So, what is the word on the new CD.

Damn, living in the US is awfully difficult for fans ( or rather fanatics 
) of the Aeroplanes.

  Subject: [Blueplanes] Gerard!


  I was in Totterdown Tesco Express but just an hour ago, queuing up to 
pay for my stuff, not really paying attention to anything, thinking of my 
impending cycling holiday, when the bloke behind me sort of leans round 
and peers at me. What the f-? I think. Then comes a tap on my shoulder, 
and I turn my head to be presented with the be-shaded, florid, moon-face 
of - Gerard! "Oh, hello Gerard, what are you doing here?" I blurt out. 
Stupid question! He's shopping! "Avoiding calls," he tells me. Apparently 
the Aeroplanes are meant to be playing a football "stadium" in Clevedon 
and he doesn't want to get roped into it. We had quite a long chat - it 
was quite a long queue. He told me how Wojtek once cycled from London to 
Bristol to knock on Gerard's door. We chatted about Robyn Hitchcock, who 
is playing Bristol in December, and how Robyn's backing group of 2 years 
ago contained some ex-Aeroplanes (Tim Keegan and AN Other) - no surprise 
really cos isn't everyone an ex-plane? I'll ex-plane later etc... No news 
of any gigs - I asked about the Xmas gig, Gerard didn't know anything. I 
didn't ask about the album.

  Oh and he was buying, at 11 o'clock in the morning, two bottles of red 
wine.
