aerial


here's the cover of kate bush's upcoming album, aerial. fucking hell, i can't wait for it. so here are ten kate bush songs i can't live without.

  • running up that hill (a deal with god)
  • night of the swallow
  • under the ivy
  • l'amour look something like you
  • babooshka
  • this woman's work
  • james and the cold gun
  • violin
  • waking the witch
  • suspended in gaffa
hmm. nothing from lionheart or the red shoes. that's not to say that lionheart is not a good album. it is, but it just doesn't have my favorite tracks. the red shoes, however, is another story. what a disappointing album. it has a couple good moments, but i feel it completely pales in comparison to anything previous to it (including lionheart!). put that under your christmas tree!

Did you know your blog post (and mine) were in The Guardian on 29th September?

More on topic, an interesting selection of tracks. Would probably have more The Dreaming myself and I have always preferred Cloudbusing and Jig of Life to Running Up That Hill.

Bit worried about Ariel though, it's going to be a double album apparently... King of the Mountain is a decent track but if that's the best there is and it's a double...

what the fuck? people actually read this shit? oh man, i'm so embarrassed, but thanks for the heads up.

anyway, i'm inclined to agree about the dreaming. it's really my favorite album of hers, but i had been listening to hounds quite a bit when i posted; that list is pretty much of the moment. jig of life is wonderful. i remember i used to hate it, it was the only song on the album i'd skip. it simply clicked with me one day.

right now, i'll be happy as long as aerial is better than the red shoes. is it november yet?

Hey, don't be too embarrassed. Being a Kate Bush geek is not too bad. There are many, many more embarrassing artists to be into.

Besides you're OK, The Guardian is the paper most of my friends and family read.

i'm routinely ridiculed for my unabashed love for puffy amiyumi, so i guess i should be able to handle just about anything.

pretty cool. your comment and another had me slightly puzzled, as i couldn't figure out how you found me and just chalked it up to random coincidence.
