Now in love with Kate Bush. She’s so cool and lovely and amazing and i love and wonderful and wah qpoeihobfjknvoesubjt4ew

I recently went to visit my parents down in Devon, and while there my mother introduced me to Kate Bush, through conveniently placed documentaries then available on BBC iPlayer examining her career.
The first I heard of Kate Bush was the film The Golden Compass, which was an incredible film. Specifically what I mean by incredible is how it managed to be so dreary despite the astounding talent behind it. “Argle bargle wargle we’ve got Kristin Scott Thomas and we’re going to make her voice over a CGI animal and she’s only going to have about two lines! That’s good utilisation of Kristin Scott Thomas! Hand me more cake!” Having watched incredible actors navigate their way through a sea of terrible CGI animals and a plot very much the toothless version of the book’s, then a lady with a most singular voice appeared and reiterated the plot of the His Dark Materials trilogy in song, a song like nothing I had ever heard before.
Perhaps should not have been altogether surprised that her first hit was reiterating the plot of a book in song, a song like nothing anyone had ever head before.
I am very much in love with Kate Bush. She is so wonderful and cool and awesome that she can just saunter up to the music scene and do her own thing and it’s as wonderful and cool and awesome and richly detailed as she is.
One of the clips in the documentary was from Newsnight Review, and, like virtually every clip I see of Newsnight Review, featured some Newsnight Review twat, who reminded me very much why I don’t watch Newsnight Review ever and swiftly quashed any misguided notion of me seeking personal enrichment by doing so, saying of Kate Bush’s latest album (at that time) that “there [was] still a touch of the ‘we are not worthy'”, or something along those lines. I think if you look at Kate Bush and see someone trying to intimidate or laud over or alienate people, I’m not sure what can be done with you. I think it is a fair criticism of self-described ‘high art’ that it seeks to be difficult to access, perhaps even to alienate and intimidate; fair enough for those who create art to be exclusive, to intentionally exclude — I wouldn’t dream of telling them what to do but for my part I do not like to be alienated, nor do I like alienating people, so it is not something in which I can comfortably partake. This is not what I see when I look at Kate Bush. I see someone who loves a great many things and is inspired by them, and has the talent to create wonderful music that absolutely reflects that. In fact Wuthering Heights is pretty much “Hey guys, I saw Wuthering Heights on the telly and then I read the book and I saw a load of other adaptations of Wuthering Heights and it’s just so wonderful and there’s these beautiful moments and I love it so much and I snuggle the book every night and oh hey look! I wrote a song about it too! 😀 Heeeathcli-iff!”
I think my favourite song is Experiment IV. It is so, so cool, and I think it’s very deep, without ramming it down your throat. You don’t have to think about the implications of the power of music or of any other deeper aesthetic meaning… but I did anyway. Because it’s still a cool song. And below, the video banned from broadcast by the BBC for being too violent. It’s true there’s nothing really explicit but if I had seen it as a small child I would definitely not have slept for a few nights at least. So be warned. It is brilliant, for I have a little soft spot for B-horror, and so, clearly, does Kate Bush.
