Kate Bush

yeah and with inferior banter like that, they should be phased out by award season i would hope.

I still listen to terrestrial radio and the patter's as lame as ever.

This is a vision. (It's not a GOOD vision.)

Obsessed with this. Absolutely deranged.

A complete massacre of the original. Each note more wild and unpredictable than the next. Ending with a cocky kiss, like she just fucking killed it.

100% perfect. No notes. https://t.co/9oFbYPbCPV

It wasn’t THAT bad, pretty much standard MPB interpretation isn’t it?

Also “no notes” is apparently the newest completely meaningless catchphrase now?

as I have said before, all Kate Bush covers are terrible and should be illegal

the cycle will not be complete until it's on ukulele and it's selling a motor vehicle

If I only could
Get a deal from Dodge
And get them to swap a trade-in

Honestly would like to hear her do all of Hounds of Love now.

"I hid my Yooooooooo-yooooooooo"

Still wild to hear this on the Top 40 station between Doja Cat, Lil Nas X and Harry Styles.

i'd make a deal with gyaaaayyyyaaaayyyyyaaaad

It wasn’t THAT bad

au contraire, mon frere

initially read that as "i'd make a deal with gay dad"

Do you really think EVERY note was off? I don’t listen to much if any MPB these days but what I’m hearing is a pastiche of what would be considered R&B and C&W tropes in the cultural context of the USA.

there is nothing, I mean nothing, of MPB (which is also... a pretty meaningless term btw) in her cover.

A while back we were talking about acts that sound like Kate Bush, a friend of mine put me on to Li Garattoni’s ‘Find Out What I'm Dreaming’ LP from 1982 on the weekend, and some of the record fits the bill such as ‘Find Out What I'm Dreaming’.

Re: Kate Bush covers, there are a few, very few. Some friends did an ambient noise cover utilizing elements from RUTH back in 2006– they were all computer music majors— and it remains excellent. Will upload if anyone wants.

can't even think of too many well known covers; Pat Benetar's Wuthering Hights (bad), maxwell's This Woman's Work (good but unnecessary) and that's about it?

has anyone else seen the all-woman KB tribute act Baby Bushka? i went into it expecting some theater-kid preciousness and..that’s part of it to an extent but the costumes and choreography and performances are all terrific and done totally lovingly and sincerely. i actually teared up at a few points during their set.

The Futureheads cover of Hounds was how I discovered her. I posted here that discovering KB was like finding out that you'd been living next to a skyscraper without noticing. Bimble replied "please tell me that you have or are planning to buy The Dreaming" which was lovely, like having an older sibling with cool taste to nag you.

I missed baby bushka in the bay area earlier this year; I'd assumed they were from the UK but they're from San Diego! youtube clips of them are excellent

Night of a Thousand Kates is just whew for me, what an incredible events

This one is great

Seems that Del Palmer has died
