Um...I wouldn't exactly refer to "Cloudbusting" as recent.  I think she
wanted to look boyish for the video, but this is a long shot.

Her hair, since *I* last saw it, is long again and quite beautiful.  Check
out the videos from _The_Sensual_World_ to see it...I think she looks
absolutely wonderful in the title video myself, and her outfit just SCREAMS
Kateness to me.

I attempted to get on the LOVE-HOUNDS mailing list a few years ago
but never got any response at all from my subscription requests.
We recently got News and I happend to spot GAFFA. Hello all. Room 
for one more? 

Questions, questions:

 What's the latest scoop on a new album (other than Pete G.'s MTV
 comment)?

 A CD was released right after TSW. Not having a CD player at the time,
 I never got a hold of it. What was it called and is it out of print
 and am I out of lucK finding it?

 *HOW* much was that box set???????

 One for Chris and Vicky - I'm stuck in the FAR west Chi suburbs. Any 
 chance your radio station could turn the POWER knob to '11' while your 
 show is on? Don't suppose any cable companies carry your station?

 What's a good Happy album to try out? Next best? 


I still haven't buried my glow-in-the-dark yoyo...

He's had quite a few replies to that advert and has met up with some of
them. The advert is included as an insert in the new album 'Death or
Glory', incidentally. 

Kate was at his last London concert at the Bloomsbury Theatre, on
January 9th, in the circle. This was the second time I have been at one
of Roy's gigs with Kate present, and both times I didn't notice (the
last time was at the Woolwich Tramshed in 1991). It was a cracking
concert by the way. I think he tries that little bit harder when she is
in the audience!

AAAAAAAAAAAH!  NO NO NO NO NO!  I could actually have HAD those songs

Seriously?  I spend about $10 on CDs every other month.  At that rate,
it'd take, let's see, two and a half years of not buying any other CDs.
Only a year and a half if I sold my other KaTe CDs.  Great.

Is there someone I can write to about getting "Odds and Sods" released
anyway?  EMI-UK, Columbia, somebody?  Anybody?

This isn't a flame (in the sense of nasty words and personal slurs) so it's
not going directly to Evan - but I don't mind political discussions at all,
as long as they don't dominate the content. Heck, until there is a new
album, something has to occupy the list :)

The Motor-Voter Act is a great idea. Yes, voting should be taken seriously,
but you have to be ABLE to vote before you think seriously about your
choice. And how seriously do you think the majority of American voters
(until the last time, a smallish percentage of the overall American
population) take their choices anyway? Making it difficult for people to
register is not going to eliminate stupid voters.

   Actually, the motor-voter Act would have allowed for automatic voter
registration at _ANY_ state agency, including welfare and unemployment
offices.  The Republicans were against it for the same reason that the 
Democrats were for it:  Democrats, and "liberals" in particular (a _VERY_
broad and sweeping generalization, I know) are generally acknowledged as
being the "benefactors" of the "downtrodden".  This would (conceivably)
make those registered by the act more likely to vote for liberal democrats.

[[[ Standard Disclaimer and apology...]]]
   Sorry about raising the ugly head of politics in this gentle and fine
news group.  I just had to add this... FWIW, I learned in Boy Scouts that 
voting is _NOT_ a right, but a responsiblity, and should be taken seriously.
That is the main reason I oppose the M-V Act.  Besides, I don't know what 
it was like in the rest of the country, but in _EVERY_ major shopping mall
in the greater Kansas City metropolitan area, you couldn't swing a dead cat
by the tail without hitting someone trying to register you to vote! (This is
yet another colorful midwestern phrase).  Besides, I voted for Marrou/Lords!

She was interviewed by |>oug /\lan in the US in 1985. From his
transcript, it didn't sound too disasterous to me (apart from the
problems with the mikes at the beginning 8^) - maybe Chris can
elucidate a little?

As for KaTe having access to Love-Hounds, I think Peter FG-M now
having net access (haven't heard much from you lately Peter!) is as
close a contact with KaTe as we need, or indeed want - after all, she
has to preserve some kind of mystery and mystique - It simply wouldn't
do for her to be taking part in her fans' flame-wars, now, would it?

Now wait a minute.  I'm glad you decided to post that intriguing argument
against astrology, merely on an intellectual level...but I happen to find
that P.S. inordinately offensive.

I am an agnostic who finds astrology quite interesting (as evidenced by
my .sig), but I couldn't accurately say that I believe in it.  However, if I
did, what would be to stop me from detailing all the arguments against
Christianity and condemning believers in that religion as having "problems?" 
Or simply insert any religious, or philosophical, belief in that sentence
for "Christianity", even atheism, since there are arguments against that as
well.  Hopefully it's obvious that your P.S. is not only arrogant, it is
also mightily prejudiced.

Please do us a favor and keep the intellectual content while losing the
personal remarks, OK?  Astrology may very well be silly, and so may
Christianity, but I hardly think it becomes us to imply that others are
inferior because they believe something that we do not.  Whether it's true
or not, courtesy should keep our anti-preaching in check.

And isn't this a music newsgroup anyhow?

I hate to be the one to point this out to you, but those videos to 
which you're referring were shot roughly *3* years ago.  They may have
absolutely no bearing on the state of KaTe's hair now.  In that length
of time she could have gotten a crew cut and then grown it all back to
its old length.

I vaguely remember a reference to long hair in the "Rocketman" video,
but that was also a year ago and may have no bearing whatsoever on the
present.  It only takes a minute or two to undo years of hair-growing
(says he whose long hair makes him neurotic around scissors...;-)

If by "next year's winter games" you mean the Winter Olympics, then
she won't be able to use this song unless the rules are changed.  Songs
with vocals are not permitted at the Olympics, or indeed at any
amateur figure skating championships (e.g. the World Championships).
Rosalyn Sumners was in the Olympics quite a while ago (1984, I believe),
so she's almost certainly professional now.  The show you saw was most
probably a competition among professionals, where vocal music IS allowed.

I know that the rules governing who is eligible to compete in the
"amateur" competitions is changing now, so some people who are
professionals will probably be able to compete at the next Olympics.
But I have heard nothing about changes to the rules that determine
permissible music.
