?new album

[dwilhelmi at tiscali.co.uk (gordon)]

  '25 Kinds of Love' featured in the pre festive double header, 
definitely, but paucity of memory prevents me from accurate recall, 
Fiddlers wise, also.
  Hit the spot at the Spitz though.
  I quote Gerard, I think

  ' It's a HIT ! '

    I bumped into Gerard yesterday en route to Asdal in Bemmie to do my 
tragic single-bloke shopping.

    Actually, he accosted me - I was walking along the road past the City 
Farm (yes, thinking about Tree Full of Starlings!) and I saw a bright 
yellow purse on the pavement. I picked it up and opened it but it was 
empty.

    Then I sensed a... presence at my shoulder. I turned, and there was 
this fucking ruddy old FACE! at my shoulder wearing sunglasses and covered 
in white stubble. The face was on the front of an ovoid head which was 
atop a body clad entirely in black.

    Who else could it possibly be but - Gerard!

    We were both going to Asda to buy alcohol and lard so we walked 
together for a bit.

    I found out that:

    There are three - 3!!! - Aeroplane-related discscsss out soon:

    1. The Art Objects re-release 
    2. The Harvester thing
    3. The New Album

    1. The Art Objects re-release
    This will be re-mastered and have extra tracksksks, as one would 
imagine. It seemed Gerard has warmed to this in recent years, as he agreed 
when I said it was a fucking excellent album crying out for a wider 
audience. The guy who took the album cover photo, Paul Graham, is 
apparently one of the UK's foremost "artist-photographers" now 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Graham_%28photographer%29) according to 
Gerard. And Gerard found some old negatives down the back of his sofa, so 
the cool booklet that came with the album will now have some colour 
photos. Fab! Dunno when it's coming out though.

    2. The Harvester thing
    We know about this one. Didn't talk much about it except that I said 
it was a good (i.e. obscure) selection of covers. Out in May.

    3. The New Album
    Gerard talked at length about how this is being mixed on a PowerBook 
and in some studio somewhere and lost me a bit with his muso-speak. Also 
we were crossing Bemmie Parade at the time and almost got run over by a 
fucking bus (what a loss to the world it would have been!). He mentioned 
that they have a perfect pop-song for the album, "25 Different Kinds Of 
Love" which was played at Fiddlers (others may remember this; I was waaaay 
too pissed to remember anything of that night). So far only one song is 
completely complete, so God knows when the album is coming out. And Gerard 
laughed when I asked him what it was called.

    By now we were in the Chav-tastic hellhole that is the Bemmie Asda. I 
recommended the new Fall album to him and he remarked that he went off on 
them during the early 90s when they went "all dance" (a common 
misconception). He loves early Fall and I assured him that the new album 
is as scuzzy and experimental as all good Fall should be and he said he 
would check it out.

    We then went our seperate ways to purchase our bachelor chow and 
booze. Hey - perhaps that could be the title of the next album! Bachelor 
Chow and Booze. I'll be sure to mention it to Gerard next time he 
surprises me in the street.

    Oh and his eyebrows have mutated in an alarming Dennis Healey stylee.
