That's a shame! He was sorely missed at Brighton. Will there be anything special at the Borderline next Thursday?

Lol!  You curtain twitcher!

There's no falling out. Rodney was only ever gonna do the Borderline gig - never the tour coz he has other commitments.

Lisa,

So what's the truth on the rumoured falling out between Gerard and Rodney?

Ed,

Errrr - YES! You're reading it! This list! (I see Steve has just replied with that!) :)

The problem has been that whilst EMI can build (and are about to announce) a site/blog space solely for the new stuff (Swagger/Altitude - because that makes good business sense), they cannot, understandably, manage an actual site that would incorporate EVERYTHING to do with the BA's, past, present and future. They cannot 'run' efficiently a site purely dedicated to the BA's. Something like the old one Nora had.

Also, running an interactive website takes times, patience and a lot of effort - something that only someone *with* time, patience and willing to put the effort in could provide.

Gerard has had discussions with a guy willing to put all this in, but because everything is kicking off now, Gerard also doesn't have the time to sit and discuss what needs to be done.

Both Gerard and the people at EMI (and most of us I believe, no?) think that what is needed is a very specific site for the 'planes and both are in agreement that I would be a good person to get that off the ground. I'm not an HTML expert be any means but I AM pretty good at working out MySpace! (And frankly, there are bands on there way bigger than the BA's, so I don't really see the problem). It's not AT ALL to replace anything or any of the hard work Steve puts into this list - it will be completely separate. This list a way of contacting all of us at the same time - my intention for the MySpace profile is more to have samples of tunes, pics, biogs of the band etc... This list deserves the highest respect and my getting a MySpace page together would not detract from this in anyway at all. It's not even the same thing anyway... the BA's deserve some kind of website to open up to a wider audience a band that we all already love. This list is a newsgroup thingy... they're different.

Therefore, MySpace seems like the perfect solution. Those that don't 'agree' with it (don't really understand that, but okay), I apologise, but those of us that do will, I am sure, keep everything that's posted on the site, up to date on this list. (I know I will)

MySpace is essentially a music community place. Anything I (or anyone really!), puts together for a band page is purely a matter of personal choice as the Profile owner/fan of the music, its not exclusive to just members - non-members can read the pages too.

I'm doing it anyway because I feel a MySpace BA's page is needed right now. Whether anyone visits or not is, like I said, completely personal choice. All I think it'll do it bring all the stuff we do on here together in one place... This list, biogs, discographies, links, pics - surely thats a good idea? Isn't it?

(I wouldn't worry too much at the mo anyway - its taken me three bloody weeks to write one email!)
;)

Alrighty then!

Hm. Not all of us agree with MySpace. Isn't there some kind of server that's
public where this info could be posted?

I'm currently putting together an Official Blue Aeroplanes page on
MySpace.  Blogs and Biogs from Gerard, usual band stuff etc...
Probably only end up regurgitating all the stuff you've all posted
lately, but hell!

It'll be ready soon.

Just so you all know.
