If you mean the original release video, yes. I bought it at the time on video, Kate Bush Greatest Hits. Still have it!

Never mind Silver Eye. I took a long drive to and back from Birmingham today in the pouring rain all the way ( Design in Mental Health exhibition). Had the IPod on and started with Babe Ruth by Babe Ruth with the athletic and powerful Jenny Haan on …

Potholes in the road. Our infrastructure is falling apart and it needs massive investment and the Tories just ain't gonna do it kids! I will say again, let the 8th June be the end of May!

The youth and the undecided voters hold the power, if only they knew it and had the inclination to get off their lazy arses and get out there and vote. The numbers that cast no vote in the last general election outnumbered any other parties vote, so…

Couldn't is a bit of a presumption. The end section contains notes as high as the opening, so I doubt it is a nailed on can't. I would suggest it is more chooses not to as it is commonly a set opener, or very early, and it may just be prot…

I first saw her do it in 2004, first supporting Duran Duran at the NEC then much closer up at Sala Razamattaz in Barcelona. Then, she would sing the operatic part at the start, then the spoken part next ( It's a strange day, no colours or shape…

the homage thread? i can't find one.....
I've got pictures of Led Zepplin on my wall, signed by John Bonham. I've also got some of Toyah's clothes framed in the studio. A black leather mini skirt and a black overcoat from 1979 from around the time she signed for Safari Recor…

What I can't understand is how a large section of the British public are sitting back and allowing the NHS; the jewel in the crown of the British way of life, to be chronically underfunded and dismantled in the way it has been since 2012. The f…

Anyone else remember when Alison sung all of Utopia, including the intro? From 2001. Enjoy!

Silver Eye (main album thread)
But, you know what, I can't name one where every album, every song, hits those heights. That would be impossible. All bands have albums that are a bit, well Meh, and most albums have tracks that are not as strong as others. That's ALL band…

You know, I've followed a lot of bands during my time. I only continue to follow the ones that make an impression, (duh, obviously) and those bands, when on form are fantastic, sublime, insightful etc. But, you know what, I can't name one …

A comparison with the BG's I can see but the Bay City Rollers? WTF? Anyone who seriously thinks that have you listened to the Shang a Lang tartan wearing toss pots? I was there first time round and they were talentless muppets who could not pl…

From Wiki The song was written by Rose Bonne (lyrics) and Canadian folk artist Alan Mills and copyrighted in 1952. At that time it was entitled simply "I Know an Old Lady.

Erasure
I'm getting rather fed up of agreeing with you UT.... Best just go with the flow Kat, it will be easier in the end. I'm not a 'blonde's' type of guy. Brunettes and Redheads are my favourite but Agnetha was one of the few tha…

All this talk on here of Blue Oyster Cult, Pink Floyd, Erasure, what I want to know is, how many ABBA fans are there on here? I suspect quite a few... Like John Lennon and Pete Townsend, I think SOS is possibly the greatest 4 minute pop song ever wr…

Back in the late thirties, the band leader Glenn Miller came up with a new sound that was the mix of wood winds and horns, particularly a lead clarinet back by multiple saxophones playing in harmony. Add trombone ( Miller's instrument) and trum…

It is a tribute to Syd. There is a well known Floyd legend that when the band were in the studio recording this track , no-one had seen Syd for several years. Then, through the window of the recording studio they saw a strange, hollow hulk of a man …

I am very fond of the middle actually. My entry album was Wish You Were Here, and I then went back to Dark Side of the Moon. I seemed to skip Animals then got The Wall. I found that interesting, but a bit of a Roger Waters love in. Since going to se…

Blue Öyster Cult
I only have one album of theirs, Tyranny and Mutation but Don't Fear the Reaper is a colossal track that I have loved since it was released. Great lyrical content and themes, great music and a killer middle 8. Energy, subtlety, just brilliant.

Their Mortal Remains. I am going in June and booked tickets for it last September. I love some Floyd. Was only tinkering last night with Shine On on the keyboard. Gm, Dm, Cm.

P>Anyone wants to send me a chocolate llama, feel free. It was my humble birthday a fortnight ago ( and I've no choc left). How about a chocolate trilobite? A friend brought me this from France in March.

Just what is she going to do with a 12 foot high chocolate Giraffe? Can she even get it in the house?
