Goldfrapp and the Smurfs


I decided that this new Goldfrapp hippy folk thing sounded like it could be better than many people were saying. So off I trotted (well skidded - snowing again...sigh) to the record store to buy it in quaint old CD format. And it's a very, very lovely thing. So lovely I got to the end and listened to it again. Yes, it's not the amazing quirky pop we all love her for but, hey, she's Goldfrapp. It's still pop, still has choruses, still has beats - it's just quieter. That's all. Is that so bad? Go buy it or 'borrow' it. I like it a lot.

So back to the election (sorry, I'll be brief). Hillary, bless her, put out a terrible attack ad on Obama. Weirdly, can't find the original on YouTube but did find this spoof of it:  



Doesn't it show out of touch campaigning that when you search for 'Hillary phone ad', you get this? On the day the original ad first airs? It's all a bit sad. Obama has made a much better counterattack ad but Hillary is really dragging the whole thing into the gutter. She's still winning in Ohio though...

Let me leave you with this - when charity gets it very, very wrong:



Apparently, you're not supposed to laugh. Oh.
