Theres also this vinnyl shop (well theres two really good ones) and they have brilliant amounts of Fleetwood Mac most of the time. I'm vinyl obsessed aswell so it made me incredibly happy being able to get the wild heart album for £6. Ahh i am glad i live in B'ham aha. (:

You have no idea how jealous I am right now ! My dad travels a lot for work so next time he goes up that way I'm getting in the boot of his car and going along with him ! Mark my words
A piece of advice, never move to Essex then, it is crap for vinyl shops and the like ! On Thursday I'm heading over to my ONLY local vinyl shop to hunt out some of the good stuff, wish me luck !

I think you actually need to climb into your dads car and come here because it's pretty cool!!!!!!! The one vinyl shop is two floors and the bottom one is loads of random music related stuff thats really really cheap, like books and old magazines and random records from Paula Abdul to some people i've never heard of :L. I've found some proper amazing stuff down there. GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!! I still think going in a shop and buying vinyls is way more exciting than getting them offline.

Oh Jesus ! That sounds like heaven ! I'm gonna hit up google maps right now and plan my route ! LOL
I was also thinking of going to London to see what they've got there.
Yesss ! Even buying a CD is way better in person, there's nothing quite like flipping through the booklet, which you can't do on iTunes. 'Real Life' for the win !

I love me some Kate Bush! I have her first record The Kick Inside and a greatest hits collection. She's a wonderful artist with a superb vision. I need to expand my Kate Bush collection and delve into her work. She probably wasn't very successful in the US because radio didn't consider her music commercial enough for airplay.

Yes you absolutely MUST!!!

"The Dreaming", "Hounds of Love", and "Aerial" (A Sky of Honey aka disc 2) are all masterpieces in their own way. You can't go wrong with la Bush!

NPR is currently running the full stream of Kate Bush's "50 Words For Snow."

I warn you, it is a beautiful but very challenging album...seven songs that range up to 13 minutes long and are steeped in space and concept and more than a few influences from Joni Mitchell's later jazz work. The song structures are not even remotely pop.

My favorite so far is "Lake Tahoe" (where a ghost rises from the depths of the lake in order to find a long-lost friend). The one I have the most trouble with is actually the duet with Elton John (where they play star-crossed lovers who've circled one another for centuries). Oh, and the first voice you hear (on "Snowflake") is not Kate, but her 12-year-old son, Bertie.

IMHO, these songs take several listens to reveal themselves, but the best stuff always does.

I hate to say this, but it seems to me that this album lacks energy. I've had just one listen, and all I can say is it has some good, and some bad moments, but not one GREAT moment. I'm sure I'll grow to love it though. It will make a great soundtrack for the long walks in the snow this winter.

I must admit that I am struggling a little bit with this album so far. It's not just that it seems decidedly, um... somnombulant to me. But there is an "uneasy ease" about the proceedings- after a career full of concise, perfectly/meticulously crafted albums, this one seems unedited and seemingly improvised in places, which I find a little bit disturbing. Well... I suppose that is to be expected when almost every song is over ten minutes in length. In any case, I really, really want to like this album, so I hope it starts to leave tenderhooks in my ears upon repeated listenings.

Kate Bush. What a woman! I love her music and attitude. She's otherwordly talented in so many ways. Her voice, just like Stevie's is very off-beat, idiosyncratic instrument and she uses it to perfection. I remember, that one time I got a chance to listen to Pat Benatar's version of "Wuthering Heights" and I was like: "this is not good Pat". No matter how many notes Benatar could belt in her heyday she was not able to make that song hers. There are certain songs that shouldn't be redone aby anyone else except for the artists that originally made them memorable. As for "Running Up That Hill", it's strange but I do imagine Stevie singing this gem of a song on her "Rock a Little" or "The Other Side of The Mirror" albums. For me there are two essential albums from Bush's discography: "Never For Ever" (with my all time favourites: "Blow Away" and "Delius (Song of Summer)") and of course "Hounds of Love" (which will always be special for "Under The Ice" nightmare of a song).

How are you doing with it now, days later? I have to admit I was shocked at how slow the first three songs unfolded. It was sort of like watching a theatre curtain go up...part way...then stop...and then rise some more.

But I love it. Most of it (still not crazy about the Elton John Duet).
