Oh, and I love Kate Bush (and Tori Amos and Bjork as well), and I own both The Dreaming and Hounds of Love. But I actually find that I listen to The Sensual World most often, probably because she uses the women of Le Mystere des Voix Bulgares as her backup singers, to really beautiful and haunting effect.
Do I wish I was somebody else right now. Somebody not... married, not madly in love with a beautiful woman who can kill me with her pinkie!

Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan
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.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Makes note to look for Kate Bush boxed set since just about everything I have is still vinyl.

Does that mean I have to throw out my Justin Timberlake and Robbie Williams CDs?

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Doesn't everyone own The Dreaming and Hounds of Love?
And these are by whom?

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.
And these are by whom?
Kate Bush.
I know, I know. I shouldn't blindly make those assumptions. But it's like me trying to wrap my brain around the idea that not everyone owns Disintigration by The Cure.

The Decemberists did a song about Myla Goldberg? Cool. Is it good?
Catchy. Also featuring the refrain "funiculi funicula," which is a reference to an old song about trains, I think.

Joe, thanks for your response. I think my idea was something that, while more or less true for me, falls apart if I try to turn it into any sort of Grand Statement, as many such things do.
Kate, I'm embarrassed to admit I did not even know Myla Goldberg was a real person. Now I'm going to find out Leslie Anne Levine was one, too. And I don't know if "The Tain:" is actually related to Irish Mythology,sorry. I do know it's twenty. freaking. minutes. long.
I think the only Kate Bush song I know is "Running Up That Hill."
I'm just full of Lack of Knowledge today.
