Kate Bush

Not the very end. I still listen to the weird experimental section of rubberband girl.

which is the good version? there was a remastered one that came out with director's cut box, which I haven't heard but does it really sound any different beyond some mastering changes?

Just finished the Thompson bio. Liked it very much. Lots of detail re: recording. It's worth picking up for sure.

The 2011 remaster is the one I'm most familiar with.
Honestly, I don't know if it's much different than the original - but boy did that original get a lot of hate back then.

only 480p but here you go

Maybe I've just always assumed there are 2 versions since I don't really know what the haters are listening to

Only 480p? But I want to watch that album artwork in 720p!

480p is typically 128kbps stereo, albeit comparable to something better because YouTube down samples quite well. With 720p and higher you can usually expect 192kbps or higher stereo AAC quality

I got the Rob Jovanovic bio last year in the Google Play store, but it's still there laying dormant. I'm pretty much a non-fan of Jovanovic, unluckily he's the only one writing bios of some of my favorite groups. I've already had to endure his books on Big Star and Pavement.

did we never talk about the fact that those live shows contained a very long interlude about sausages

nice, but I thought they filmed it and were gonna release a video?

Been listening to two boots from the first couple of nights for a while now. I skip the silly "comedic" interludes w/ her kid but the rest is so great. Looking forward to this release.

there is video on youtube, which I haven't watched yet, of entire shows

But I imagine that is not an official recording?

Prologue from this is really fantastic, extended to twice the length of the studio version with a completely new section. it's a real shame they're not releasing the video though.

it's that kind of primeval thing where you're trying to think, 'Can I get to that tree before the tiger gets me?'

live album is quite a nice piece. really wish i'd been there.

Suspended in gaffa is one of the best songs I've ever heard

best artist ever, no one will ever come close

did it really turn out she was a tory/brexiter? that would bum me out so much

she came out as a supporter of Theresa May/Tory, yeah.

Wasn't her Thatcher and May support limited to her appreciation of there being women in politics? And confessing she didn't really follow politics?

Yes.

She also sang "Ken" about Ken Livingstone, a bunch of years ago.

dang...well..she seems pretty uppercrust i guess :/

Person from Bexleyheath in Tory support shocker.

Kate Bush - Ken
United States Of America - Love Song For The Dead Ché
Morrissey - Last Of The Famous International Playboys

New thread - people who don't deserve good tribute songs.

The love of Richard Nixon..

If anyone's interested, I write a blog on Kate's music song-by-song: https://katebushsongs.wordpress.com/2018/08/01/the-man-with-the-child-in-his-eyes/

awesome thanks!

Nice!

Caught up with, and RSSed for future posts -- thanks! :-D

Oh, I don't believe I linked this, but here's my most recent blog post. My "Violin" essay should be up next week. https://katebushsongs.wordpress.com/2018/08/22/pick-the-rare-flower-on-fire-inside-a-snowball-so-soft-neverthless-youll-do-stranded-at-the-moonbase/

Wow good work

Kate Bush photo book is very very expensive. Cant do it.

Guess I'll keep sharing these until someone tells me not to (and even then...). Here's the story of Kate Bush inventing folk punk: https://katebushsongs.wordpress.com/2018/09/26/violin/

keep sharing these, thanks!

A total vanity project, this book, as was the Scott Walker one. I won’t be getting it, and it won’t be getting this fan, for sure.

i read elsewhere there was a rumor of another huge box set next year of all her work. I'd probably splurge for it again.

would love get repressings of some of her 80's work individually

Remasters and B sides comps and such!

http://www.superdeluxeedition.com/news/kate-bush-announces-remastered-albums-in-a-series-of-box-sets/

shut up and take my money, etc

otm

90 per vinyl box set seems a bit steep tbh

Still baffling IMO that there hasn't been a classic Greatest Hits/Best of/Gold type thing. The Whole Story was 30 years ago!

12" remix disc with only like 30 minutes of music on it that omits numerous tracks = DUD

Poor public service - she's definitely a Tory

LOL

the cover art is hilariously gross
