Goldfrapp's "Rocket" Video

Posted by YoungCreature / at 9:11 AM / / 4 comments

The video for Goldfrapp's Rocket was released a couple of days ago and features Allison Goldfrapp blasting a person (in a duck tape mummy suit) off into space. There are also some futuristic dancing girls and lots of purple sky. Who knew a song about sending someone away on a rocket would result in a video where someone is sent away on a rocket? Deep. Either way, the video is nice to look at and it has a sense of humor, so I'm not a hater.



Rocket comes out March 8 and you can pick up Head First March 23 on Mute, but check out these sweet remixes RIGHT NOW.

I have a very boring life. I go to work, I go home, more often than not, homegirl is hittin' the j more than the books (unless the book is a Calvin & Hobbes collection). It's all very boring. Until I go to sleep.

Ladies and Gentlemen, last night I think I had THE gayest dream ever. Even gayer than my dream about taking over Baby Spice's body. Even gayer than that time I dreamt I was in Mortal Kombat and woke up to the sound of my fist punching the wall next to my bed. Guys and gals, last night I had the dream to end all dreams.

I WAS HANGING AT A PARTY WITH AMERIE AND DIVINE PERFORMING ONSTAGE FOR WHITNEY HOUSTON. It was pretty special. Of course I'd have a dream about hanging with "nobodies". Uh, last I recalled Divine is a goddess. And Amerie is uh...well, a B-list diva. But whatever, "1 Thing" is still my fucking jam. Anyways, the dream ended with me and Divine in a corner doing shots and trash talking everyone. I only wish that could be the life I lived.

However, I don't think I can take credit because right before I went to bed, I watched this crazy:



And this crazy as well:

If that came anywhere near me during a performance, I would literally die. The consequences of dying are far more lenient than Whitney Houston all up in my face. Anyways I know you all just want music and not insight into my weirdo life.

A couple of days back a new video was posted to the iamamiwhoami youtube account. Since we posted last time I think everyone has pretty much ruled out Goldfrapp as an option. Rocket doesn't fit the sound of the clips and the Head First album cover couldn't be more different from the look in the viral videos.



Although Christina Aguilera's publicist denied iamamiwhoami has anything to do with her, everyone still seems to be convinced she's behind it. Given the fact that the blond woman crawling through mud could easily be Xtina and that everyone knows she's worked with Ladytron and Goldfrapp, it doesn't seem too far off. BUT...Christina's first single from Bionic is set to be a song called Glam which is supposedly "a poppy, hip-hop inflected throwback to Madonna's Vogue." ???????? HOWEVER...if you get real nerdy on it and decode the numbers as letters and use the dots as spaces it spells out "I T S M E BIONIC". I love viral mysteries!

Let's just imagine for a second though that it's not Christina Aguilera. The internets are speculating alternatives such as NIN, MGMT, Lady Gags, Bjork, The Knife, Fever Ray and Aphex Twin, just to name of few. But what if it were someone less obvious like The Golden Filter? Mysterious, blond, nice looking videos, new record coming soon, the cover for the record matches the imagery....just a thought.

Here are some songs and videos to keep you thinking. We'll keep you updated when iamamiwhoami posts more!

Ladytron - Ghosts

The Golden Filter - Thunderbird

Listen to the clip on Amazon Germany. I will say the full song has leaked and it is going to kickstart a great 2010 for Goldfrapp. You guys can put in the work to find it.

Nevermind. They took it down. But feel free to JO over the cover art.

EDIT: We found it and here it is for you!

Goldfrapp? Xtina?

Allison Goldfrapp released the cover artwork for the new Goldfrapp album Head First on her blog yesterday. That would normally not be very newsworthy, but with all the speculation that the creepy viral videos floating around on the interwebs are teasers for her new album, this image may disprove the theory.

If you haven't seen the videos, they are dark and seemingly high budget clips featuring sexually aggressive tree licking, owls, lots of mud and sort of animal birthing something. Obviously that imagery seems to contrast with the pink and blue-Allison Goldfrapp's head in the clouds look on the album cover.

So if the videos aren't promos for Goldfrapp's Head First, who are they for? Another idea is being talked about on the net is Christina Aguilera. Everybody knows by now that she's working with some AMAZING producers (Ladytron, Sia, M.I.A., Santigold, Goldfrapp, Tricky and maybe even Le Tigre!) on her upcoming album, so maybe the dark new promos are a preview of another new image for Xtina? 

For all I know they're actually promos for Mtv or Lady Gaga or like Volkswagen, but it's fun to speculate that they're associated with something good! 

Here are the videos and a couple of older Goldfrapp and Xtina songs to get you thinking! 

Goldfrapp - Strict Machine (BlackStrobe Italian Fireflies Bootleg)

Christina Aguilera - Genie 2.0

The world wide web is being weird today so I had to sit around for 5 minutes trying to remember what we did before Blogger made all the picture HTMLs for us. Oh yeah, I forgot about Photobucket. Anyways...

Sometimes, once in a blue moon, I like to test the limits of my mind by attempting to listen to really long songs. I was really convinced spring of '07 that I had ADD so since then it's always test test test the mind, cause you know, a long song for me is anything past the 2 minute and 30 second mark. I'm trying to resmart myself. And secretly, and I'm telling people cause NOBODY told me if you break down the song in your head into like, 3 counts of 3 minutes, it's totally just listening to 3 songs. In 1. You can do it. BUT NOT WITH TOMMIE SUNSHINE BROOKLYN FIRE DUBS. That's a story I'll tell later.

It helps NOT to listen to narrative story songs about something smart or whatever. I love Nick Cave, but I cannot listen to "O'Malley's Bar" straight through. EVER. Bitch needs a smoke break halfway through. Remixes can be easier to swallow, if it's an interesting remix and if it upstages the original somehow. Those stupid ass like, faux 12" extended mix things never fail to grind my gears. Cause half the time, it's just like, 4 bars repeated for 18 minutes. Homegirl wants more than that, so you gotta find something GOODZ: 70's gay disco anthems, DFA mixes, stealing hip songs back from the hipsters (Haus Of Jealous Lovers), and then if you just want to break all those rules, Of Montreal. Doesn't matter what, cause their albums are all 1 song with 32948242 different parts mashed together and that 1 song has like, a gabillion other parts too.

Also here is my stupid person tip: For whatever cosmic reason there is, all these longs songs seem to get real cute around the 3 minute mark.

My faves:

Goldfrapp - Slide In (DFA Remix)

The Juan MacLean - Happy House

Studio - Out There

Pink Skull - Marangatang
You can download this as well as other songs on their official website

Sylvester - You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)

Sleater-Kinney - Let's Call It Love

When I was living in London for a short bit, I would tune into a little Radio 1 show segment hosted by Jo Whiley called "Live Lounge". The loose concept of the show was to interview up and coming bands and have them perform their current single of choice and a cover. Often, these covers were from an entirely different genre of music, i.e. The Saturdays covering Frankie Valli or Gossip covering Kanye West. Most times the covers ruled, more often than not, they didn't do so well (Florence & The Machine, I'm talking to you and your butchering of Beyonce). After 12 years of The Jo Whiley Show, BBC Radio 1 has replaced her slot with some other girl. Whatever. Don't care about that person. Jo will be moved to a weekend slot of some sort. Anyways, this show ruled. It was pretty much my only friend besides another girl named Laura I had attended summer camp with who lived in the UK. Seriously, for 3 1/2 years on and off I did nothing in that country.

Also I remember hearing this interview she did with The Game and he was going off on how faggots weren't real men or something really gangsta and stupid and she was like WTF and went on this huge speech and apologized. This proves 2 things: Jo Whiley is kind of cool. That and The Game is really stupid and had 2 good songs and probably will never get any further than that.

Anyways, this post is a tribute to Radio 1's The Jo Whiley Show and a thank you for all the awesome music in a queer's time of isolation in some wacky country (although really, what country ISN'T wacky these days?).
