| **Has anyone ever heard of either of these two artists:
|    - Bell Canto   >Unicorn
|    - P.J. Harvey  >Dress
|
| I have caught both of them only quickly on a college radio station
| before they faded out - sounded good.
|
| I swear Bell Canto sounded like the lead from the Cocteau Twins and
| P. J. Harvey was a folksey mix of Vega/10,000 M's and the lead singer
| from the Throwing Muses.

Old news, but I can't resist emphasizing how great P J Harvey's album
"Dry" is.  Polly is her own person so I'm not going to compare her to
Kate or Tori or anyone else, but I think it's safe to say that if you
like the music that you read about here, you'll like this too.  

"Dress" is the big hit in England while "Sheela-Na-Gig" is the big hit
in America.  (Warning: subjective opinion.)  "Big hit" in this case is
a relative term meaning "not that big at all really, especially when
you go looking at Kriss Kross sales [`bleaugh' -- editor]," but still,
she's caused some ripples.  She deserves a flood.

Yes, you've heard the song "Sheela-Na-Gig" -- probably, if you listen
to college radio or modern rock radio stations.  It's that song that
has the "You exhibitionist" and "Gonna wash that brown right out of
my hair" bits.  Sorry, I can't sing.

But you should not let these two songs stand for the whole album; it's
a ride that takes you to lots of different cool places, high and low
and dark and deserted.  The album as a whole has a more guitar-driven,
heavier sound than you may be used to.  There aren't too many piano
solos or keyboard melodies if you get my drift -- mostly guitar, drums
and great vocals.  With the occasional violin, cello and harmonium.

Hi, thanks for posting this and letting us know. I'm glad you like her.
What record store did your wife find it? Do you know if the store where
that came from had any others? Most record store that carry Happy just
tend to get Warpaint. If they do have others, I'd be interested in
knowing which ones. If they have them all...hmmm, that's a tough one.
Maybe Vol. I, so you can hear where she started. Maybe Ecto, which
came right before Warpaint. I love them all, it's hard to tell someone
"you have to get this" because that implies "but don't get that" :-)
and Happy is one of the rare artists (along with, of course, Kate)
who always makes (IMHO) great albums. I love her entire catalog.

Thanks again. If you want a (an...which is it supposed to be?) FAQ,
let me know.

Happy Birthday!

TWW is out of print in the UK.

It was never remaindered (for heaven's sake!)

The Japanese version is getting harder and harder and harder to get.

On a special order basis, I can provide it for $169. (On CD, btw, the cassette
TWW was very CUTE!)

Tori's Ring My Bell cover is from RUBY TRAX a 40-trk NME Charity compilation CD.
We have that for $35. Just for reality testing, anyone see it (IN THE STATES)
any cheaper than this?

Other goodies coming down the pike are the KATE BUSH BIO COMIC ($2.49) avail
March 1, the Tori Amos Book and Tori Amos Tour T-Shirts. That 'new' Kate
interview on blazing GOLD vinyl is pretty neat also.

Does anyone have any idea what the megacool canadian female rock 
singer, composer and producer called Dalbello is up to these days?
The album "She" from 1987 is the last thing I've heard of her.

Anyone from Canada?  Contact address anyone?

Woj is right. Kate doesn't appear on "Death or Glory" but is thanked by
Roy in the liner notes for "being wonderful".

>Which album is "You" on? I have a copy of the song but don't know much 
>else about it, well I do know it came out before "Once."

"You (the Game part 2)" is on "The Unknown Soldier". That album has been
deleted for some time now, in the UK at least, so is likely to be a bit
tricky to get hold of.

I have a copy of a CD called "Practice Makes Perfect:
Piano Demos No. 1" that I'd like to sell.  This is a set
of (bootleg quality) demos of TKI/Lionheart songs and many 
others.  I'm sure there are others on the group who can 
better describe the origin of these recordings (most sound 
like they've been dubbed from records).  $15 plus postage 
will take it.

The CD runs 72:07 and has the following tracks :

 1. Kashka From Baghdad       14. So Soft
 2. Coming Up                 15. I Don't See Why I Shouldn't
 3. Oh, To Be In Love         16. The Kick Inside
 4. Playing Canasta           17. Hammer Horror
 5. Snow                      18. A Rose Growing Old
 6. Ferry Me Over             19. Keep Me Waiting
 7. Lionhearts                20. Davy
 8. Violin                    21. Disbelieving Angel
 9. Craft of Love             22. Don't Push Your Foot On The Heartbreak
10. Queen Eddie               23. Kite
11. In My Garden              24. L'Amour Looks Something Like You

Ahem.... I posted about this on Dec 22nd - definitely appeared on
r.m.g here the same day too (ask Evan!)....

   Just got a note from the KBC this morning. There is "no projected
   release date" for KBVII but only "some time in 1993". More excitingly,
   the Comic Strip film to be shown on BBC2 on Xmas Eve(?) "features a new
   song by Kate called 'Home for Christmas'" !!! (as far as I remember,
   this film is about Xmas turkeys getting their revenge or something like
   that...)

Yep, twice.

Apart from the guitar, I just heard some brass between the second-last
and last verse. I think this sparse an arrangement (and also acoustic
guitar accompanyment) is quite unusual for KaTe. Maybe a foretaste of KBVII?

Didn't sound like something she spent a lot of time on though, IMHO.

The Orb) and Fortran 5 (of which Thrash is a member).  absolutely incredible
stuff, particularly for Orb fans.  incidentally, there is a promo 12" as

Happy New Year to all R.M.G'ers

Just a quick note to say that this year's Comic Strip Christmas Special
in the UK included a song by Kate that I've not heard of before. It was
called "Home For Christmas", and featured just Kate's vocal and acoustic
guitar. Quite a simple song but rather poignent(sp?). It wouldn't surprise
me if Kate didn't write it.
Is this really a new song, or an old one I've never heard about?

And now for the bad news. My video recorder was out of action over 
Christmas (Sod's Law strikes again), so I didn't get a recording.

I found the Iris EP very disappointing.  The inclusion of a couple of

But we are all subject to mood swings.

    Might be a good solution, but I only know a few people who like loud
    music.

    Personnaly, I've started to like Kate's songs when I first heard her on
    TV6 (french musical television, now dead), showing a live concert.

    The first album I bought was : 'The Whole Story'. I was knowing many of
    the songs in this compilation, and I started to buy the 1st real album,
    and latest at this date : 'Hounds of Love'. It was the Initiation.

    Everyone know that after Initiation comes Faith ;^) I've converted a
    friend (just a little bit, sadly :-( ) by doing a small animation on
    my computer and playing 'Wuthering Heights', really magic !

    Sincerely,
                                   -- Philippe

     Hi all, I have just returned from my New Year's sojourn to New York
City.  Thanks to all that replied to my query about record shops; I found a
lot of neat ones though I didn't get to explore quite as much as I would've
liked (for one thing, I was with other people, for another, I was
moderately-to-completely lost much of the time).

     I _did_ manage to find yet another source for Happy CDs -- the Sam
Goody store; it has all the Happy CDs under R, though when I asked the
salesmonster to look Happy up (before I managed to find the CDs myself),
they had only Warpaint listed under RHODES H (pop/rock), so I was surprised
to see the other CDs there.  I bought only Warpaint and have (egads) not
finished listening to it yet.

     Did anyone notice that Peter Gabriel (I'm thinking of the Steam video)
now looks a great deal like Paul Tsongas?  Check it out.

     ObKate:  I've had trouble introducing new listeners to Kate.  If I
start with something weird like The Dreaming or Sat In Your Lap, it is
instantly hated (indeed, I didn't like this stuff at first either).  If I
start with something moderately accessible, like Jig of Life or Hello
Earth or RUTH, I still don't really succeed (RUTH has been the best)
because the songs are too hard to understand (shame on me for playing TNW
piecewise) on one listening.  On the other hand, I have been able to use
the fluffier stuff like This Woman's Work or The Man With the Child in His
Eyes, but then the listener pigeonholes Kate as the woman with the pretty
voice and piano, and I have difficulty opening his/her mind to the songs
with more Kateness.  Any suggestions (beyond simply raising the quality of
my friends)?
