That Touch & Go 25th Anniversary weekend in Chicago that I'm planning to attend in September? They just announced that Big Black will be playing a couple of songs. Oh yeah!
Buffy. When I saw you stop the world from, you know, ending, I just assumed that was a big week for you. Turns out I suddenly find myself needing to know the plural of 'apocalypse.'

Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Oh, indeed.

Hec, have you seen the KATE BUSH LIVE AT THE HAMMERSMITH ODEON video
I've never seen that video, though I'm curious about it. I don't think it's available right now.
Both of these qualities are in abundant display. However, so is the fact that she's a stone hottie.
Oh yeah, she's completely gorgeous. Part of my admiration for Kate is that she could've been a succesful pop star being much more conventional and playing off her voice and looks. But she lets her inner goofball run rampant.

Jilli, did you know there was a video for "Hammer Horror"?
I ... I could have sworn I did, but I can't remember a blessed thing about it, so I possibly didn't.

It's just her dancing with a male partner. She starts off wearing a retro hat with veil. The man has a black mask obscuring his face. He swoops her around a lot and she makes fierce little clawing gestures Indicating Horror. It ends with her posed, bent over double with his hand at her throat. Does that sound familiar?

Ah-ha! Yes, it does. I think I've seen it maybe twice.

It's still rampant on Aerial. This is an album that includes songs about Elvis (and is he happy if he's still alive?), the digits of pi, her son Bertie (it's wonderful, just her and a Renaissance guitar), Joan of Arc, and the plastic coral city in her fish tank. It has a song about a woman doing her laundry that includes the lyrics "Slooshy, sloshy, slooshy, sloshy" (she's being the washing machine, see...), and a whole second disk that's a song cycle about a lovely afternoon, followed by a beautiful sunset, a nice evening, sleeping through the night, and getting up to greet the dawn. That's right, an entire set of songs about one half turn around the Earth's axis. Kate Bush is adorkable.
