Diving "Head First" into Spring with Goldfrapp
By Nicole on April 1, 2010 in mp3blog
I had the good fortune of spending a considerable portion of my spring break in Los Angeles, California, and had the delight of being exposed to the city's wealth of friendly sunkissed beauties who seemingly have no jobs and take daily leisurely lunches eating fish tacos and gourmet burgers alongside the beach. Despite its ideal climate, wonderful fresh food, guilt-free approach to consumerism, proliferation of self-serve frozen yogurt shops, and captivating natural and urban landscape, the negative associations people have with Los Angeles and traffic proved itself true.
However, my tour guide, West LA goddess, Helen Grossman, had a copy of Goldfrapp's recently released "Head First," in her car's CD player. This concisely wrought album of space age bubble gum pop synths and infectious disco revivalism proved to be the perfect counter to the unavoidable reality of traffic, and augmented my sense of liberation from Carleton's rigorous academics and harsh wintry climate. My return to Carleton has been marked with unseasonable warmth and bountiful sunshine and Goldfrapp's unwavering optimism has allowed me to seamlessly transition into life back in Northfield.
I'm feeling alive again and I'm a believer in you now.

Excuse, that I can not participate now in discussion - it is very occupied. But I will return - I will necessarily write that I think on this question.
