just for shits:
in PASTE magazine #5, an interview with pete yorn.  while discussing the
usage of loops and various electronic devices in the recording process, the
magazine states "Yorn wanted to keep things real in the studio and not rely
on audio frippery to get his point across."
apparently, frippery is making its way into the lexicon.
