There he is!  See, we didn't scare him away!!
Hi Gareth - re:  "Righto, I'll head away but if you want a longer 
desposition as to my love of the BA's I'll be happy to bore you, Christ 
knows no one else of my friends are interested!!" - then you are in 
good company mate!  We all have that problem, hence the desparation and 
enthusiasm any time this mailing list springs to life!  (Typical insult 
to the BA's I get any time I ever try to play them in the company of 
anyone who's never heard of them is, "is that bloke actually singing or 
what?"  Sad thing is, I can't really answer it!  In fact, my worst 
insult hurled at them so far is from my boyfriend who, when at Latimer 
Grammer in the 80's, bunked off a music lecture purely BECAUSE Rodney 
was giving the talk!  said boyfriend writes his own songs now... make 
of that what you will!)
Anyway, dont panic - the Christmas gig we were talking about happens 
annually in Bristol at the (Oh!  Bugger!  I've forgotten!  Where is 
it!?!  Oh, some kind soul'll tell ya)... so you wont miss them this 
year.  You may however miss me, as I keep saying I'll go and then 
blowing it out.
Honest... this year...

Blimey,
what a response!
Enough to scare any sensible sane man (or woman) away to hide forever 
in the ether of the internet.
Luckily, as liking the blue aeroplanes is one of the questions my 
psychiatrist asked me during my stint in a straightjacket it ain't a 
problem for me!
Hi all!!

The names Gareth and been a fan since I first heard '...and stones' 
blow out of the TV speakers on some saturday morning yoof program way 
back in the late 1980's (when ever it was released)

Followed them closely ever since, with at times disappointing returns 
(see life model and rough music), seen them some 15x live, some 
amazing, some decent, others (like the last time in Leicester at the 
Charlotte about 7 yrs? ago) worse than seeing my gran trying to do 
karaoke to 'The Ace of Spades'


And yet I still listen  (much to the annoyance of my misses who hates 
them with a vengeance - though I did once get her to go to a concert at 
Town & Country Kentish town for a totally brilliant concert and thought 
, stupidly as it turned out, to make her swap her allegiance from REM) 
more the blues than any other artist.


I was scared off the early stuff by the first friendloverplane, and 
only on the much later release of Warhols15 did I then delve into those 
first fabulous albums.
Now I understand why so many original fans would have got pissed off 
with the rather conventional  swagger albums onwards.


Tried, wholly unsuccessfully to get even one of my mates into the band, 
but none could get past Gerald, bless his cotton socks, the best and at 
times worst aspect of the BA's lack of mainstream fame and fortune


I'd love to know what live albums you all have out there, I got one off 
e-bay called VIVA!, which had 2 concerts (you probably all know this so 
I wont say more unless asked bar the first concert is fantastic second, 
even excepting ropy recording poorer)


Anyway, thought I better write something, still haven't waded through 
all of dec 04 entries, before I already got ostracised for my lack of 
correspondence.


Righto, I'll head away but if you want a longer desposition as to my 
love of the BA's I'll be happy to bore you, Christ knows no one else of 
my friends are interested!!


Mean Fiddler in London in Dec? (why london not Bristol???)
