  1. OMG Burning Desire video anyone?!
  2. Blue jeans, white shirt~~ I love how she never leaves the house without her false eyelashes on. Also loving her cap.
  3. ~~Summer. And yeah, me too. I only go there for the occasional sharethread.
  4. I don't see anything wrong with it either, tbh. Sure, it's not the prettiest dick I've ever seen, but I don't see what all the fuss is about either. Okay so this is really random BUUUT
  5. Sorry about that, I just wanted an excuse to post one of my fave gifs of all time & this thread was it. The Smiths aren't one of my favourite bands or anything (I don't know all that much about them since I've only listened to 2 albums) but I do love 'The Queen Is Dead'. Really need to listen to the rest of their discography.
  6. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6366dxFf-Os lmao @ this video & 'Alex band guy'
  7. Only version I could find is a 192kpbs one. Do you want it?
  8. 'Implied gore' kinda defeats the whole definition of gore though... While it was disturbing I didn't think it was that gory either, tbh (I never watched the 2nd).

    I like it, but I was a bit disappointed at first, when I found out it was only a re-recording and restructuring of old songs... I was a bit like, 'what's the point?'. I absolutely love the collab with Stephen Fry in '50 Words for Snow' (song)... And I mostly like them, tbh. And yeah, it's unbelievable... And she's such a genuinely strange person, so reserved and eccentric. I love that aspect of hers.

    I don't know how she manages it, but she's the epitome of both class and sensuality! And those are great!
  11. I think I read somewhere that he'd used a live performance because it was the closest he could get to an a capella version (and you definitely shouldn't ).

    Kate Bush

    So would I! Btw, here is one of my favourite live performances: The Man With the Child in his Eyes -- Live at SNL, December 9 1978 (don't know how to embed this, or if it's even possible here)
  13. Wtf, we can't drive in the US with an European drivers licence?! Is a tourist not allowed to rent a car there or something?
  14. Why can't we see his soundcloud in the wayback machine? That would interest me for more than one reason...

    Kate Bush

    Me too, sometimes! I think my favourite one from The Dreaming is 'Sat in your lap'... But those 2 are definitely close favourites along with 'All The Love'!

    Man, I can't tell you how happy I am to know that I'm not the only one who keeps interviews of some of my fave artists on my iPod!

    Kate Bush

    Ahhhh I just found this thread!!! ONE TRUE QUEEN. Gosh, when did I first notice her? Well, I remember hearing Wuthering Heights when I was a child and being fascinated by those incredible high notes! Of course at the time I had no idea who she was... Much later, already in my late teens, I 'rediscovered' her via Pink Floyd. I'm a *HUGE* PF fan, and some of you may know that David Gilmour was basically the one who kickstarted her career when she was still 16 - he helped her record & paid for a 3-track demo, and Kate was eventually signed by EMI (which was also PF's label) soon after that. As soon as I listened to the first album, I was sold! My favourites are The Kick Inside, Lionheart and Hounds of Love. But her whole discography is flawless tbh, and I adored 50 Words for Snow! @@deeth Really jealous of your tote bag!
  18. More than a year later and it's still one of my top albums. SO GOOD! I want/need a new one.
  19. Sure she is, I think I didn't explain myself very well when I said that. What I mean is: while she's a huge artist that will sell out concerts pretty much anywhere (like any of the other 4 mentioned here), I get the impression that her status in the US is ridiculously untouchable: she's the perfect *everything* - the perfect star, the perfect performer, the perfect mother, the perfect wife, the perfect feminist; no one dares criticize her (not without receiving a lot of backlash anyway); and she & Jay Z are pretty much music's royal couple (a title that would imo belong to Kim & Kanye if she weren't utterly useless and so very unlikeable) and only second to the Obamas as far as powerful couples go. To me, that is absolutely crazy! Here she's a *huge* pop artist, but that's pretty much it. About what I said re: lack of memorable songs -- I'm not a fan of either 5 & have never listened to a full album, so my knowledge of all of them is pretty much the same (= very limited). Yet off the top of my head I can easily think of 5 or 6 (if not more) Katy, Gaga, Rihanna and Britney songs respectively, and only 2 of Beyoncé's (Crazy In Love - and Single Ladies, which I'd forgotten about in the previous post).
  20. SPOT. ON. These are my exact thoughts on her. I've always put emotion and creativity way above technical proficiency - none of my favourite artists are perfect vocalists, virtuoso guitar players, and so on. It's simply not something I value all that much in music, so understandably Beyoncé doesn't do a whole lot for me - I don't see any emotion or artistic creativity there & she's such a control freak she almost seems robotic (yet people give Lana a hard time for not being 'authentic'? lmao, okay). I don't care for her as an 'artist' nor as a person. Add to that her 'iconic' status, and you'll get why she annoys me. And YES, I completely agree that her 'legendary' status was manufactured. A classic case of 'if you repeat a lie often enough, it becomes the truth'. Really curious about that article, off to read it.
