Friday Free Ad for Kate

Apologies for the lateness, the morning was given over to putting up a new kitchen ceiling at an apartment (obviously, no internet... )

Oh England, My Lion Heart - Tour of Life 1979


I remember reading somewhere than Lionheart was the artist's personal favorite...

Eat the Music



From "the Line, the Cross, and the Curve" (album, the Red Shoes), so the first bit is a little surreal, but then again, it's Kate, so that's redundant...

The day after Thanksgiving, what could be better than people dancing in fruit?

Manliness!

I followed this link from The Glenn to find that this blog is supposedly gender neutral and has a 50% chance of being written by a woman.

"We guess http://jerub-baal-studio.blogspot.com/ is written by a woman (50%), however it's quite gender neutral."




OK, well here goes...

Will Dale Earnhardt Jr. ever break this streak and win a NASCAR race?

Let's drunkblog the swearing in of POTUS #44! (OK, let's not)

Beer! Beer! Beer! Beer!... and Bitters.

Speed Week! Superbowl! World Series! Poker! Hotrods! Boxing! Guns! (go out and buy ammo now, before the rules change with the above mentioned POTUS 44) Hunting and shooting small furry animals with big brown eyes that look like Bambi!

TESTOSTERONE!



Sheeesch! With all the Kate Bush posts (labeled under "obsessions") you'd think somebody would get a clue...


UPDATE: Heh! One post, and now "We guess http://jerub-baal-studio.blogspot.com/ is written by a man (54%)". I guess I just have to say "Beer" and "Testosterone" more often.

UPDATE 2: Yep, that's the ticket, that one update pushed it up another point to 55%

OK, it's been an extra slow week on the blog. I've been trying to get stuff done in the studio. More on that later... now here's Lily from the Red Shoes




And if you want more in the way of bloggy goodness, take a look at all the links in David Thompson's regular Friday Ephemera, including a link from The Thin Man for some Kraftwerk

Kate and David Gilmour, live, 18 January 2002, Royal Festival Hall, London -- Comfortably Numb. I didn't know she had ever done anything with Gilmour... quality isn't so hot, but... just wow, what a concept.

With extra bonus, "God Bless the Child" from Blood, Sweat & Tears.



Two great British artists, and a band named from a famous Churchill speech. (ok, that's a stretch to relate the two, ed.)

That Potter Kid and the Time Waster of Cosmic Hilarity





I've been meaning to post about Sluggy Freelance and the very funny series of lampoons upon the Harry Potter series that Pete Abrams has done. Well worth your time, if you have time to waste, or need a laugh. CLICK HERE and scroll to the bottom for links to the first three parodies (or check out any of the other plot threads on the page). If you wish to continue after that, the most recent parody begins here. You can also click on the Main Page and scroll down for a news blurb and explanation of the series (but as that is a dated news posting, without a direct link, it will eventually go away).

Go have fun!

King of the Mountain from her latest album Aerial

Aerial is a good album, not her top (which would be the Sensual World in my opinion) but well worth getting, if you like Kate.

The Big Sky

Looking back at all this, from the 80s, it's interesting to see how much video there is from Kate that has a "Steampunk" feel to it. Cloudbusting would be another obvious one.

For all those with a sense of entitlement....

"Some say that knowledge is something sat in your lap.
Some say that knowledge is ho-ho-ho-ho.

I want to be a lawyer.
I want to be a scholar.
But I really can't be bothered.
Ooh, just gimme it quick, gimme it, gimme gimme gimme gimme!

Some say that knowledge is ho ho ho.
Some say that knowledge is ho ho ho.
Some say that heaven is hell.
Some say that hell is heaven.

I must admit, just when I think I'm king,
(I just begin.)
Just when I think I'm king, I must admit,
(I just begin.)
Just when I think everything's going great,
(I just begin,)
Hey, I get the break,
Hey, I'm gonna take it all--
(I just begin.)
When I'm king--
(-- just begin.)

In my dome of ivory,
A home of activity,
I want the answers quickly,
But I don't have no energy. "

(UPDATE: original video was removed from the web, it's been replaced by one from YouTube.)

this is one of two videos for "Don't Give Up" by Peter Gabriel, with Kate. The other version shows just the two of them in an embrace, singing (although that version on the web comes with a larger viewer).


Hmmmm... it seems that Blogger hasn't adjusted to the change from Daylight Savings Time. It says I posted this at 11:00 PM, when I started the post at Midnight....
