Kate Bush Videos

With the next Living To Music selection being ‘Hounds Of Love’ by Kate Bush, thought it might be timely to link to a few of her videos. It’s a shame, and somewhat surprising, that there’s never been a DVD compilation of her promo videos made available (apart from bootlegs) to update ‘The Whole Story’ compilation issued on VHS back in 1986. But never fear, thankfully they’re instantly accessible via the wonderful resource that is YouTube – here are four singles from her four 1980’s albums.

A Knife, A Fork, A Bottle And A Cork

My remix of ‘Cocaine Blues’ by Brooklyn’s Escort has been causing a bit of a stir since I started playing it out during the summer, and the buzz has intensified in the last few weeks, having been uploaded onto SoundCloud. For all those who’ve been asking, I’m pleased to inform you that the 12” is now available, with digital download due in November. Very much a band in the traditional sense; the Brooklyn based collective have utilised drums, bass, guitar, keyboards (including Rhodes electric piano), percussion, trumpet, saxophones, trombone, french horn, flute, violin, viola and vocals on their recordings to date.

I’m a DJ from Merseyside. I started out in 1975, but stopped for almost 20 years, between 1984 and the end of 2003, at which point I started again.

One night during the period I wasn’t deejaying, turning off my mind, relaxing, and floating downstream I had what might be termed a moment of clarity. Paradoxically, although I was no longer a DJ in the literal sense I suddenly became aware that I’d never actually stopped being a DJ, for even if I was in a room with just one person I couldn’t help but ask them ‘have you heard this?’, and not only ‘heard’, but ‘have you seen this / read this?’, for it goes beyond music. Already taken somewhat aback by this nugget of self-discovery, I realised, in true eureka style, that this all pre-dates my being a DJ and goes back as far as I can remember – I’ve always had an inherent need to share, it’s absolutely central to my nature. This was quite a revelation.

So it’s no wonder that I became a Disc Jockey, for once I fell in love with those circular pieces of magical plastic during my formative years, it wasn’t a matter of choosing this as a path, the path pretty much chose me.

I don’t intend this to be a DJ blog as such, but more a blog by someone who happens to be a DJ – a place where personal emphasis takes precedence over professional, although, as I’ve already explained, the two aspects are, of course, inescapably entwined.
