She's on the cover of _Warpaint_ although she doesn't really look the
same in real life. She has long blonde hair with bangs, her face is long
and narrow and quite distinctive. The Warpaint photo makes her look 
somewhat hard-edged and angular, but in person she's very beautiful.
If you have ftp access, look in the hardees.rutgers.edu pub/hr/gifs
for promo.gif (I think that's wht it's called) and you can see what
the real Happy looks like. It's a beautiful photo.

Those are Happy's eyes on the cover of Rearmament, btw.

About the monsters...she painted them. Monsters are her friends, and
real or imagined monsters abound in her lyrics. Pay no attention to
the covers though, it's what's inside that counts. If you do love
Ecto, and Rearmament when you get it, then the others are must-haves
too. Glad you found her! (In Sam Goody...! Will wonders never cease!)

Her 6th album is due out February 9th.

Subject: Kate on MTV!
Newsgroups: rec.music.gaffa

MTV-Europe uses Kate in a trailer!!!

My experiences of Thursday, January 7, 1993:

I didn't believe my eyes when I watched MTV: They have a little trailer
called 'The four seasons of MTV'. They play Vivaldi in extremely low fidelity
and show several video clips in a black-and-white fashion with disturbances
like in a film of the twenties. And - one of those clips in the 'Spring'
season, only visible for about one second - is Kate Bush wearing an umbrella,
fresh out of The Big Sky. Finally, after that Paul King said what to expect
in the late night edition of MTV Greatest Hits. About them was Kate again,
I looked into MTV Text and found: Cloud Busting (their spelling). Today they
play several videos where some other stars are featuring, and so they thought
of Donald Sutherland. AT LEAST THEY HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN HER!

Bye for now,

Uli

P.S.: They showed the 4 seasons clip again, so watch out!

Re the discussion on how or how not to introduce people to Kate Bush:

Admittedly "The Dreaming" may not be the best place to start, but take into
consideration the musical tastes of those you are attempting to
indoctrinate.
Yesterday I was driving around with our local "modern music" station on the
radio (alternative, techno, rave, etc.) and who should pop up in the middle
of the set but Ms. Kate and 'The Dreaming' (song). I was most delighted to
hear
that it fit right in and sounded extremely contemporary, with the throaty
vocal, bashing syndrums, orchestral swoops...another example of how Ms.
Kate is ahead of her time!
 
So if the person you are trying to convert likes "modern music"/alternative
stuff, try hitting 'em with The Dreaming at full volume. It just might
work.

Cheers, Fiona

    Do you mean the _This Woman's Work_ symbol? We usually think of that
as the KT/Fem symbol. It seems more likely that the circle and cross is
intended to represent "female" rather than specifically "Venus".

    The time of birth is not noted on her birth certificate. Please note
that I mention this purely in the interest of showing off. I believe
astrology is a load of dingo's kidneys.

I guess most of the UK Lovehounds must still be on holiday as this seems to
be the first mention of this programme.

Yes the song was written by Kate (the credits at the end confirmed this).
The song was played twice (at least - I missed the start of the programme)
once during the programme and then again over the credits. The vocal parts
were just accompanied by the acoustic guitar but these were followed by
short instrumental breaks were more instruments joined in. Although it
was quite short I thought Kate's voice was on good form and I enjoyed the
"twnagy" guitar accompaniment. WOuld have made a good B-side for a Xmas
single.

Many people have written to Happy and gotten replies.  I have
sent notes of appreciation along with my orders, and, although
generally not expecting or requesting replies, have gotten some
back from Happy.  She's been pretty busy lately working on a new
album due out in a month or two and may not have as much time to

Would a Benno or a Wolfgang who ordered Happy Rhodes CDs recently please

Sorry again.

Well, there's at least *one* Miranda Sex Garden fan out here. Any
others yet? If there are, what do you think of their different
material? I first got the _Gush_Forth_my_Tears_ CD single with the
"dance" remixes, which I really love. Then I got _Madra_, and I like
that a lot too. I don't have _Iris_ yet; can anyone tell me what it's
like?

Subject: Under the Ivy Bush
Newsgroups: rec.music.gaffa

Whew! I'm almost blow(n) away!

I got hold of a copy of the 'Under the Ivy Bush' bootleg LP. Amongst others
it features a live version of 'James and the Cold Gun' that's blowing me
away. This one is really different, and - as IED says - remarkably good for
'79 audience bootleg recordings. Anyway, this version is incredibly, only
recommended for Truefans, because it is quite disturbed/ing! Nobody seems
able to hold a note. That stands not only for Kate's vocals, but for all
instruments too. If this is not some pitch problem with the recording, it
has to be purpose! Alltogether, this piece is a heavy experience...

Oh, before I forget: A while ago we discussed the bootleggers' way to 
disguise the contents of a disc by selecting strange track titles that
only resemble the actual one. We did that on the example of the 'Back Sides'
vinyl label. The Label of the 'Under the Ivy Bush' LP is similar:

Side 1:
  Climb every mountain - Running up that Hill
  Blue Sky - The Big Sky
  Jimmy get your gun - James and the cold gun
  Gymnopedies - Satie's first Gymnopedie & Moving
 
Side 2:
  Only have eyes for you - The Man with the Child in his Eyes
  Fiddler on the roof - Violin
  Horror at home - Hammer horror
  High as a bird - Kite
  High Society - Wuthering Heights
  Under the Ivy - Under the Ivy
 
The last one is an exception to the rule, but since it is more unknown than
the other ones (it is not an album track) and since the whole album has that
title, it's not adding too much to the risk of producing the bootleg. Note
also that the album is by the KTB Band, something we all know, but something
that not everybody connects with Kate Bush.

Bye for now,

Uli

   She *might* read it, but the family has a policy of not replying to
*anything* sent directly to the Farm. Andy (IED) has sent a dozen white
roses to Kate on her birthday for years, but other than the time at the
convention, Kate and her family have never acknowleged them. The KBC
is the best route, and Kate *has* replied to letters sent there. But
don't expect a reply, and you won't be disapointed.
