I think the Fleece is about 300, but that may have been reduced due to 
more stringent fire regs nowadays.  Sold out gigs at the Fleece used to be 
completely rammed.  Now at a sold out gig you can move around a lot more 
freely.  Easier for getting to the bar or the loo, but not for making sure 
that everyone who wants to get in can.

 

Is the EMI deal not happening any more?  I doubt Altitude or Harvester 
sold well, so they may not be interested any more.

Trying to remain on topic... What is the capacity of the Fleece, and are 
there likely to be any tickets left on the door? I ask because (at the 
300th time of asking) I have finally managed to introduce someone 
successfully to the wonders of the Aeroplanes and they plan to attend the 
gig (it would be their first). However, they don't arrive in the UK until 
the day before the concert & I don't live in Bristol any more. 
Also, did anyone say if there would be 7"s available on the website after 
the gig?
& my understanding was that the album has now been finished for a good 
while (after years of no-doubt-necessary tweaking) and that the hold-up 
was now down to Gerard holding out for a deal that would get the record 
heard by the most possible people (SXSW being an important part of angling 
for this deal).... So, is the deal done? Is it half-done? Is it done for? 
Or is the Fleece thang another profile-raising rung on the way to the 
doing of that deal? 
&, not trying so hard to remain on topic, I'm sorry that someone who has 
regularly contributed interesting posts to this list for over 10 years has 
felt it necessary to leave over a needlessly heavy-handed response to one 
of his posts (& I'm not talking about the response for which he received 
an apology). I hope he'll reconsider & return. Besides, a lot of the 
format discussion was on-topic; trying to influence the future digital 
distribution of Aeroplanes' releases. & don't the lurkers have a digest 
option for when list traffic increases? & isn't it a lovely day?
Thanks to Steve for running the list, & to Chris & everyone for keeping 
everyone as updated as they can. Haven't said that for a while. Feel 
better now. 

A Phill

Let's try to get back on-topic.. I'm not real rigid about keeping things 
strictly Aero related, but there's no reason to inundate people (lurkers) 
who are used to a lighter amount of list traffic with this much off-topic 
banter.

Thanks,
Steve

The length of the thread seems to stem from people being rather mean

interesting but would assume people could just delete if they weren’t like

At the risk of raising anyone's ire, I honestly really don't care too 
much. I like to get news about the Blue Aeroplanes, for sure ... but this 
60-message-long thread about compressions and FLAC and MP4s is a bit much. 

While we're at it, is it vinegar that you use on a wasp sting, or it it 
wine? Or is it something else? I've forgotten. Doe anyone else have any 
magic household tips to share?

Yes, I really didn't intend the offence I caused, and I feel bad about it: 
I was just being a prat.  And actually I care as well (both about the DRM 
stuff and about the quality issues). If I meant anything it was that I 
care about the music more.  OK, I'll shut up now.

Well I care.  

 

I've been listening to music and buying now for over 40 years so the 
quality of the format and reproduction makes a difference both at home or 
in the gig. (I used to hang out with radio & sound engineers so know well 
the downside of compression) This guy had useful tips.  Sure the 
discussion was a bit techie but driving the poor fellow away was a bit 
clumsy even if rudeness was not intended.  I note an apology was made 
however so perhaps that can mend it.
