...Tamio Okuda Comp As the Svengali behind J-pop girl duo Puffy, Tamio Okuda wrote and produced some of the freshest-sounding pop tunes heard anywhere on the planet in the late '90s.

The gap between her public exhibitionism and her private modesty makes a certain amount of sense. After all, Goldfrapp, who is the eponymous half of a duo with Will Gregory, has long been something of a chameleon. She declines to divulge her age, but admits to a convent-school upbringing, a stint in London squats and three years singing in a Belgian dance company before starting art school back in the British capital. As the result...
...month run is virtually sold out, but booking agents may be persuaded to part with certain tickets at $1,000 a pop. Or you can go to the multiplex in December and catch the duo in the movie version of The Producers musical. --By Richard Corliss...
