This is Goldfrapp
The title was an awful pun on "This is Spinal Tap."
Much as we laugh at decadent, moronic hair metal bands that were like Spinal Tap in real life (Motley Crue, Ratt), consider Alison Goldfrapp's recent description of life on the bus with the band during a Q&A for BlackBook magazine.
Alison Goldfrapp: It's quiet weird because I've just been on tour and the entire band spent all their time on their laptops, none of them talking to each other.
Not such a big deal that they spend their time on laptops. But not talking to each other? The office is crazier than the life of an indie band! At least people yell "Dude, check this out" over the cubicle walls at the office and send each other viral videos of Saturday Night Live rap videos. Although I think this blog post will create an equally humdrum response in the office and on the tour bus.
