Hi all,
Wow - all this correspondance - great stuff. Shame I've missed most of it as my mum is in hospital and I've finally got a chance to log on.
T-shirts - Gerard mentioned the "Are you or have you ever been...." t-shirt when I did the radio interview with him the other week. I don't ever recall seeing one either, but I guess I must have. Definately put me down for one if it happens!
Rough Music - it is a good album, but no-one has mentioned Worry Beads - possibly Rodney's best moment in the Aeroplanes. A great live one too. Wond'ring Wild seems to borrow the apostrophe from Jethro Tull's Wond'ring Aloud for some reason. Haven't played the album in a while, so will have to get off the Byrds Younger Than Yesterday trip that I currently seem to be on and give it another spin.
Should make it to Gerard's gig barring them deciding to ship mum back home from hospital that day. I know PV2 - how are we all going to recognise each other? Red carnations are just so yesterday....
Hazel Winter has a gig coming up at the Folk House too. The new album Death Row Bride is officially out in October, but I wouldn't be surprised if its available at that and the other gigs she's got coming up. I've just received a pre-release copy and its excellent. The gig she is doing later in September at Il Bordello with another ex-'plane Ruth Cochrane sounds like it'll be a belter too.
Hopefully see some of you on Friday.
