Was just wondering with Bob in lockdown for best part of year will that mean he turns to writing songs? Seems pretty likely to me, what else could he do. Logically this potentially means new Rats songs and possible a new album sooner than we can have expected. Still not a big fan of Citizens. Maybe I'm jus...

Just caught this in car driving off to get newspaper. Geldof did more talking than Moyles, a bit about Dustin making #1 with Rat Trap. Also solo albums is now 6 or 7. Coming down. They even played "Heres a Postcard" at the end. Single version is abridged without guitar solo, which is a shame.

Here's a thing I don't get. The gigs of 83/84/85. This song was always on the list. This over House on fire. Which happened to get into the top 30. But was never on the list. So the rats or geldof must have liked doing this song live. They must if heard something in this song. That my ears have yet to pick up.

Paul Moody of Uncut magazine has given Citizens of Boomtown 8/10. Moody is a hardened, seasoned ex NME journalist so high praise indeed. Review was not very detailed but word runbunctious used to describe sound. Wasn't expecting such a high mark from a respected magazine like Uncut.
