  Thanks for the copy Jason.
  A sober reminder NOT to buy or read music press reviews.

  Don't get me wrong, Altitude MAY be a howler, but being biased I doubt on
the whole it will be, it's just that I am fairly jealous that anyone should
get paid good coin of the realm to find the Aeroplanes 'as hard as ever to
pin down', and then pin them down to 3/5.

  3/5.

  5 is Waterboy's maybe.

  Oh god that's easy money !

  Can someone burn me some Waterboy's. STOP

  Can someone get me a job writing piffle for coin ?

  Hope to bump into some of you guys in Pompey, Sunday.

  Anyone see the review of Altitude in the Sunday Observer Music Mag? No?
Never mind, it's short so I've typed it out for you...

  The Blue Aeroplanes - Altitude. The reborn art school Bristolians prove 
as
hard as ever to pin down. 3/5.

  On the back of the re-release of their 1990 classic Swagger,the dormant
Aeroplanes have come out of the hangar for a string of live gigs and this
record. While some ex-members are Awol, others have returned, including
Massive Attack's Angelo Bruschini. The mysterious pluckings that open the
record are smashed by a biting kick drum for Raise the Roof High, which is
followed by the Waterboy's-esque Tree Full of Starlings. And while Altitude
has some very lame tracks, the guitar and chorus glory of Up in a Down 
World
suggests this old bird could still fly.

  Could someone oblige with the NME review please?

  By the way, did anyone else catch Placebo on Top of the Pops last week
with a certain Alex Lee looking irritatingly youthful at the side of the
stage playing away at the keyboard?

  Regards

  Jason
