Kate Bush

I did see a stack of promo CD singles just now in R&TE, Berwick Street.

"Running up that hill (Deal with God) 2012 version"

£40 each.

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.

Also : "...Loch Ness Monster's forest in London"? Haha.

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.

This collaboration is so heartwarming. He's like her biggest fan:

Big Boi, if you're reading: All You Cruisers - THE KATE BUSH VOTING THREAD (ilm artist poll #24: deadline Saturday 25 August)

Love it:

Pitchfork: You've talked about wanting to collaborate with Kate Bush before, how's that going?

Big Boi: It's coming, man. I talked to her on the phone. She's cool as hell-- I didn't know she said that many cuss words.

"I have got a Kimble"

a friend pointed out the other day that the field's "over the ice" is more-or-less entirely composed of samples from "under ice" and slightly blew my mind

yep. that's why it RULEZ.

Same thing happened to me this year despite having known and loved both songs for ever.

may 2007 lay heavily upon all your heads, forever

btw i hear "kappsta" is based on angriest dog in the world incidental music, can someone confirm?

nice little piece, on KB and the Gothic:

less than a month until the live shows ARGH

less than a week fuck ARGH they've been rehearsing all week omFGGGGGGGM

can't say i've ever been more excited about a show.

this is gonna be amazing, hope something gets released eventually

I am ... so, so happy for those of you going to this show. <smiles at you beatifically, a single tear of joy shining on my cheek>

looking forward to seeing a set list! if you're going, have a great time. I bet it'll be amazing.

I unexpectedly got tickets last week :-D

I'm not sure I will be able to handle september tbph

i really don't know how i'm gonna stay composed throughout the show

there's gonna be so many ppl in tears lol

Yeah for the ~event~ alone I wish I was going. I mean, the first MBV reunion show was intense, but this...

I'm so incredibly jealous of everyone going.

Only Kate Bush can make me feel like a childish fanboy even though I'm a grown ass man

Haven't got a ticket. Got a kidney to spare in return though (hardly used)

The Channel 4 doc was p great: http://youtu.be/kjsL3x0NWyc

Big article in the Sunday NY Times as well.

One thing that (BBC) doc reminded me of: John Harris on Newsnight Review being wrong about Aerial.

Oh yeah soz it was the Beeb instead of C4.

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?

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.

thank you

"the keyboard/producer person"

that was Del Palmer, her primary collaborator on just about everything! Not just some 'person'

i'm listening to aerial while sick and omg this record is perfect

When it came out, Amber loved it while Alice was "No.. No.. No more song about washing machine..."

that bbc4 doc was so disappointing. thee only people who said anything of interest other than insignificant, meaningless anecdotes were maybe brett anderson and people who actually worked with her. a complete anti climax. the latest issue of mojo is better for it at least attempts some history but even that is just a transparent cash-in (a run down of her 'best moments'). simon reynolds' guardian piece was better than anything in that doc.

Short version of my oft told anecdote:

We were both on the same tv show one time, but my fellow pop panellists were kept well away from herself, even backstage.

dress rehearsal in front of 4000 friends and family last night. surprisingly little leaking out about it.
anyone know anyone who went?

ah, she knows who her (tight-lipped) friends are

tell us the long version of the anecdote Mark! which TV show, when etc?

Ummm

It was called "The Saturday morning show" LWT, I along with three others reviewed singles, discovered I have no TV presence so sacked that as a career. Top single was Graham Parker, presenters were Steve Jones (the one that looks like brains off thunderbirds) and Elvis Payne.

when.. 1979 I think. Look up "Protection" G.Parker for a close date.
