Subject: Junk from new fanzine and lyrics to "Jig Of Life"

I just received issue two of "Under The Ivy", yet another Kate Bush
fanzine (British).  It says that "Hounds of Love" is being released as a
single in England on Feb 24th and the B-side is "Jig Of Life". (I guess
this means we don't get a new song from Kate.  Oh well!  Maybe on the
next single....)

It also contains some pieces of trivia:

	Did you know that Kate was invited to be a presenter at the
	recent Fashion Aid show at the Royal Albert Hall?

	Did you know that Paddy Bush writes music for "Take Hart" on
	T.V.?

Do any of our British correspondants know anything about this show?

	Did you know that in circulation there is a Dutch mispressing of
	"Running Up That Hill" with Baltimora's "Tarzan Boy" on the
	B-side?

	Did you know that when asked recently what was her favourite
	track, Kate replied "Infant Kiss"?

	Did you know that Kate backed No. 1 singer Whitney Houston on
	German Top Of The Pops last week?

Anyone know who Whitney Houston is?

	Did you know that Kate was a guest at the wedding of Kate St.
	John of Dream Acadamy fame?

	Did you know that Kate has donated the "Wedding List" to the new
	Prince's Trust L.P.?

	Did you know that Fish of Marrillion has said that the person he
	would most like to work with is Kate?

Oh, boy!

	Did you know that Kate was 10th in a poll of producers recently
	produced by Music Week?

Well, wasn't that stuff exciting?  In any case, the rag also printed
the words to John Carder Bush's narration in "Jig of Life".  I'm not
sure if they are official, but they sure seem like it to me.  If they
are not, whoever transcribed it sure has a much better ear than me:

	Can't you see where memories are kept bright
	Tripping on the water like a laughing girl
	Time in her eyes is spawning past light
	Run on the ocean and the woman unfurls
	Holding all the love that waits for you here
	Catch us now for I am your future
	A kiss on the wind and we'll make the land

	Come over here to where when lingers
	Waiting in this empty world
	Waiting for then when the life spray cools
	For now does ride in on the curl of a wave
	And you will dance with me in the sunlit pools

	We are of the going water and the gone
	We are of water and the holy land of water
	And all that's to come runs in
	With the thrust on the strand

-Doug

    10. Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers - Modern Lovers
        This one was recorded in 1977 when the Modern Lovers still had Dave
        Robinson.  Album contains 'New England' 'Here Come the Martian
        Martians' and 'Abomidable Snowman in the Market' among others.
        But what I would give for a version of 'Roadrunner'. 

I wanted one too, so I asked for it the last time I was in the Virgin
Megastore in London.  The result was a single with two versions of the
song -- called "Roadrunner Once" and "Roadrunner Twice".  One of these
is produced by John Cale, and I believe both were on the original album.

Subject:  Hofmann on a desert island?  Never!!!

First of all, I try to take all means available to
avoid being on a desert island ... I'd much prefer
a jungle island or a fantasy island ... you know
there is nothing but sand on a desert island????

Second of all, ahem, you people are ALL lame for 
taking records to a desert island!  You think they
have stuff like electrical power and shit on a
desert island???  Jeez, I guess it's just typical
of libruh, humanist type thinking that would come
out of a Kate Bush mailing list.. Oh you said re-
cordings, didn't you - Hsut? Furthermore, I we are 
talking about a desert island - post 1977 (right,
Shelli??? Jesus Christ Superstar, my foot (OUCH!)
thass hippy musak from the 60's or some other lame
decade) ... so I guess, hsut, you mean casettes
(the future saviour of music) on a desert island...
in which case from my very own casette collection
I pick (along with a crate of C-batteries):::

New York Thrash Comp (from ROIR) with Bad Brains,
AOD, Agnostic Front - and this is NOT TWO CHORD
TUNES!!!! DAMNIT THIS SHIT IS INTRICATE NOIZE!!
p.s.  in case you don't know, ROIR
has put out about 20-30 cassettes of music you won't
find anywheres else, including tracks of Suicide,
Television, New York Dolls, and (hsut, remember this
name) Bill Lazur (that might be the wrong spelling
though) who mentored Thurston Sonic Youth and variety
of other noisemakers ... ROIR has a copy of his symphony
with like 19 guitars - don't have it tho.

MEAT PUPPETS/BLACK FLAG favorites - all on one 90-minute
tape made by yers truly - includes early Flag favorites
not on any Flag record (when Morris was wailing with
them) and faves from Damaged, My War, Loose Nut and
In My Head ... Meat Puppets includes little early
stuff - mostly stuff from the last album, Up On The
Sun... this is for the mellow times when I'm smoking
coconut leaves ... bzzzzz

Kate Bush (Dreaming)/ Kate Bush (Hounds of Love) - well
what do you expect from someone on a K Bush mailing list?

Charles Bukowski (hostage)/Naked Raygun (Throb, Throb) -
Strangely these two recordings complement each other, tho
I'll be damned how I got them there ... what I should have
done was intersperse Raygun recordings with Bukowski rants -
can you imagine No Sex following Bukowski talking about college
girls (leer, leer) ... I also booted Potential Rapist
off the radio - probably my fave Raygun song now.

HUSKER DU (Metal Circus)/ Various Artists (Bad Brains, Lydia
Lunch, Volcano Suns) made for me by Tim - MC is running up that
hill as the Husker Du recording I've got the most interest
in (mainly in deciphering the words - which may take a 
lifetime itself on a desert island) ... the other stuff is
all post-77 (except for some of the Iggy Pop stuff I think -
so I'll like stop up my ears when it comes on)

Grateful Dead - Bootlet from Morgantown, WV, May, 1983 ... 
includes Terrapin Station Suite...yow!

King Crimson (3 of a perfect pair)with Apspic.../ REM (Murmur) - possibly
the best Crimson and REM music on one small cassette.  This
is music to sleep or ... y'know by.

Appropriate Soda (Jam in our basement)/ Livestock (intimately
dead) ... remaining tapes from my band(s)

Sex Pistols (Never Mind the Bollocks...)/Damned Damned Damned/ The
Replacements Stink  ....
lots of good stuff here folks...should be able to draw any airplane
within a 50 mile radius for rescue.

Derek Jacobi reading 1984 by George Orwell (books on tape) ...
well this way I can feel real smug knowing that all you other
toads are wanking away for the machine state ...

Subject: Fish 


	So Fish of Marillion wants to work with Kate? Too bad Marillion
has been kind of disappointing. I thought their first album Script For
A Jester's Tear was kind of an '80s streamlined version of the Gabriel/
Genesis sound, tho maybe a little too derivative and rigid. Fugazi
was AWFUL: turgid, pretentious and unimaginative. The few tracks I've
heard from the 3rd album sound rather "safe" and commercial, so I've
given them up for lost. Any Marillion fans out there?

Subject:  maniacal

I will not flame back about the virtues of 10,000 Maniacs.  I'm sure that
hof and I could argue for days about the merits or lack thereof of various
bands.

"Creem" magazine gave a thumbs-up to HOL...I guess KB really knows how to
"kick ass."  No, really, they even featured an interview with Morrissey in
the same issue! Maybe they're going for the old "Trouser Press" crowd.

Subject: Talk, Talk about Pretty in Pink

	Two items to bring up. One is a new movie soundtrack that should
be released real soon if the dj's on the radio station get accurate
information. It's the soundtrack to "Pretty in Pink" a new movie starring
Molly Ringwald (of "The Breakfast Club" and "Sixteen Candles" fame). The
music is exceptional - cuts by Suzanne Vega (Joe Jackson on the piano, I
believe), OMD, Echo and the Bunnymen, and some others. I've heard the
Suzzane Vega cut, and I really like it. It kind of grows on you. It's called
"Left of Center", I think. I can't remember the names of any of the other
cuts. I think it's something that love-hounds readers would be interested
in picking up.
	Second, anyone out there follow the band Talk,Talk? They have a
new single out (off an album, I imagine) called, damn, I can't remember
the title! (Doug, you know the title?) [No, sorry...  The last one I
heard was "Talk, Talk" -- Doug] But it's great! The last single that
they released which is called "Talk,talk" is also excellent. Anyone know
any history about this band?
