reddragdivaI have discovered Goldfrapp and like it a lot. I shall be buying the CDs if their music is available on actual compact discs rather than DRM-infested cheese slices or whatever it is the record companies are putting out these days. (Mute is now owned by EMI.)
This week I have had a streaming head cold and ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif){kind=small}
arkady has had a chipped elbow. This means we have not done house cleaning here, house cleaning at the old flat, high-level negotiations with her arsey real-estate agent, much cooking, job hunting or kicking the arses of bad eBayers. redcountess has my cold and is suffering badly but has been pursuing Alf alarm clocks with vigor.
My back has been in so much pain over the last couple of days and our mattress is now so awful that I literally cannot sleep on it; tomorrow we will be gently enquiring as to the status of the supar l33t replacement we dropped near on a thousand quid on a few weeks ago. And I have much powerful reminder of why keeping up my back exercises is a good idea.

Well worth seeing live (I think there is still a London gig on their Supernature tour).

Date: 2006-04-23 07:51 pm (UTC)I knew that wasn't a great source, it was just the first one I found that would play the actual video without appearing to be infested with pop-ups. I'm looking for it on SoulSeek, I'll send it your way if I find it :>
It did play just fine for me in WMP, fwiw.

Date: 2006-04-23 10:34 pm (UTC)I used Exact Audio Copy under Wine for my ripping now. (EAC works flawlessly under recent versions.) EAC is proprietary freeware, but is under current development.

Date: 2006-04-24 10:53 am (UTC)Also, getting the songs in a lossy format from iTunes and then burning them to CD kind of defeats half the point of wanting the albums on CD.
Anyway, I generally buy any EMI CDs that have this shit on it from Amazon US. I did get the latest Goldfrapp locally in Australia on SACD, but the regular version was crippled, as was Black Cherry.
