Oh Bugger!
   
  It looks like the bold two who dared to 'come out' about their true 
feelings about Rodders' overall contribution to the mighty 'planes are 
well and truly in da doghouse innit!
   
  We must remember that the planes were in existance as a great band well 
before Swagger 'n Beatsongs. Good albums they both are but they are also 
the most straightforward musically - a move away from some of the more 
outlandish stuff of previous - folk instruments and all. [Yes - the word 
'folk' would normally make us indie kids run a mile but I think the planes 
used such instruments to good effect]. The planes had already given us 
four albums before Swagger. At least three of them excellent (I can't 
vouch for Bop Art as unfortunately I have never heard it but as I remember 
comments on here a good while ago, the general concensus is "don't 
bother"?).
   
  I guess I'm lucky insomuch as I first heard the 'planes around '87/'88 
on Radio 1 in the evening with stuff like 'Cowardice and Caprice' and 
'Coats' and was rather taken by them. Jog my memory: was it that sweetie 
Janice Long or cuddly Liz Kershaw?!
   
  Anyway, I'm not dissing RA myself, just saying I'm not too hot on his 
stuff.
   
  Yours,
