“he’s too busy hitting the vaseline” She was very norty. On Top of the Pops it came out as “he’s too busy hitting the bustling”. And the Infant Kiss – “and what is this the infant kiss, back home they’d call me dirty”. “Every girl knows about those punctual blues” “The more I think about sex the better it gets”. No wonder my mother thought she was a bad influence.

Have to agree with Nigel, probably Kate’s most under-rated album. 50 Words For Snow echoes a lot of this, so it’s worth a re-listen. (If you don’t care for one, you may not care for the other.)

I don’t know whether it was rushed or not — Kate had probably written hundreds of songs by then — but none of this album’s much fit the mold of the pop song, then or now.

I totally agree… we share the same opinion on that matter

Lionheart…. I love that album….. It is eccentric and genial … I do not consider it in any way inferior to The Kick Inside… I love ”In Search Of Peter Pan”. ”Symphony in Blue” is a wonderful melody…. who could ask for more?

Dave darling

I have spoken to the manager & there is no disabled access to downstairs & no disabled toilet facilities. So sadly we will not be able to come. I thought you knew I was now completely wheelchair bound, but I must have been mistaken.

Blessings, Lise x

Hello Lise – you’ve probably seen what Dave has posted on Facebook:

“Hello People. Dave from Homeground here. First off let me just say that my step mother and has MS, she is totally paralised, cannot move been like that for nearly 20 years, so please don’t think we didn’t think. The honest truth is that we had to compromise, we are financing this party oursleves, which is why it had to be a Sunday. Saturday hires are much more expensive. We needed somewhere in a central location and that was private and had good facilities. I looked at several and this was by far the best option. Honestly I didn’t realise that Lise wouldn’t be able to come if there were stairs and I have already, previous to this post been msg with her about it. So this does seem a bit unfair chaps and in fact I have aksed the gen mgr of the club if there is any way around it and I’m still waiting for an answer. We want this to be a fun and relaxed party for Kate fans to celebrate the fact we have lasted this long. Lise knows how much we want her to come and if it’s possible I will make it happen. Dxx”

Here on February 21 the British Music Awards have concluded and Adele continues her momentus sweep of a good deal of the prizes, landing best album and best female vocalist amongst other categories in the awards ceremony. She also racked up at the Grammys earlier in the month. THere was an interesting article from the internet concerning Kate Bush. The article: “Theo Bleckman covers Kate Bush on Hello Earth!” The tracklisting is carried within this article. April 7th album release at NYC’ Highline Ballroom. Many kate Bush songs comprise the Bleckman album. In anycase I wonder what Kate Bush’s reaction to the recent British Music Awards results would be.

“It’s fortunate she was starting out in the late 70s rather than the impatient music scene of today …” I’m sorry, but that sentence is bulls**t. Obviously the music scene back then was impatient, otherwise Lionheart wouldn’t have been published so soon after “The Kick Inside”. Today nobody would release a second album just nine month after the first one. Sorry, sometimes “back in the old days”-arguments just don’t make sense.

I’ve never understood why this is regarded as the black sheep of Kate’s output. I absolutely adore this album and if I was to arrange a list of her ten albums in order of preference, this would be high on the list. I would certainly put it on a par with TKI. It has an attractive but deceptively innocent simplicity, which I’m pleased she has to some extent recaptured on ’50 Words for Snow’. It doesn’t feel rushed to me at all.

For me there isn’t a bad track and some are pure magic – ‘In Search of Peter Pan’,’ Kashka from Baghdad’, and one of my very favourite Kate’s tracks the wonderfully wacky ‘Coffee Homeground’. I still play the album every now and again, and have done for the past 34 years. Definitely an under-appreciated gem.
