Re: Pandora & Robyn Hitchcock

["Paul Vallis" <paulvallis@ho...com>]

Art Brut are worth checking out.  In fact I'm off to see them at the Fleece 
sometime later this month.
And I thought I'd mention, as I know there are a few Robyn Hitchcock fans on 
this list, that he is touring the UK early next year, which includes a date 
at Bristol's Fleece on Friday 12th Jan.  Same backing band as the last tour 
(only they seem to have changed their name from the Minus 5 to the Venus 3 - 
still contains Peter Buck anyway).

Good idea Steve B.  There's also this new thing for iTunes called the 
Filter, which supposedly makes up suitable playlists based on tracks you 
choose.  Does it work?  You decide........
I have 7,400 tracks on iTunes.  When I selected KIng of the Soapbox, it came 
up with a playlist including 2 songs from each of Eels, Belle & Sebastian 
and Ryan Adams.  I have no idea what the connection is there.  Plus A House 
(who once supported the Aeroplanes), Arctic Monkeys, Bright Eyes, Art Brut 
and Hard-Fi.
Putting in Jacket Hangs turned up a Witness song (success!) but two Coldplay 
tunes.  It then gives up in disgust after listing only 5 of the requested 10 
songs.  I think it has its own tastes.

  Revelation time. Anyone familiar with www.pandora.com? Those who are, 
please bear with me but feel free to try this at home. Type in Blue 
Aeroplanes (natch) and see what it comes up with. Personally, it started 
with 'King of the Soap Box# from FLP1 and followed up with:
  James McMurtry
  Richard Buckner
  Hootie and the Blowfish!
  Jeff Rolka
  Riochard & Linda Thompson :)
  Rhett Miller
  Meat Puppets
  Tolerance :)
  Oysterband!
  The Pogues :)

  Basically, Pandora goes away and has a little think about who else you 
might like if you dig the Aeroplanes and come s back with a selection of 
tunes. At another time on another day I would be interested to see who got 
what. I must confess to not being familiar with all of the above but was 
pleasantly surprised. Give it a go.
  Phil H. Just a thought, but did you get as far as scanning it and do you 
have a digital file of the oft mentioned t-shirt. If you do we can all print 
our own, can't we and save you the grief of the limited edition print run.
  I'd like to say I'll see you all on the 22nd but I think it is highly 
unlikely.

  Living in my own world
