A few weeks ago we featured Goldfrapp and Strict Machine as a Friday OT and I was left wondering about the sound.

And so, like you do, you go check the old song out to see how the years have treated it. The answer is well, so it’s today’s Friday OT:
And gotta love Shirley Manson. No compromise, no flimflam, no messing around, straight-up kickass singer. Success is hers, but she’s still highly underrated as an artist.
