My Music Monday


Ok, I'm back to the '80s. It's my go-to safe zone.

A song from one of the first two CDs I bought when I got my first player.

Kate Bush's Hounds of Love is a great album. And for U. S. audiences it yielded what was probably her only true "hit": "Running Up That Hill".

It is a great song. It's an ok video. The male dancer kind of creeps me out.

But at least, for 1985 it wasn't a big-haired, concert-type, or horribly contrived story-line video. It's Kate dancing the dance - and it's her, not the Pat Benatar-like video of standing shaking her pine cones while others dance around her.

Still.....the male dancer kind of creeps me out. But you know, I really post it for the music, but you have to listen to it in form of video.

Normal disclaimer anymore: Sorry if you have to sit through a small advertisement before the video starts.

I listened to that album yesterday. It has aged well. I can't believe it was 85!

Reminds me of a creepy Patrick Swayze

This is about the only Kate Bush song I ever hear on XM Radio's "First Wave". And it's always early in my day. When I'm not quite ready for the "meatiness" of her voice.

It's his 80's "dancer/porn" mullet.
But man, what a great song and album. Her peak.

Hounds of Love is my favorite of her albums. It always confounds me that she's never been popular here in the States; she writes incredible music.

One of the reasons I enjoy you so is our agreement on Kate Bush !
