Line Out - Comments on Goldfrapp - "Happiness" http://lineout.thestranger.com/2008/04/goldfrapp_happiness I gotta say, it's taken me a little while to warm up to Goldfrapp. Someone at my other job played their last album Supernature over the stereo a grip of times and it never quite struck my fancy.

You can clearly see the edit points. And I'm pretty sure that dog was digitally edited into the scene. Sorry. Still a great video though. Why is it that every discussion of Goldfrapp neglects Felt Mountain? That was their amazing introduction.
