Borderline, BBC6, Happy New Year, Most Haunted is on... etc...

[Lisa Ash <chipaway@th...freeserve.co.uk>]

Evening all.

Firstly, may I take this opportunity to wish each and every single one of you pretty pixies a very happy, fun-packed and rockin' New Year. (Personally, I plan to spend mine locked in my room listening to The Smiths and eating beans from the tin... but you lot go ahead and have fun without me...)

Hope you all had as a top a Christmas as Gordon's young friend with his 'older woman' - at 33??!! Older??! She's a chillllld! Christ, it comes to sommin when you're even too old to be an older woman! I used to be 33 you know... Happy days...

Right then - Gerard just phoned, yes, yes he did, honest guv, sure as I'm standin' here... Some news (nothing as exciting, by the way, as me getting the Lord Of The Rings trilogy on DVD for Christmas! 12, count 'em, TWELVE DVD's!! That's me sorted for a skint January stayin in!)

First then, Rodney IS playing THE Borderline gig on January 31st. There was doubt. It's sorted out. :o) Oh, and I'll be there this time. Borderline's only up the road for me. Wey heeeey!

Second, The Blue Aeroplanes (or at least some of them) are doing a live session on Monday 16th January on Gideon Coe's show on BBC6 (Sorry, but the name Gideon is just gay!). Neither Gerard nor myself are sure what time the show is on, afternoon sometime but not sure of specific hour, but they will be playing a few live tunes from Swagger and generally rabbiting on about themselves till the DJ falls asleep... BBC6 is a UK digital channel so I dont know if you can get it outside of here...? I'm sure someone somewhere could tell ya!

Lastly, there's a promo that they've also been working on/asked to do/recording for the future that's The BA's covering 'classic' songs from the Harvest label. Now then, I'd never heard of Harvest so obviously I thought he meant Barclay James Harvest and pi$$ed myself laughing at the mere thought! I stood rapidly corrected (no sense of humour some people!) however and have been told that tracks will include stuff originally recorded by Pink Floyd, Sid Barrett (separately!), Wire, Deep Purple and some other bods I've never heard of. So, don't go in search of it hoping for Gerard's version of... umm... that ONE Barclay James Harvest song that's famous, coz you'll be looking forever.

Oh - and there's a couple of reviews in Q and Uncut magazines from last week for Swagger. Q gave it 4 out of 5, which apparently is one more than they gave it the first time round!

And that's it. Must leave you for the scary delights of Derek Ackhora and Evette Fielding now. I love Most Haunted, me!
