I just KNOW you all have been waiting with baited breath for a Goldfrapp bulletin from me. I just happened to be on youtube and decided to see if Alision & co. had released any new vids. Lo & behold there was a vid for the song 'Happiness'. It's one of my favorite songs on 'Seventh Tree'. It's a pretty amazing video too. The sheer athleticism the jumping man must have to endure to manage this t...
