Re: Two bottles of Merlot later...

Not half as much fun as it is to write them!!

I'm honestly not as stupid as I make out, but somehow, when it comes to posting stuff here, it's just easier for me to waffle on about crap and act like I don't really know what I'm talking about - learned from an early age that having blonde hair has it's advantages when you only know half of something... or something!  It makes sense in MY head anyway! I have a 136 IQ in real life, me!

Yes, Fuzz Against Junk - that was it.  I guess 'Police Against Heroin' was was taken!  Nearly managed to blag a copy of Lit yesterday and it would've been signed! (...and admit that until yesterday, I didn't really get the concept of it!  It's bloody genius innnit?!  The cover is gorgeous and it comes in a little 1970's penny sweet bag - lovely!).  However, Gerard wasn't parting with it, even though between him and Anne they have FOUR copies!!  Isn't that kinda a bit stupid when there's only 50 to go round?!  (I did make this point, but even blonde hair and big eyes can't work miracles when it comes to a man and his art!  Damn it!).  Anyway, that's reminded me, Lit 2 will be on sale at the gig (saw a copy yesterday, it's all gonna be part of a 10 CD set.  There's a Kurt Cobain piece on it... or was that Lit 1? - OH I DON'T KNOW!) and he told me to tell you, so job done! (£15 from the man that designs it... Sam, I think?  he'll be there anyway, with his little bag of tricks.) 

And I think there's already a DJ - but I can ask if you like?  :o)

Right - it's my birthday on Saturday, so back to making tapes...  All popular stuff, not a Blue Aeroplanes track in sight, wooops!  (Can I just share that in the middle of a very serious compilation tape, I've put in 9-5 by Dolly and it's made me laugh all morning!)

Bless you people.

So I'm forgiven?  Absolved by way of Macky and the boys?  Top!  :o)  
[And HOW unexpected was the shooting of Connie??!!  I nearly fell off
the sofa!]

Saw Gerard yesterday - he was in London having a meeting with some guy 
who's interested in re-releasing Swagger.. or else it was about the 
release of Altitude (the new CD).. or something... He had a big bag of
all the Aeroplanes stuff with him and waffled on for ages trying to 
explain to me why, but I'm a simple fan and got a bit blinded by 
science to be honest!  I think it was about a few things, all geared
towards getting CD's (new, old and/or a singles album) released... but 
it will come as no surprise to learn that after the third round, I 
changed the subject!  (Have learned that if you don't do this
eventually, the man will enter Pop World for the whole night and I 
don't really speak the language!)

Any road up, a few extra's which I am allowed to report...  According
to Gerard, Altitude is his best album since Swagger.  He loves it, very
proud of it and guess what - there's an aeroplane on the cover.

December gig - Get there early-ish coz there's two supports!  No 
waiting around freezing yer tits off in silence til 11pm this year 
apparently, hooorah!  First support is a young lady who's getting a bit 
of a name and has various named musicians etc. playing with her and 
wanting to work with her, second support is ummm.... I forget - but 
Gerard says they're brilliant - Fuzz something or other...  (Flakey?  
ME??!).  Ooooh, and the reason that they have gone on so late in recent 
years is, he says, because the guy that runs The Fiddlers always puts 
the time back as long as people are still coming through the door!  
Gerard said he's always ready to go on from about 9.00, but this Irish 
guy is always telling him to hang on another half hour.  That would 
explain a few things then!

I confessed about the questions interview thing and he laughed! 
Sensibly suggested that I should have taken the questions with me 
yesterday and we could've done it then.  State the bleedin' obvious,
why don't ya!  We've arranged to do it over the phone one night next 
week, so it's in the bag.  I did say I'd post them to him and he could 
just answer them and post it back, but he reckons that the answers
would be too constructed that way, not natural enough (*sigh*)!  (And 
don't even get me started on 'why can't you email them to him?" - 
computers + Gerard...?  I'd have more luck teaching my gran to 
break-dance!)

And that's about it.  Yet another long post - but you made it!
Cheers!
