(...and did it come with a bonus CD featuring My Nan's Neighbour's Lodger 
on backing 'vox' and Sylvia Plath playing the electric Tuba or something?  
It was like a Nick Drake Afghanistan bongo re-mix that's quite hard to 
track down, but if you mention enough silly named bands that no-ones ever 
heard of, you can get it from someone, somewhere, eventually...?  Thought 
so!  Can I also just say, I just spent bloody ages typing all this up once 
and the stupid pissin ISP timed me out.  I really, REALLY hate it when 
that happens!)
Right then, I have a scoop - which actually, is not really any kind of 
scoop at all, but it may put a little smile on some faces around the 
world... 
Gigs in Bristol on 1st July and at the Boarderline (London) on Friday 2nd 
July aren't happening.  Gerard wanted to re-issue Swagger and have a 
line-up to match, but people are busy so rehearsals for the gigs can't 
happen in time.  (You all probably already knew this, but I've been away 
for a loooooong time, so if this is old info - ignore me... or shoot me - 
either is preferable to my computer crashing after half an hours typing 
without saving!)
New album is nearly sorted, they're just waiting for the finished artwork 
for the cover which is being talked about tomorrow.  The album may be 
called, "Stars In Your Crown" (about three words too long for a Blue 
Aeroplanes album I'd have thought!).  This is also the name of a track, 
but the title track won't be on the album - very conceptual!  Least, I 
think that's what he said - he mumbles and my mobile's crap!
There WERE no plans to play Ashton Court ("They haven't asked me!" - I 
mean, PURLEASE!), but after some serious manipulation using my superior 
nagging and bribary skills, I think there's now a big possibility that 
Gerard, Rodney and a couple of others will do what they did last year (did 
they?  I wasn't there) and play in the Acoustic Tent.  Amazing what you 
can get these days for the promise of a pint of piss-water and a slice of 
carrot cake from the Organic Food Stall!  (Ashton Court is in Bristol on 
17th and 18th July, it's cheap as chips to get in and it's TOP!)
Anything else you wanna know, just ask and I will don my trilby and dark 
sunglasses and go investigating...
And remember... Lisa's ear.

Ah Nev's Room.

Now that was a band.

Michael Stipe on washboard, W H Auden on piano and cookery.

The famous Blackwatch Kilt sessions have recently been made available on 
CD 
(Welsh Trotter Napsack Label). Pretty rough mix but if you listen closely 
you can 
hear Bob Dylan's dog.

It's all yours.

Send me the money.
