Wasn't she completely full of sh1te?

she still works in the music business. Heard her being interviewed by Danny Baker on radio London a year or so ago, came across pretty well.

Even so my assessment was very shallow indeed - shame on me

Watched Couldbusting by Kate Bush on youtube this morning. With Donald Sutherland (in the video, not watching with me, you understand).

That girl was madder than a box of frogs. That had been shaken vigorously.

Give the Woody Guthrie version a whirl. Outstanding.

I will. I'm ODed on skiffle and need a new groove scored into my brain

Anyone else think this song (not the vid) is absolutely ace?

Catchy, but 'absolutely ace' might be going a bit far for me... says the man listening to the O Brother Where Art Thou soundtrack earlier.

A Man of Constant Sorrow indeed.

As the saying goes: one in Kate Bush is worth two in the hand....

All 80s rock power ballads :oops:

Show me a cyclist who doesn't think power ballads make you go any faster and i'll show you a liar

I've repressed all memory of the 80s bloody awful decade.

Anything by Rammstein, flew up the Port de Pailheres listening to Mutter last month, can't understand a word of it mind you. (well not entirely true, I think Mutter = Mother)

Survived an unbelievably zero sleep / high stress four days of meetings in Frankfurt last week.

On the plane back on Friday was playing Beachboys through the iPhone (haven't listened to them for YEARS) and grinning like a loon.

Heroes And Villains and Let's Do It Again at full whack several times - my god they were good - oh, and the guilty bit - Blondie too

If you fly even at all regularly get a pair of Sennheiser noise cancelling headphones, they are the thin line between sanity and suicide.

Five Guys Named Moe - original London cast recording. I love it.

in 1983 when commuting from Guildford to Norwich (every week, not every day) I found that Kate Bush in the cassette player was the only thing that I could listen to without tiring. I know it's not a long journey compared with truck drivers' distances but I found it hard. But anyway, it's all subjective but (for me) she is a genius (musically).

It is. Translated lyrics available here and elsewhere.

Nothing to be guilty about, IMHO.

Apart from...Echo and the Bunnymen, best years of The Cure, The Smiths, The Chameleons, The Stone Roses first album ('89 I think)...need I go on

(Spot the (grown up) indiekid)

PS: was listening to Metallica at the train station this morning, what an adult (41)

I'm a fresh faced 37 year old, and Metallica is never too far away from my playlist. Only the first 4 albums though. Their modern stuff is dreadful.

this morning's commute was supplied by various joy division classics after watching control last night but the guilty pleasures tracks that pop up when i have spotify on random that seem perfect for cycling are:

The Clapping Song - Shirley Ellis
Fat Bottomed Girls - Queen
The Bike Song - Mark Ronson
Move Your Body - Xpansions
Owner Of A Lonely Heart - Yes
International Bright Young Thing - Jesus Jones
Stranglehold - Ted Nugent
The Touch - Stan Bush
Psychosocial - Slipknot
More than A Feeling - Boston
Love Spreads - Stone Roses (only because it's from the 'wrong album')

The ones I'm less embarassed about are:
The Wiggle - Dave Clarke
Uberkev - Kobi
The Sport Of Kings - Cursor Miner
Tour De France - Kraftwerk
Love Will Tear Us Apart - Joy Division
Chime - Orbital
Sabotage - Beastie Boys
Lander - Posthuman
Impact - Orbital
Gunman - Them Crooked Vultures
Breed - Nirvana
Banquet - Bloc Party
Activ-8 - Altern8
3s and 7s - Queens Of The Stone Age
Millionaire - Queens Of The Stone Age

It rocks.

CJ, I heard that tune of yours on Radio 1 over the weekend (R1 is strictly limited to alarm clock duties I hasten to add). Blimey, you've got your finger on the pulse.

Would "Thats not dubstep" be too revealing a comment to make? At least I don't ride a fixie though :P
