"(Q's section on re-issues isparticularly useful)..."

Yeah, that's the one I write!! Okay, well maybe I will one day... in a parallel Universe... Where I go out more... unplug my computer once in a while... only check email once a month... go to gigs every night of the week and get on the guest list... Bugger - never gonna happen is it!

Ho hum, back to writing my Top Tips review in You, Naturism In Your Allotment Monthly then... ("Always stand well back when pruning your begonias...")

It's rock n roll, not University bleedin' Challenge guys!!

but a whole albums worth of wide-eyed simplicity? Does being knowingly

Phil you're a brave man. Streatham these days by the way - so I'll be
round your house with £1.50 for it.

As I remember it a goodly portion of the lyrics were nicked from an
old Paul
Weller poetry book

Yeah, I've got a copy that somebody on the list made for me ages ago
from
their vinyl.

I...quite like it...but it's naive and very Billy Bragg.  Serious
fans
only, I would suggest.

Rodney made one solo album, Happy Sad.  I put a bid in for a copy
that
turned up on Ebay recently, but it went up well over £15, so I
dipped
out. As far as I know its never had a CD re-issue.

The only time I ever saw the Blue Aeroplanes in concert was at Navy
Pier
in
Chicago in 1990. Was anybody else there? They opened up for The
Church. Both bands were excellent, but the Aeroplanes' 3 guitar
assault, the interpretive dancing, and Gerard's manic
talk-shout-singing were what
really
stood out for me.  After I bought a couple of their albums, I found
that I especially enjoyed the songs penned by "Allen."  Is is
Rodney
Allen?  I don't remember his first name.  Does anyone know if he
has
any solo stuff available?
