	🦇 3:12am Julie: <---- And don't forget silent fundraiser going on
	3:13am listener mark: Hello
	🦇 3:13am Julie: hi mark!
	3:16am Caryn: I have that SNL episode on VHS somewhere...
	🦇 3:17am Julie: yeah me too! Apparently it's been pulled from online, a shame
	🦇 3:18am Julie: this show is going to be very kick inside heavy
	3:18am Caryn: I'm doing the dance now.
	3:18am Zohra: Hey Kurt, Yes, that Hollie! Hollie and Charles took me over to her parents house first thing, and they were so lovely.
	3:18am listeningcat: Purrfect timing
	🦇 3:18am Julie: Hey Zohra!
	3:19am listeningcat: Swaying
	🦇 3:19am Julie: and twirling
	3:19am listeningcat: Air guitar
	3:19am Zohra: Hi Julie! Zack and I are having the best time listening to this talk - that is literally 4 times the speed I usually talk.
	3:19am Caryn: I'm avoiding the cartwheels though.
	3:20am P-90: Uhhhh....Welcome home, Julie?
	3:20am listeningcat: Someone has to be the band
	3:20am listeningcat: Oh oh, tissues
	🦇 3:20am Julie: my apologies for the butchering of your segments, Zohra. Trying to fit so much in tonight!
	🦇 3:22am Julie: Im doing the dance to this one too..omg
	3:22am Caryn: The cover for this single is one of the most literal record covers ever.
	3:23am Zohra: It's great - but Mr.Protractor and Ms.Abacus were plenty sad
	3:25am Zohra: YES this song turns me into a mime and a pool of tears on the floor
	🦇 3:25am Julie: Yes Caryn, I remember that picture!
	3:26am listeningcat: I never saw past the beauty to even think whether her voice was strange. Beauty is strange. Strange beauty, beauty strange ..
	3:28am listeningcat: It would be like complaining the Moon was too big or something
	3:28am Zohra: I love ze strange Listeningcat. Kate Bush is a thing of absolute be-ooohhlalatee
	🦇 3:29am Julie: aw damn I really gotta go look at the moon! (waits for a long song)
	🦇 3:31am Ken From Hyde Park: The moon is big and round up in the sky now. Shining though wispy clouds here.
	3:33am listeningcat: Now tell me the vocal isn't perfectly appropriate on Sat in Your Lap
	3:37am Zohra: I am going to keep listening as I prepare for dreeeeeammtime. I have a videoshoot in the morning otherwise I'd be typing away until next Wednesday. XO
	🦇 3:37am Julie: Aww see you later Zohra and thanks!
	3:41am Sem Chumbo: Hiya, Julie. Kiss me, Kate. Hello, Darknighters all around the world.
	🦇 3:42am Julie: hey there Sem!
	3:51am listeningcat: Still struggling with the concept of there being a good way to fall asleep during the Ninth Wave TBH
	3:56am Roberto: My high school English teacher played us the Pet Benatar version in class when we were reading WH. She wasn't aware it was a Kate song but a student filled her in. That was my first time hearing of Kate.
	3:59am listeningcat: Well known that the music you get into at 14 or so stays deep within you
	🦇 4:00am Julie: I got the next two albums pretty quickly after but still that one gets to me the most
	4:12am listeningcat: I can see that Kate's music is too English for most US tastes
	🦇 4:13am Julie: what makes it English?
	4:15am listeningcat: Climate, history, understatement, the particular beauty of the English countryside, small scale, detail, spaces between things .. maybe
	🦇 4:16am Julie: not sure I've picked up on climate in that much of Kate's work
	4:17am Caryn: The good thing about Kate's music is that it completely distorts my view of time. Like now, the show's been on for an hour & 15 minutes, but I feel like I've been floating along with the songs for hours and hours
	4:17am listeningcat: :\|
	🦇 4:18am Julie: hmm is that a good thing?
	4:19am Caryn: What, "Cloudbusting" wasn't about climate? Heh.
	🦇 4:21am Julie: sometimes the snow is sat in your lap
	4:21am Caryn: Yes, Julie, it is a good thing. Because it always feels like you're getting more bang for your buck.
	🦇 4:22am Julie: cool!
	4:23am Sem Chumbo: Oh, this is just a very fine thing, doubt very much if Joyce heard this in his head when he wrote it:-)
	4:26am Meghan: Morning all
	🦇 4:26am Julie: morning Meghan!
	4:28am fred: @Sem: I don't know, but that song made me read Ulysses, many years ago
	🦇 4:29am Julie: wow Fred that's so cool I hear that book is a slog
	4:30am Caryn: Okay, Julie's Kate Bush impersonation is now one of my all-time great WFMU moments.
	4:35am listeningcat: re. climate, Kate must have spent many a rainy Sunday afternoon indoors at the piano as a child. Rain does mould the British personality I think.
	🦇 4:35am Julie: I think that was probably Zohra. I did do one but I think I cut it
	4:36am Sem Chumbo: @fred: a major undertaking! Joyce is famously quoted re: the book's depth and insistent obscurity:"It took me nineteen years to write, it should take 19 years to read."
	4:37am Caryn: "Ulysses" is fine. "Finnegan's Wake" on the other hand? Oy.
	4:40am pierre: Kate has always been my childhood fantasy, therefor not only I love her music but I also associate her with a sweet and delicate erotism. (Way too personal info, but yeah, since it's a Kate Bush thing today) Bonjour Julie and Darkies
	🦇 4:42am Julie: hey there pierre!
	🦇 4:43am Ken From Hyde Park: The college radio station where I lived in 1985 had this (Running Up That Hill) in heavy rotation.
	4:44am listeningcat: Are we doing the movements to this?
	4:44am Sem Chumbo: Hey, pierre!
	4:45am Caryn: I was going to write this while you were discussing it on air, but I actually think that "Running Up That Hill" is a very catchy, poppy song in many ways, so I'm not surprised it was such a big hit.
	4:45am Caryn: @listeningcat: I feel like I need a mask and a partner to do the movements properly.
	🦇 4:47am Julie: yes we're dancing
	🦇 4:48am Ken From Hyde Park: 100% Whatever had covers of Wuthering Heights about a month ago.
	🦇 4:49am Julie: of course she did!
	4:50am Nick: I don't know if you have seen this, Julie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJbjAwvRWLs Possibly doesn't make very much sense if you've never watched Alan Partridge (Steve Coogan's greatest creation), but as a big fan of both Alan and Kate, it's something I find myself watching a lot even if I'm not sure it treats the material with the respect it deserves ;-)
	🦇 4:51am Julie: Love Coogan but have yet to check it out actually
	4:53am Caryn: Coogan doing a Kate Bush medley for Comic Relief, Noel Fielding doing the "Wuthering Heights" dance for Sports Relief... Kate seems to be the go-to for a lot of great British comedians.
	4:53am listeningcat: Did you see AP in the BBC Kate documentary, telling how Kate came up to him afterwards and said "it was nice to hear all those old songs again Alan". Later in the doc he also made a wry face about the line in "Wow" - "We'd give you a part, my love, But you'd have to play the fool".
	4:56am listeningcat: Damn! He'd hate me for that, SC not AP :,(
	🦇 5:02am Julie: there are videos of people chicken dancing to kate
	5:02am Caryn: @listeningcat: I haven't seen to doc. Did he do those moments in character as AP, or just as himself? Because if he was in character, you have nothing to worry about.
	5:04am listeningcat: Julie, you should so have to go to England again, Kate is ours!
	5:05am listeningcat: Caryn: Himself, I'm a marked man.
	🦇 5:05am Julie: Hey any excuse to go to England!
	5:07am listeningcat: The doc is a must-see, I don't know how for you American cats. Someone put it on YouTube but it got removed.
	5:09am listeningcat: Plenty of US acts we are desperate to see who never come over. Even some British ones (King Crimson)!
	5:11am Caryn: Oh dear, listeningcat... But here's hoping that doc shows up on our channels at some point.
	5:12am listeningcat: SWIM could send you a copy ..
	5:15am Caryn: SWIM?
	🦇 5:16am Julie: you will have to swim to get a copy
	5:16am Matt from Springfield: Welcome back Julie! Right as you come back from Europe, I'm going over on Saturday! :)
	5:17am listeningcat: Someone Who Isn't Me ;)
	🦇 5:17am Julie: ah lucky you Matt, where you going?
	5:18am listeningcat: For legal reasons it's obviously not me I'm talking about ..
	5:20am Caryn: My love for "This Woman's Work" is added to by my love for the video. Mainly the work of Tim McInnerny, because I love that man.
	🦇 5:20am Julie: it doesn't do that much for me, I'm afraid. it was alix's pick
	5:20am Matt from Springfield: POLAND! And Germany after that! Poland is the official business, unusually, Germany is a week after that. I'll try to comment from o'er there!
	5:21am listeningcat: £250k has just been raised by crowdfunding to get Foo Fighters To Play Cornwall, what's it worth for Kate to cross the pond (but ha ha she can't be bought)?
	5:23am Matt from Springfield: Morning everyone else! Listeningcat, Caryn! Caryn: I also like the video; I pointed out the ambiguity whether Kate's character makes it through. We think she does, as the nurse talks to the husband and a look of relief, but the last shot is Kate the performer closing the "fold" of the piano, like closing a coffin lid? Anyway I like that unclear effect!
	🦇 5:24am Julie: on a different note can we talk about the amazing artwork on the Never For Ever cover?
	5:24am listeningcat: The usual interpretation is she doesn't survive FWIW
	5:24am Matt from Springfield: "Sat In Your Lap"! Great percussion, this has been sampled into a few other songs.
	🦇 5:24am Ken From Hyde Park: Trivia Quiz: Did Futurama ever have Kate Bush's head in any episode?
	🦇 5:24am Julie: really?
	🦇 5:25am Julie: this song isn't long enough
	5:26am listeningcat: NFE artwork is Kate doing what she's best at, doing something nobody else could get away with.
	5:26am Matt from Springfield: @Julie: BSI/Turnip Druid pointed it out - Scott W played one song that had some samples and he mentioned another with the backing track worked in. @Ken HP: I don't know! They SHOULD have!
	5:26am listeningcat: It's long enough if you do the movements
	5:27am Caryn: That cover is fantastic, Julie. And really showcases her love of Arthur Rackham.
	🦇 5:27am Julie: it's kinda terry gilliam
	5:28am Matt from Springfield: Nice artwork! I'm glad she had that cover in 1980, brought back a more psych/prog 60s/70s album cover for that time.
	5:28am listeningcat: It's got birds
	🦇 5:29am Julie: as a kid I was disappointed there was no pretty picture but now I love it. And you need the record to appreciate it
	5:29am listeningcat: You didn't find that pretty?
	🦇 5:30am Julie: Well it's a drawing, I didn't appreciate it as a kid. Like the british TKI cover
	5:31am Matt from Springfield: I found the US EP "Kate Bush" at a record store around here. That cover is from her "Babooshka" video: en.wikipedia.org...
	🦇 5:32am Julie: Yes I have that too, I think there were two different versions, one with an extra track. French stuff!
	5:33am listeningcat: It is rather brown I suppose
	5:34am Matt from Springfield: Wow, intense song! I really need to check out The Dreaming! (Goes w/o saying, eh Julie? ;)
	5:34am Caryn: I've always preferred the UK to the US version of the TKI cover. Although the naturalness of the Japanese TKI cover appeals to me most of all, I think.
	5:35am DeaconDave: Julie! Good Morning!
	5:36am listeningcat: Just looking at Kate being a bat on the reverse sleeve, she's always wanting to fly
	🦇 5:37am Julie: morning Deacon
	5:37am Matt from Springfield: "Kashka"! THAT is a progressive song - prob the first major Western release to detail a gay Arab couple, and positively!
	5:37am listeningcat: Funny packaging the same music in different ways for different cultures, suggests they won't hear the same thing, which of course is true for all of us #deep
	5:38am Caryn: @listeningcat: hey, there's even 2 different US covers for TKI, so it's packaging the same music for the same culture in different ways.
	5:39am Matt from Springfield: Most def! re: Paddy -- he was big on playing diff instruments, esp. stringed ones like mandolin, balalaika or vaguely folk ones.
	5:41am Matt from Springfield: WOW! Roy Harper contributed vocals to Never For Ever! I wonder which track? The chorus at the end of "Breathing" maybe. Have to listen for him!
	🦇 5:42am Ken From Hyde Park: Will there be any Syd Barrett / Kate Bush mash-ups tonight?
	5:42am Caryn: @Matt: yep, he's on "Breathing".
	5:43am listeningcat: Caryn: If I ever release an album (unlikely), I'll definitely have a choice of at least 10 covers aimed at different tribes!
	5:43am Matt from Springfield: Is that Paddy in the photo? He reminds me of Freddy Mercury! (Appropos mention for this Eastern themed song :) Nice photog by brother John.
	5:45am Matt from Springfield: Thanks Caryn! Speaking of the "progressiveness" of "Kashka", I'm also reminded of Van Morrison's epic "Madame George" from '68 - very forward thinking to have a deeply sympathetic portrayal of a cross-dressing Irish drug dealer! :)
	🦇 5:46am Julie: I would assume that is Paddy
	5:46am listeningcat: There's definitely a "way in" to music, that's what covers try to offer simplistically I guess. Once through the door, the complexity of the scene opens up for you to explore.
	5:48am Caryn: @Matt: And Rod Stewart had his "The Killing of Georgie (part I &II)" in 1976.
	5:49am Caryn: Paddy is like a cross between 80s Freddie Mercury and the guy who does the choreography for Sia.
	🦇 5:49am Julie: killing of george is awesome!
	5:50am Matt from Springfield: @Caryn: You're right - that was another great statement, and great song. I've learnt a bit of Polish for my trip - is that one of your many familiar languages? It's interesting for being the most like Russian of the West Slavic langs. And a Roman alphabet that was not applied very well to their words! ;)
	5:52am Caryn: @Matt: only a bit. I was friends with a Polish mathematician's daughter in jr high. Occasionally the Polish/Russian closeness confuses me. Like the word "street" is "ulika" in one, "ulitsa" in the other, and I occasionally forget which is which.
	5:52am Sem Chumbo: Typically, I avoid cliché like the plague, but I am Bushed big time. I missed KB the first time around but now have had a glimpse of what I have missed. Thanks, Julie, for a flying overview of an artist for whom I will make much more time. ahead. Much appreciated. Jak jest twój polski, @Matt?
	5:53am Matt from Springfield: Ha, Sia's choreographer looks like that as well? That look just might be coming back! ;)
	5:55am Matt from Springfield: @Caryn: The good thing about Slavics is many words are the same across all the langs, but our familiar "tr" sound going into "tshe" but still spelled tr is confusing! And I know what you mean about those little diffs. My guess would be "ulitsa" Russki and "ulika" Polski, but I could be wrong!
	5:55am dave: Thanks for doing this Julie, I loved this show
	🦇 5:55am Ken From Hyde Park: Very much enjoyed the show tonight. Thanks for putting this together. The heck with sleep!
	5:55am listeningcat: Anyone think of any other artists who have been been quite as huge as Kate is in Britain while being "not got" in the US?
	5:55am Matt from Springfield: Tak, Sem! :) Good morning! Have you ever been there? I'm the first person I know to visit there!
	5:56am Caryn: @Matt: yep, you got it right. I remember which way it is if I think of them in written form, but if I hear the word, I need to think for a bit.
	5:56am Matt from Springfield: Of course one of Azar's "Kate-y" songs! Although several artists have done "Kate-y" songs over the years!
	🦇 5:57am Julie: thanks for listening, guys! Pledddge!
	5:57am listeningcat: That was so Kate-y it fooled me!
	5:58am listeningcat: Thanks Julie, you've got taste.
	5:58am Sem Chumbo: @the Matt: nearest I've been is Hungary. Memorized some politeness phrases, but did not have a clue about the language otherwise. Three weeks at a health spa in the Danube...
	5:59am listeningcat: Cue Monty Python - Dirty Hungarian Phrasebook
	5:59am Sem Chumbo: on an island in the Danube, between Buda and Pest
	5:59am Caryn: @listeningcat: hmm, can't think of any with such a long career. Certainly there's plenty of acts that have been huge for a while at least in the UK, but are either virtually unknown or have smaller, cult followings in the US. But as long-standing artists as Kate? Not to my mind.
	5:59am Sem Chumbo: @listening cat: hilarious!
	6:00am Matt from Springfield: @the Sem: Cool. Hungarian is it's own breed of lang, not familiar with it but would like to be if I visit - many great Central Euro areas to see! Buda AND Pest, see both of them! @listeningcat: Ah, you reminded me of that! :)
	6:00am Caryn: Ooh, Sem, I think I've read about that spa in a magazine. And my hovercraft is full of eels.
	6:00am Matt from Springfield: Thanks for bringing us Kate and these other Heavy People, Julie! Have a great Thursday, everyone! :)
	6:01am P-90: Thanks Julie.
	6:14am Caryn: My grandma was one of the heads of the Finnish-Hungarian Society. She speaks fluent Hungarian. I haven't picked up any of it from her, though. Apart from some food terminology. :(
	3:02pm Van in DC: The Dreaming is the greatest album ever made.
	3:09pm Van in DC: By the way, what's this talk of the BBC documentary being removed? It's been here the whole time www.youtube.com... You're welcome
	11:31pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Kate Bush remixed in live sound collage on WFMU EXACTLY one year earlier: wfmu.org... ("Conduct the Symphony of Your Life") and in the mix almost exactly two years ago: lastever.org... ("Long and gentle (How many mistakes?)") Hi, Julie!
	12:18pm Bob from Millburn: Julie, Great show. Thank you.

	3:20am P-90: Uhhhh....Welcome home, Julie?
	3:20am listeningcat: Someone has to be the band
	3:20am listeningcat: Oh oh, tissues
	🦇 3:20am Julie: my apologies for the butchering of your segments, Zohra. Trying to fit so much in tonight!
	🦇 3:22am Julie: Im doing the dance to this one too..omg
	3:22am Caryn: The cover for this single is one of the most literal record covers ever.
	3:23am Zohra: It's great - but Mr.Protractor and Ms.Abacus were plenty sad
	3:25am Zohra: YES this song turns me into a mime and a pool of tears on the floor
	🦇 3:25am Julie: Yes Caryn, I remember that picture!
	3:26am listeningcat: I never saw past the beauty to even think whether her voice was strange. Beauty is strange. Strange beauty, beauty strange ..
	3:28am listeningcat: It would be like complaining the Moon was too big or something
	3:28am Zohra: I love ze strange Listeningcat. Kate Bush is a thing of absolute be-ooohhlalatee
	🦇 3:29am Julie: aw damn I really gotta go look at the moon! (waits for a long song)
	🦇 3:31am Ken From Hyde Park: The moon is big and round up in the sky now. Shining though wispy clouds here.
	3:33am listeningcat: Now tell me the vocal isn't perfectly appropriate on Sat in Your Lap
	3:37am Zohra: I am going to keep listening as I prepare for dreeeeeammtime. I have a videoshoot in the morning otherwise I'd be typing away until next Wednesday. XO
	🦇 3:37am Julie: Aww see you later Zohra and thanks!
	3:41am Sem Chumbo: Hiya, Julie. Kiss me, Kate. Hello, Darknighters all around the world.
	🦇 3:42am Julie: hey there Sem!
	3:51am listeningcat: Still struggling with the concept of there being a good way to fall asleep during the Ninth Wave TBH
	3:56am Roberto: My high school English teacher played us the Pet Benatar version in class when we were reading WH. She wasn't aware it was a Kate song but a student filled her in. That was my first time hearing of Kate.
	3:59am listeningcat: Well known that the music you get into at 14 or so stays deep within you
	🦇 4:00am Julie: I got the next two albums pretty quickly after but still that one gets to me the most
	4:12am listeningcat: I can see that Kate's music is too English for most US tastes
	🦇 4:13am Julie: what makes it English?
	4:15am listeningcat: Climate, history, understatement, the particular beauty of the English countryside, small scale, detail, spaces between things .. maybe
	🦇 4:16am Julie: not sure I've picked up on climate in that much of Kate's work
	4:17am Caryn: The good thing about Kate's music is that it completely distorts my view of time. Like now, the show's been on for an hour & 15 minutes, but I feel like I've been floating along with the songs for hours and hours
	4:17am listeningcat: :\|
	🦇 4:18am Julie: hmm is that a good thing?
	4:19am Caryn: What, "Cloudbusting" wasn't about climate? Heh.
	🦇 4:21am Julie: sometimes the snow is sat in your lap
	4:21am Caryn: Yes, Julie, it is a good thing. Because it always feels like you're getting more bang for your buck.
	🦇 4:22am Julie: cool!
	4:23am Sem Chumbo: Oh, this is just a very fine thing, doubt very much if Joyce heard this in his head when he wrote it:-)
	4:26am Meghan: Morning all
	🦇 4:26am Julie: morning Meghan!
	4:28am fred: @Sem: I don't know, but that song made me read Ulysses, many years ago
	🦇 4:29am Julie: wow Fred that's so cool I hear that book is a slog
	4:30am Caryn: Okay, Julie's Kate Bush impersonation is now one of my all-time great WFMU moments.
	4:35am listeningcat: re. climate, Kate must have spent many a rainy Sunday afternoon indoors at the piano as a child. Rain does mould the British personality I think.
	🦇 4:35am Julie: I think that was probably Zohra. I did do one but I think I cut it
	4:36am Sem Chumbo: @fred: a major undertaking! Joyce is famously quoted re: the book's depth and insistent obscurity:"It took me nineteen years to write, it should take 19 years to read."
	4:37am Caryn: "Ulysses" is fine. "Finnegan's Wake" on the other hand? Oy.
	4:40am pierre: Kate has always been my childhood fantasy, therefor not only I love her music but I also associate her with a sweet and delicate erotism. (Way too personal info, but yeah, since it's a Kate Bush thing today) Bonjour Julie and Darkies
	🦇 4:42am Julie: hey there pierre!
	🦇 4:43am Ken From Hyde Park: The college radio station where I lived in 1985 had this (Running Up That Hill) in heavy rotation.
	4:44am listeningcat: Are we doing the movements to this?
	4:44am Sem Chumbo: Hey, pierre!
	4:45am Caryn: I was going to write this while you were discussing it on air, but I actually think that "Running Up That Hill" is a very catchy, poppy song in many ways, so I'm not surprised it was such a big hit.
	4:45am Caryn: @listeningcat: I feel like I need a mask and a partner to do the movements properly.
	🦇 4:47am Julie: yes we're dancing
	🦇 4:48am Ken From Hyde Park: 100% Whatever had covers of Wuthering Heights about a month ago.
	🦇 4:49am Julie: of course she did!
	4:50am Nick: I don't know if you have seen this, Julie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJbjAwvRWLs Possibly doesn't make very much sense if you've never watched Alan Partridge (Steve Coogan's greatest creation), but as a big fan of both Alan and Kate, it's something I find myself watching a lot even if I'm not sure it treats the material with the respect it deserves ;-)
	🦇 4:51am Julie: Love Coogan but have yet to check it out actually
	4:53am Caryn: Coogan doing a Kate Bush medley for Comic Relief, Noel Fielding doing the "Wuthering Heights" dance for Sports Relief... Kate seems to be the go-to for a lot of great British comedians.
	4:53am listeningcat: Did you see AP in the BBC Kate documentary, telling how Kate came up to him afterwards and said "it was nice to hear all those old songs again Alan". Later in the doc he also made a wry face about the line in "Wow" - "We'd give you a part, my love, But you'd have to play the fool".
	4:56am listeningcat: Damn! He'd hate me for that, SC not AP :,(
	🦇 5:02am Julie: there are videos of people chicken dancing to kate
	5:02am Caryn: @listeningcat: I haven't seen to doc. Did he do those moments in character as AP, or just as himself? Because if he was in character, you have nothing to worry about.
	5:04am listeningcat: Julie, you should so have to go to England again, Kate is ours!
	5:05am listeningcat: Caryn: Himself, I'm a marked man.
	🦇 5:05am Julie: Hey any excuse to go to England!
	5:07am listeningcat: The doc is a must-see, I don't know how for you American cats. Someone put it on YouTube but it got removed.
	5:09am listeningcat: Plenty of US acts we are desperate to see who never come over. Even some British ones (King Crimson)!
	5:11am Caryn: Oh dear, listeningcat... But here's hoping that doc shows up on our channels at some point.
	5:12am listeningcat: SWIM could send you a copy ..
	5:15am Caryn: SWIM?
	🦇 5:16am Julie: you will have to swim to get a copy
	5:16am Matt from Springfield: Welcome back Julie! Right as you come back from Europe, I'm going over on Saturday! :)
	5:17am listeningcat: Someone Who Isn't Me ;)
	🦇 5:17am Julie: ah lucky you Matt, where you going?
	5:18am listeningcat: For legal reasons it's obviously not me I'm talking about ..
	5:20am Caryn: My love for "This Woman's Work" is added to by my love for the video. Mainly the work of Tim McInnerny, because I love that man.
	🦇 5:20am Julie: it doesn't do that much for me, I'm afraid. it was alix's pick
	5:20am Matt from Springfield: POLAND! And Germany after that! Poland is the official business, unusually, Germany is a week after that. I'll try to comment from o'er there!
	5:21am listeningcat: £250k has just been raised by crowdfunding to get Foo Fighters To Play Cornwall, what's it worth for Kate to cross the pond (but ha ha she can't be bought)?
	5:23am Matt from Springfield: Morning everyone else! Listeningcat, Caryn! Caryn: I also like the video; I pointed out the ambiguity whether Kate's character makes it through. We think she does, as the nurse talks to the husband and a look of relief, but the last shot is Kate the performer closing the "fold" of the piano, like closing a coffin lid? Anyway I like that unclear effect!
	🦇 5:24am Julie: on a different note can we talk about the amazing artwork on the Never For Ever cover?
	5:24am listeningcat: The usual interpretation is she doesn't survive FWIW
	5:24am Matt from Springfield: "Sat In Your Lap"! Great percussion, this has been sampled into a few other songs.
	🦇 5:24am Ken From Hyde Park: Trivia Quiz: Did Futurama ever have Kate Bush's head in any episode?
	🦇 5:24am Julie: really?
	🦇 5:25am Julie: this song isn't long enough
	5:26am listeningcat: NFE artwork is Kate doing what she's best at, doing something nobody else could get away with.
	5:26am Matt from Springfield: @Julie: BSI/Turnip Druid pointed it out - Scott W played one song that had some samples and he mentioned another with the backing track worked in. @Ken HP: I don't know! They SHOULD have!
	5:26am listeningcat: It's long enough if you do the movements
	5:27am Caryn: That cover is fantastic, Julie. And really showcases her love of Arthur Rackham.
	🦇 5:27am Julie: it's kinda terry gilliam
	5:28am Matt from Springfield: Nice artwork! I'm glad she had that cover in 1980, brought back a more psych/prog 60s/70s album cover for that time.
	5:28am listeningcat: It's got birds
	🦇 5:29am Julie: as a kid I was disappointed there was no pretty picture but now I love it. And you need the record to appreciate it
	5:29am listeningcat: You didn't find that pretty?
	🦇 5:30am Julie: Well it's a drawing, I didn't appreciate it as a kid. Like the british TKI cover
	5:31am Matt from Springfield: I found the US EP "Kate Bush" at a record store around here. That cover is from her "Babooshka" video: en.wikipedia.org...
	🦇 5:32am Julie: Yes I have that too, I think there were two different versions, one with an extra track. French stuff!
	5:33am listeningcat: It is rather brown I suppose
	5:34am Matt from Springfield: Wow, intense song! I really need to check out The Dreaming! (Goes w/o saying, eh Julie? ;)
	5:34am Caryn: I've always preferred the UK to the US version of the TKI cover. Although the naturalness of the Japanese TKI cover appeals to me most of all, I think.
	5:35am DeaconDave: Julie! Good Morning!
	5:36am listeningcat: Just looking at Kate being a bat on the reverse sleeve, she's always wanting to fly
	🦇 5:37am Julie: morning Deacon
	5:37am Matt from Springfield: "Kashka"! THAT is a progressive song - prob the first major Western release to detail a gay Arab couple, and positively!
	5:37am listeningcat: Funny packaging the same music in different ways for different cultures, suggests they won't hear the same thing, which of course is true for all of us #deep
	5:38am Caryn: @listeningcat: hey, there's even 2 different US covers for TKI, so it's packaging the same music for the same culture in different ways.
	5:39am Matt from Springfield: Most def! re: Paddy -- he was big on playing diff instruments, esp. stringed ones like mandolin, balalaika or vaguely folk ones.
	5:41am Matt from Springfield: WOW! Roy Harper contributed vocals to Never For Ever! I wonder which track? The chorus at the end of "Breathing" maybe. Have to listen for him!
	🦇 5:42am Ken From Hyde Park: Will there be any Syd Barrett / Kate Bush mash-ups tonight?
	5:42am Caryn: @Matt: yep, he's on "Breathing".
	5:43am listeningcat: Caryn: If I ever release an album (unlikely), I'll definitely have a choice of at least 10 covers aimed at different tribes!
	5:43am Matt from Springfield: Is that Paddy in the photo? He reminds me of Freddy Mercury! (Appropos mention for this Eastern themed song :) Nice photog by brother John.
	5:45am Matt from Springfield: Thanks Caryn! Speaking of the "progressiveness" of "Kashka", I'm also reminded of Van Morrison's epic "Madame George" from '68 - very forward thinking to have a deeply sympathetic portrayal of a cross-dressing Irish drug dealer! :)
	🦇 5:46am Julie: I would assume that is Paddy
	5:46am listeningcat: There's definitely a "way in" to music, that's what covers try to offer simplistically I guess. Once through the door, the complexity of the scene opens up for you to explore.
	5:48am Caryn: @Matt: And Rod Stewart had his "The Killing of Georgie (part I &II)" in 1976.
	5:49am Caryn: Paddy is like a cross between 80s Freddie Mercury and the guy who does the choreography for Sia.
	🦇 5:49am Julie: killing of george is awesome!
	5:50am Matt from Springfield: @Caryn: You're right - that was another great statement, and great song. I've learnt a bit of Polish for my trip - is that one of your many familiar languages? It's interesting for being the most like Russian of the West Slavic langs. And a Roman alphabet that was not applied very well to their words! ;)
	5:52am Caryn: @Matt: only a bit. I was friends with a Polish mathematician's daughter in jr high. Occasionally the Polish/Russian closeness confuses me. Like the word "street" is "ulika" in one, "ulitsa" in the other, and I occasionally forget which is which.
	5:52am Sem Chumbo: Typically, I avoid cliché like the plague, but I am Bushed big time. I missed KB the first time around but now have had a glimpse of what I have missed. Thanks, Julie, for a flying overview of an artist for whom I will make much more time. ahead. Much appreciated. Jak jest twój polski, @Matt?
	5:53am Matt from Springfield: Ha, Sia's choreographer looks like that as well? That look just might be coming back! ;)
	5:55am Matt from Springfield: @Caryn: The good thing about Slavics is many words are the same across all the langs, but our familiar "tr" sound going into "tshe" but still spelled tr is confusing! And I know what you mean about those little diffs. My guess would be "ulitsa" Russki and "ulika" Polski, but I could be wrong!
	5:55am dave: Thanks for doing this Julie, I loved this show
	🦇 5:55am Ken From Hyde Park: Very much enjoyed the show tonight. Thanks for putting this together. The heck with sleep!
	5:55am listeningcat: Anyone think of any other artists who have been been quite as huge as Kate is in Britain while being "not got" in the US?
	5:55am Matt from Springfield: Tak, Sem! :) Good morning! Have you ever been there? I'm the first person I know to visit there!
	5:56am Caryn: @Matt: yep, you got it right. I remember which way it is if I think of them in written form, but if I hear the word, I need to think for a bit.
	5:56am Matt from Springfield: Of course one of Azar's "Kate-y" songs! Although several artists have done "Kate-y" songs over the years!
	🦇 5:57am Julie: thanks for listening, guys! Pledddge!
	5:57am listeningcat: That was so Kate-y it fooled me!
	5:58am listeningcat: Thanks Julie, you've got taste.
	5:58am Sem Chumbo: @the Matt: nearest I've been is Hungary. Memorized some politeness phrases, but did not have a clue about the language otherwise. Three weeks at a health spa in the Danube...
	5:59am listeningcat: Cue Monty Python - Dirty Hungarian Phrasebook
	5:59am Sem Chumbo: on an island in the Danube, between Buda and Pest
	5:59am Caryn: @listeningcat: hmm, can't think of any with such a long career. Certainly there's plenty of acts that have been huge for a while at least in the UK, but are either virtually unknown or have smaller, cult followings in the US. But as long-standing artists as Kate? Not to my mind.
	5:59am Sem Chumbo: @listening cat: hilarious!
	6:00am Matt from Springfield: @the Sem: Cool. Hungarian is it's own breed of lang, not familiar with it but would like to be if I visit - many great Central Euro areas to see! Buda AND Pest, see both of them! @listeningcat: Ah, you reminded me of that! :)
	6:00am Caryn: Ooh, Sem, I think I've read about that spa in a magazine. And my hovercraft is full of eels.
	6:00am Matt from Springfield: Thanks for bringing us Kate and these other Heavy People, Julie! Have a great Thursday, everyone! :)
	6:01am P-90: Thanks Julie.
	6:14am Caryn: My grandma was one of the heads of the Finnish-Hungarian Society. She speaks fluent Hungarian. I haven't picked up any of it from her, though. Apart from some food terminology. :(
	3:02pm Van in DC: The Dreaming is the greatest album ever made.
	3:09pm Van in DC: By the way, what's this talk of the BBC documentary being removed? It's been here the whole time www.youtube.com... You're welcome
	11:31pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Kate Bush remixed in live sound collage on WFMU EXACTLY one year earlier: wfmu.org... ("Conduct the Symphony of Your Life") and in the mix almost exactly two years ago: lastever.org... ("Long and gentle (How many mistakes?)") Hi, Julie!
	12:18pm Bob from Millburn: Julie, Great show. Thank you.
