's a photo? I thought it was a painting. I must try to figure out where it came from. Sadly Guy Peellaert died last November so I suspect he didn't do it...looks like someone has done it after him.

The interview I heard was fascinating, but she definately said DB was an influence. You can see it all over her work.

Her voice is really fantastic.

I've obsessed about La Roux's Quicksand for some weeks. In For the Kill was a major one in my house for a while too. But it wore off for lack of musical backbone. I hear the songs and keep wishing a new instrument enters in some key moments...

The "minimalism" of the production is a bit disapointing, at least in the tracks I heard, sounds like the worst of the 80s. At first I was enthralled by her voice, but I find the songs seem too naked, too bare, they lack sophistication, a bass, a guitar here and there or more robust keyboard and synths arrangements............

I'd like to see them expanding and becoming a trio, or a quartet. Add some musicians there....... At any rate, I think they do have attitude and I'm curious about their development.

I'm not sure of my verdict having just watched 'er?

She was late on stage ( a 'hairspray issue' apparently ) and I must confess, she did a couple of great songs, but overall, she didn't grab me like Ms Goldfrapp did at first.

This jury needs a little more persuasion...

"she didn't grab me like Ms Goldfrapp did at first."

Oh la la! ...and exactly where did Ms Goldfrapp grab you ...? Your ass? Your lady lumps?

Yours in anticipation....

I reckon Sweety grabbed her by the Goldflaps and.....

well you can imagine the resulting emulsion...!

***********

Sheesh...!

...so it's Ms Goldflappage? Didn't they do a James Bond film about this....? Closely followed by Thunderballs..?

You big lezzers are disgusting.

Keep it up.

I agree with Nibbler, please keep it up, laydees. You make BtheWW a joy to loiter in and around.
