about

"Eleanor Whitmore's 'Airplanes' is a perfect example of what happens when attention to pinpoint detail in production and exquisite instrumentation accompanies a well conceived collection of songs; a highly impressive debut album.

-- Jay Sweet, Sweet Talk

"Eleanor Whitmore's, 'Airplanes; brings a brand of folk-pop that melds Aimee Mann and the Beatles in a tuneful, distinctive way." --Jim Caligiuri, Austin Chronicle

"Jackson Brown bought Eleanor's CD. You should too." --Allison Moorer

Bloody Noses EP
by Richard Thompson

supported by 10 fans who also own “Airplanes”

John Drumbo French from Captain Beefheart and The Magic Band worked with Thompson on two albums along with Fred Frith and Henry Kaiser. Those two French, Frith, Kaiser and Thompson albums led me to this. Also, Richard Thompson taught Hugh Cornwell (of The Stranglers) how to play the bass guitar in a band when they were both at the same school (Emil and The Detectives?). With a career spanning 50 years and playing with two of my heroes (French and Cornwell) Thompson has produced a fascinating EP. yellowcakeuf6
