Re: Details of new 7" single to be released the Fleece gig

[Patrick Brown <pasddybrownchelsea@ya...co.uk>]

Having read with great interest the various replies to this thread, i must 
say 
that i agree with all of them!!....

Why don't they go with an mp3 download version (via web-site) a la iTunes 
@ £5 a 
hit (on or after the release of the 7" vinyl jobbie?).  I'd even offer to 
set it 
up for them (& i'm not a tecchie)...

Likewise, new album??...Mystified to say the least (what happened to 'Good 
Luck 
Signs' aka 'When Things Are Good' then? Was it a USA only (vinyl 
double-album) release with gatefold sleeve?

I assumed (having heard some new songs played last 2 or 3 times live; 
Angela 
Carter/ 25 Kinds of Love etc.) there was enough material to fill it (In 
fact, i 
recall Gerard & Max telling me 'it's the dogs'!!)...

'Anti-Gravity' sounds like a delay tactic to me?

Sorry to sound negative (but like the Glasgow man)...I only have a 
'limited life 
span' myself & am now wondering if any new product (in a playable format) 
will 
ever grace my turn-table (aka CD player) again.

Pat

Further to Phil's harsh but fair description of the apparent business 
plan. 
I don't think Gerard worries about his fan base moving on but I doubt if 
 the 
BAs will be able to establish a new audience (outside of Bristol).

Ah yes, that "forthcoming album" rumour again... Lots of description and 
teasing 
over the last year or two, not very much music (although "25 Kinds of 
Love" 
sounded promising).  I've rather given up hope of ever hearing it: I live 
in 
Glasgow, so I have a very low life expectancy, you understand. The Blue 
Aeroplanes? More like the bleedin' Blue Nile in their early years.
