I frickin LOVE Fiona and have every intention of seeing her this go-round, God willing that she tours!
As for Bush, I am really Hot/cold with her. Either Adore the stuffin' out of some of her works or abhore it. Real weird. Don't know much about her, but the Hounds of Love is a must have cd!
Depeche Mode. Being a fan of the 80's, and the alternative wave of that era, they are essential, but since then? I mean are they worth the weight of a CD since say late 80's to early 90's? I'm not "dissin" here, just legit asking. I kinda thought they had fallen off the planet creatively since Violater. Tell me, am I missing out on something great since then?
Otherwise, hell yea. Great taste in music!

You're definitely missing out!

Do you have any of the post-Violator albums? Songs Of Faith And Devotion (1993) and Ultra (1997) are two of their best, imho. Exciter (2001) was hit or miss, but still worth owning.

i never bother listening to the pre-violator albums.

It's still untitled, but the release date is a lock for November 8th. It's a double CD. I did cartwheels when I found out both of those pieces of information.

You know, I've never been a big fan of any of them, but I'm glad that you are excited about their shows. that's what's important.

My friend opened for her once in Toronto. She was playing some sort of benefit show. He said she smelled fantastic. I kinda wanna pull his balls off for meeting her!

I heard she doesn't tour because of her insane fear of flying. I would love to see her live some day...

I think the reason she won't tour anymore is because during her one and only tour in the late 70's there was a hideous accident and one of her crew/roadies was killed. Kate Bush is brilliant, everything she does is fantastic and unashamedly bonkers.

I'm sure that that happened and has something to do with it and I think it has something to do with a nasty fall as well.

There is a video (possibly dvd) you can get of a massively edited show from her tour called live at the hammersmith apollo.

She wrote one of her best songs after that incident: "Blow Away"

If anyone wants the chords to "Blow Away" or any other Kate Bush song, just holler.

She's planning a smallish tour. It looks like they're going to put her into large-ish theatres. 2,000 seaters on average? I'm excited about it, I've never seen her live.
