'Get It Done'
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
From the Chuck Prophet piece:
all the while looking at his bass player and drummer (Rene Coman and Doug Garrison).
I saw Chilton on that '86 tour, and Rene MADE that band. What an amazing bass player! He had (has?) a swinging jazz style that brought Chilton's songs to life. A year or two later, I saw Chilton again, but with a different bassist, and the songs plodded. It's amazing what a difference a single player can make.
Now Playing: Kate Bush's The Kick Inside.
Have you listened to some Kate Bush today?
Maybe you should.

Funny, I was just earworming myself with some of her stuff in my head. Oh, and plate o' shrimp.
Damn. The last Kate Bush album I acquired was The Sensual World, which came out in '89. Then I just stopped paying attention. She's only had two studio albums since?
I have The Kick Inside and Lionheart on LP and cassette, which means I haven't listened to them in decades. OTOH, Hounds of Love and The Dreaming are two of my favorite albums, and I still listen to them regularly.
Maybe you should.
Maybe I will. Maybe I'll download The Kick Inside and Lionheart from iTunes or eMusic and listen to them next.
She's only had two studio albums since?
One of them was a disc set, but yeah. She's very slow (one of the many traits she shares with Peter Gabriel). Too slow, I think, although I think she was also raising a family during that period.
Yeah, she was raising her son.
Her two disc set was interesting. There was a song about Pi. In fact, the lyrics were just the number of Pi as I recall.

I've only given it a cursory spin or two, and I really need to get back to it, because I remember enjoying it quite a bit.

There were more lyrics than that, but she does sing Pi to the 100th decimal point.

It is quite good, and Rolf Harris of all people appears on it.
