  Oh , blue GLASS ! I must put my grasses on next time.
  he last contact I had from Noras' site was about a year ago, prompting 
me that I had post in my box. The upshot of following the contents of that 
was receiving just a week or so ago the German TV concert DVD of a BA 
concert from the early nineties, from a fella in Turkey.
  It cost me the new Echo & Bunnymen CD in swapsy, and I'm chuffed to bits 
with it.
  For those asking for any recordings of BA stuff recently, you might want 
to check out the link this fella sent me.
  There's some pretty unusual stuff there, including a recording of the 
La's gig I went to in the summer !
  Anyway a belated thank you to Nora for that, I'm sure you are reading 
this site.

    I've been trying to find Nora's site for ages. It's just... well, 
gone! Are you on this list Nora? If you are, hello and help! :o)

    And Gordon... is was blue GLASS! ;o)

      A website would be fine Lisa, and I can't think of anybody better 
suited to getting it there.

      I doubt it would get as many hits as what we alredy have, courtesy 
of Steve Thomas, but that's from a guy who bet Everton would beat Chelsea 
last week !

      Also, you should look to the example of Nora's site.

      I don't reckon any of us are any more or less nutty about BAs than 
Nora is, and a lot of love must have gone into a site that many of us on 
this site have aloud to lapse.

      Dunno what political infighting is involvlved in that, don't want to 
know.

      I have no axe to grind here. I may or may not have bought a Weird 
Shit tape from Nora at the London Fiddler,( Nora ? ) but otherwise am not 
aquainted.

      It wasn't as easy to real off the kind of banter on that site as 
what has occured on this the last week.

      That's not being picky picky picky, just lazy.

      For instance, is or is there not a rumour going round that Gerard et 
al are going to play a set of bluegrass music at the Fiddlers ?

      I mean I'm cool with that ; one of my best mates has a cousin that 
lives near the top of Blueberry Hill.

      A gradually unfolding memoir of the Blue Aeroplanes would be a great 
feature of a site , written by those who have been there.

      Richard Bells' three parter awhile back was everything we'd want it 
to be; concise, honest, self effacing and a terrific read.

      If we could cajole people like Nick Jacobs, Max Noble, Angelo,Wojtek 
and uncle Tom Cobbly and all into believing that we would really like to 
read it, we'd be forming an archive of material every bit as important to 
us as another re issue of a Beatles Song Book.

      I still get back to Nora though, and the very real demands of Supply 
and Demand ; no good throwing the rattle out when the pisstakers come 
knocking.

      Enough cliches ? Enough Negativity ?

       
      OK enough then, when you starting it ?

        Eh?

        Okay, it's time this was said... coz frankly, I've had enough!

        I report back to you lot everything I hear about what's going on 
with Gerard/the band/albums/gigs etc. because I assume people would like 
to know. I've been posting here for a number of years and when I first 
joined, kept stuff to myself purely because I didn't want to be seen as 
some pretentious little twat, loud-mouthing and lording it about, saying 
that I'm a good friend of Gerard Langley and in some twisted way, coming 
across as 'showing off' or something. Bristol is a small place, I am sure 
I am not the only one here who talks to the man! I do however seem to be 
the only person here doing my best to keep people up to date by either 
clarifying or dispelling rumours for you all. Rumours that, in fact, grow 
and spiral the longer they get talked about here. Maybe you all like 
playing the guessing game, if so, let me know and I'll crawl back into my 
hole. I actually do pass on stuff that I read here and try my best to get 
answers for you because Gerard doesn't ever read this and to be honest, 
I'm not entirely sure he'd reply even if he did!

        If, by any chance or for any reason whatsoever people would like 
me to just keep any news that I have to myself, then really, just let me 
know! I have a million things I could be doing rather than grilling my 
mate about stuff to do with 'work' when actually, all either of us wanna 
do is have a pint and watch the girls go by! I'm happy to carry on 
reporting back too, but you know what - I would rather not bother if there 
are gonna be certain people who are constantly questioning what I'm 
telling you... which is only, after all, what I get told, otherwise how 
the hell would I know and why would I care! I don't make it up!

        Bruce, I have no idea what you really meant by the "I dont care. 
We don't care" line - perhaps it's a line from a BA's song that I haven't 
heard because *shock! Horror!* I prefer the popular stuff (Ooooh, shame on 
me!). If it is, then I still make no apologies because the choice of words 
was, frankly, in my opinion, a virtual V-sign directly related to my last 
post.

        PV1 - I have no idea either what you meant by "I'm not sure how 
disengenious he was being"... But to that I'll say this: The Blue 
Aeroplanes have, in one guise or another played at the Fiddlers in 
December for years and years. So yes, actually it is ENTIRELY possible 
that the booking is ongoing and that Gerard didn't know the exact date 
until last week. The EMI deal isn't finalised, as I said, so I can't tell 
you anything more about that and yes, when you've been offered a big deal 
from a major record company, I expect it IS difficult to ignore... The 
BA's are a long way from getting up on stage with Michael Stipe or driving 
around LA in the back of a limo with the Pixies!

        Right. I feel better now. Slightly less insulted and ready for my 
Sunday breakfast (yes, I was lying in bed thinking about this!). No doubt 
I've pissed someone off, but I'm sick of sitting here in the comfort of my 
own home, feeling patronised and accused.

        Finally, there are plans for a website. I, hopefully will be 
writing for it. Something I'm very nervous, yet very excited about doing 
because, like all of us here, I love the Blue Aeroplanes. How popular 
it'll be(??!) depends on us, which is why I thought it was a good idea to 
ask for suggestions. Again, if this came across as anything other than a 
tit-bit of exciting good news, then let me know and I'll just get on with 
it quietly and in my own time.

        Thanks for listening.

        Me and the missus have a hotel booked, and will be in Bristol that

        If the Aeros's play, too - perfect.

        Pick a card, any card.............

          Spoke to Gerard (he only found out he was playing on 2nd 
December last

          week! I was like, "Yeah? And?") who has assured me that it will 
be
          dealt with. Probably gonna be the usual for tickets (£10ish?) 
and as
          for the bouncers... Last time I went it was an old bird taking 
the
          money and a rather bedraggled beardy bloke on the door! (The 
owners I

          think!)

          I don't mean to be a teasing little tart, but there's also some
          possible news about a record deal with EMI which I'm under strict
          instruction not to mentio... Oh.

          Will update you all as and when I know anything. In the 
meantime, a
          question!

          Q: IF there was a website again, what kinda stuff would you like 
on it?

          All the usual discographies and shit, but what about Forums? A 
Chat

          room? That kind of thing... All and any suggestions would be most
          gratefully received and hopefully accomodated. I like the idea 
of it
          being very interactive with 'us' being able to suggest and 
improve as
          it grows - anyone know how that could become a reality? (I'm a 
good
          writer, but the actual fundementals of webness alludes me!) So, 
what
          would you like to see?

          Back soon!

              Ok,

              I'm an idiot :-)

              I was looking at this:

              
http://www.ents24.com/web/venue/1203/Bristol/Fiddlers_Club.html

              Not the actual Fiddlers Club website.

              Thanks for the info - hopefully I'll make it on Dec 2nd!

              Davros.
