I would just like to send my heartfelt congratulations to Ingrid Betancourt and her family - a courageous women who fought against the establishment, the mafia, the right wing paramilitary AND the guerilla for years, and was chained and humiliated in the jungle for 6 years for her pains. VIVA COLOMBIA!!!!!

Kate's most personal songs

feeds@yuku.com (katnic) — Fri, 04 Jul 2008 18:29:55 GMT

Do you sometimes think about's Kate's personality? Do you sometimes wonder what kind of person she is? I do. Although I realise Kate probably doesn't like this subject, I think there's nothing wrong with thinking and talking about this.
I know she has written very personal songs, like A Coral Room, Bertie, And So Is Love and You're the One. But that songs are not the ones that tell us most about her personality, I think.
In which songs you think she shows us...

What's Everyone Up To This Weekend ?

feeds@yuku.com (belladonna) — Fri, 04 Jul 2008 17:49:20 GMT

Weather is predicted to be on the naff side here in the south west - there's loads of fetes and summer fairs and stuff, so that's a shame. Tomorrow we're going swimming in the morning, Stevie's school has their Summer Fair in the afternoon and then we're off to a dog show. How I long to be getting slewed this evening and spending the next two days in bed with the papers and loads of junk food, but that's life with kids ! What's everyone else doing ? (keep it clean...

Happy Independence Day!

feeds@yuku.com (Stev042) — Fri, 04 Jul 2008 13:05:15 GMT

Yay! Go us! Good thing we won that war back in 1776, or else we'd all be drinking warm beer, wearing bowler hats and carrying umbrellas, constantly saying things like "jolly good!" and "top o' the mornin' to ya, guv'nah!" and worst of all, watching soccer instead of football.

Criminal Justice

feeds@yuku.com (mcspanky) — Fri, 04 Jul 2008 11:00:27 GMT

Anyone watching this? A full debate probably best saved for after tonight's closer, but it's fantastic stuff! Ben Whishaw is outstanding and should have awards thrown at him come the time. It's so full of twists and turns and sometimes veers towards melodrama, but saves itself. Last night's was a corker. Ben's mum's story about the kitten gave me chills....

It reminds me a little of Spiral, the French procedural drama that BBC4 showed a couple of years ago....

Mention in August's MOJO

feeds@yuku.com (kate) — Thu, 03 Jul 2008 12:42:00 GMT

There's an interview with Laura Marling in the "What Goes On" section and she is speaking against female solo artists being lumped together as a genre, and has refused to have her photo taken with Kate Nash & Duffy, as she believes all artists are individual.
MOJO then suggests "that older female artists like Kate Bush or Joni Mitchell don't get this treatment"

LM replies "Precisely. Everyone needs a reference, everyone needs to put you in...

WH on Dutch Radio 2 right now!

feeds@yuku.com (Magdeleen) — Thu, 03 Jul 2008 09:19:14 GMT

Always a surprise - just turned on the radio and the second song on Dutch Radio 2 I hear, is La Bush: "...too long I roam in the night..." Still, I wonder when will they ever play Aerial!?

The Prisoner

feeds@yuku.com (Gawayne7) — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 21:08:18 GMT

Just heard that the Prisoner is to being remade with James Caviezel as No 6 and Sir Ian McKellen as No 2! I wonder how they will present it for a modern audience! I liked the original series in the 60's with Patrick McGoohan.

tiny mention in THE COMPLETE KYLIE

feeds@yuku.com (binny binny) — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 17:08:56 GMT

(great book - not as intense as CATALOGUE by PET SHOP BOYS but still good )

Anyhow, mentions that CHOCOLATE single video was inspired by THE RED SHOES film and 1980S KATE BUSH VIDEOS of which our Kylie is a fan!

Nice One.

nion releases fifth single 'Losing Again'!

feeds@yuku.com (nion1967) — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 23:47:40 GMT

This fifth and last single from my album 'Lost In Love' contains two new tracks: an orchestral version of 'Losing Again', and the brand new track called 'Lord Of Darkness', which is musically losely based on the title track and on my classical piano version of Shakespeare's Sonnet 18.

The three songs can be heard and purchased from my page at Soundclick:

Hi everybody...

feeds@yuku.com (Thyranten) — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 19:45:06 GMT

Joined this forum ages and ages ago, and I thought it was about time to become active here... I'm an old KB fan, have listened to her ever since she first started. She sort of became the starting point for me, and from her I've had a strange musical ride, through almost every genre of music. But I always return to Kate at some point. Just wanted to say a first hi to you people, now I've got quite a few topics to browse through (gosh, whew)...

Old TV Shows

feeds@yuku.com (Gawayne7) — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 18:33:39 GMT

Just bought some old TV shows on DVD. The first series of "Follyfoot", which I liked-also the complete "Owl Service" which was shown first in 1969 in B/W but now its just been released in colour with a booklet explaining the making of the programme and several extras! Hope I can make sense of it this time! Also some episodes of "Catweazle"! Heaven!!! Is anyone else old enough to remember any of these? Come on- own up!This is when TV wasn't special effects...

I thought there was a topic

feeds@yuku.com (Spocibo is the King) — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 22:26:13 GMT
