A note about fur and photographsFrom Kate...Hi there,We have recently taken some photos and I just want to pre-empt any concerns there might be as I'm sure most of you will feel the same way as I do about wearing real fur. All the fur in these photos is synthetic.Best wishes,Kate
From Kate...
Hi there,
We have recently taken some photos and I just want to pre-empt any concerns there might be as I'm sure most of you will feel the same way as I do about wearing real fur. All the fur in these photos is synthetic.
Best wishes,Kate
I don't even get the point of wearing fake fur, but at least it's not real...

― Mark G, Tuesday, 8 November 2011 10:16 (twelve years ago) link
There's a review of this in the new Wire btw. Unsurprisingly the reviewer is kind of luke warm on it (it is the Wire after all):
50 Words For Snow is like a wintry riposte to the midsummer day of Aerial's conceptual suite, A Sea Of Honey. Instead of the amber glow of midsummer sunlight, it's another kind of brightness - the whiteness of snow - that presides. The mood is subdued, the backing spare, meditative, but - as we've become used to with Bush - lacking in any adventurousness of spirit; at points, you could even describe it as late night jazz club tasteful.
Also, didn't we predict the following upthread? Can't say I'm relishing the prospect...
Stephen Fry playfully intones the 50 synonyms of the album's title track

Some collaborations should exist only in the imagination - if at all. This is one of them. If this happens it can't be anything but embarrassing for both parties. yeesh.

I'd be okay with him just turning up in some spoken word capacity but honestly I can't imagine many artists whose music is less suitable for MCing over than Kate Bush's and I highly doubt that this collaboration is even in the pipeline in the first place.
― Matt DC, Thursday, 16 August 2012 16:30 (eleven years ago) link
This collaboration is so heartwarming. He's like her biggest fan:

that was a weird thing to put in; I mean they (understandably) didn't spend huge amounts of time on things post- Hounds of Love (ie: they didn't bother talking aobut the long form video for the Red Shoes) but they barely touched on Aerial at all so why bother spending time on a newsclip of someone (wrongly) knocking it?
― akm, Sunday, 24 August 2014 04:55 (nine years ago) link
also: I'd heard that there was something about Del going to the press or something; are they still on good terms? I'm surprised he talked at all about the breakup in this.
Such an awful doc: again talking heads almost always saying nothing (Neil Gaiman's 'this is a person that reads books' was particularly annoying), gossip (that moment when the guy who is asking the question attempts to pry into the relationship KB might've had with the keyboard/producer person), the one academic (trotting out the usual rubbish). No ideas - makes you quite glad that no money was spent on it either.
