Re: cavaliers

i can't see that cavaliers is nearly anywhere near the best that they've
done, in fact along with Bop Art I think it's the worst. Swagger/miracles &
friendloverplane are my best, but the former I put down to Angelo and
Alex's influence who were, along with Gerard,in my humble opinion, the
musical creativity of the band.
I'm tempted by Shrewsbury due to family connections, and my birthday coming
up, but fuck me, I was singing raise the roof 3 years ago in a psychiatric
unit!!
Anyway, my favourite album of the year must be Athlete's vehicles and
animals. I'm not a big one for words/lyrics, (apart from 'you always hurt
the ones you love, but i don't think it's true...etc..)but for pure
catchiness from start to finish, that album has it.
Stuart, thanks for your support(!!!!) It's tough writing to the digest with
so many diehards-but when Bristol City are Crap-often, I tend to agree and
don't shout 'if you all hate rovers clap your hands'. I agree they are the
best live band in the world and I'm Bristolian, but do they/does he want
them to be the best band in the world?
Best
Tom

football team, where you have a squad and pick your team from whoever is

album is evidently recorded, and we played a couple of tracks from it
(Raise
the Roof High and Tree Full of Starlings), which sounded good (most of us

possibility that Alex will be working, but with Patrick and not Gerard!</P>

following on from what edward said Date: Sun, 21 Dec 2003 20:17:06 -0000
This is all dead negative but......I tend to agree with you in your
frustrations, Edward.-over releases, gigs and the web site. I think my
expectations have always been to high when it comes to the aeroplanes. I
became a fan about a 2 years before Swagger was released and managed to
catch them at Ashton Court in '88, with a truly stunning set-mostly
spitting
out miracles. As i remember nick jacobs, ruth cochrane, wojtek, angelo,
Richard Bell, Gerard and Rodney coming on at the end.I'd never seen
anything
like it before and won't ever again, for pure entertainment.- After which
came the Swagger line-up. I've written to the band(no response), been to
most of their gigs in Bristol since '88, but this year I couldn't be
bothered. I was very tempted by the thought of Angelo playing,!
> but as my better half said 'we've been to the last 3 or 4 at the
fiddlers and fleece, ashton court etc and they are always the same, still
living off the glories of the early 90's'. I tended to agree. I don't know
whether there were any live outings when the Larder sisters were in the
band
(Radon daughters), but I would have liked to have seen them involved,
something a bit different. In terms of albums, I was desperately
dissapointed with Cavaliers, which was shambolic and really didn't work
'live'. Record player was a much better offering with some great riffs,
despite the poor production quality. I don't think that the 'blue
aeroplanes' actually exist anymore as a band, with one gig a year. It seems
to just be Gerard and whoever he can get hold of at the time. God knows how
he pays the bills, I wonder if he signs on? I do look forward to hearing
the
new (old) album, hope the productions good and that there is more to come
from the 'raise the roof' house of riffs. Finall!

> <P>I think when people whinge about Cavaliers its usually about the 2nd
CD, not the first. The first is very short, and the whole package
could probably have been shoehorned onto a single CD, but I think that
Cavaliers was seen as a separate piece of work to be listened to on its
own. It evidently started life as a track destined for this currently
unreleased album that we've been going on about, but it expanded into
something that was too big and that didn't really fit in any more, so
Gerard
released it separately. I could do with giving it another listen, I
must admit. But some of CD2 was, in my humble, not releasable quality.</P>
> <P>"Some pub near the docks" sounds like the Fleece. Can't recall
ever seeing them there with Dawn & Baz, but I know I missed at least
one
Fleece gig in recent years.</P>
> <P>Gerard set up (with someone else, I believe) the Artstar
Record label and released Record Player and the Radon Daughters "Glow"
(which is very good indeed), so why he doesn't bring it out on that label
and just sort out a distribution deal I don't know. Maybe needing a
bit more to finance it than he has at his disposal. Having chatted
with ex-plane Hazel Winter about her new album, for which she set up her
own
record company, it ain't easy and it ain't all that cheap either, although
at least with the Aeroplanes there is a bit of history and goodwill
attached
to the name, which would help oil the wheels of publicity.</P>
> <P>The recording has been done in dribs and drabs over the past 5 or so
years I think, so I would assume that its been paid for as its been done,
but there could be outstanding debts too.</P>
