Really-From: More Blank Than Frank <buckaroo@apple.com> I noted with interest that Ed (hi, Ed!) brought "GLC" to Chris'n'Vickie's (hi, CHris'n'Vickie!); Does this mean that there actually is a finished product (video)? Or are we just talking about the song _Ken_ here? Inquiring minds want to know. Ed, when you get back 'round here, lemme know about this, OK? (408) 255-3238... Thanks! Also, Vickie--please add me to the at-the-door list; not sure how I'm gonna afford it, but what the hey...

On my CD copy of _Aspects Of The Sensual World_, it lists "Ken" as
being from the ".....comic strip film G.L.C....." I have never heard of
this! Is this a forthcoming movie that I haven't seen promos for; strictly
a British release; or what? I'm very curious (as I assume most love-hounds
tend to be about KaTe-related facts they don't know), and would appreciate
any info anyone else out there could give me.
Thanks in advance,

Judi asks about the reference on "Aspects..." to "the Comic Strip film
G.L.C."
There is a BBC series, whose title I don't quite recall, but is something
like "The Comic Strip Presents." It features a number of well-known,
young British comedians in episode-length films/sketches. Way-back-when,
when MTV was semi-cool, they had a bunch o' British comedy on Sunday
nights--they would show one Monty Python episode, one "Young Ones" and one
Comic Strip. Many of the comedians from "The Young Ones" were also in
the Comic Strip.
Well, the Comic Strip is still in production. Back in _real_ early '90,
there were two Comic Strips that featured KaTe in some way. The first was
"G.L.C." (greater london council), which was a spoof of London politics
done in the manner of a spaghetti western. There was a real Ken who was
a leader of the real-life GLC (can't remember his last name). For this
film, KaTe did the soundtrack. I'm not sure how much music she did, but
there were at least two "songs" ("Ken" and "The Confrontation" (the latter
of which is available on the British "Love and Anger" single)), and I
think I remember hearing that "Cloudbusting" or maybe it was some other
HoL song was played in the background at one point.
In an episode a few weeks later, KaTe actually had an acting role.
Unfortunately, to my knowledge these have only been broadcast in the UK
(not that my knowledge is far-reaching; I have no clue... ;-), and therefore
in PAL format.
So...*has* anybody converted either of these to NTSC? Are there copies
floating around? Will someone make me a copy of either?? :-)/2

>Just a comment, is "One more look around the house before we go" in the >boxed set? It's absolutely beautiful, and I love playing it over and >over..... Yow! Me too! I left the song on repeat for a whole night on that song. Also, is there a track list for the B-sides discs in the Box(ed) Set? If they're in the gaffa archives (hayes.fai.alaska.edu?) just kick me in the right direction. I've still managed (much to Love-Hounds' dismay, I'm sure ;-) not to buy the Set. 200 clams is a bit much, and I have a lot of stuff on tape from a friend (who should be thanked again!) Poor student and all that... I might as well throw in a few things about the GOoMH discussion. I tend to agree with the _The Shining_ reference. The song always hit me as a conflict on a relationship level, not exactly a sexual level. I always thought that "This house is as old as I am/This house knows all I have done" refers to a home. As old as I am probably doesn't mean exactly as old, just in reference to it's age. Most houses tend to be around 15-20 years old, in general. While I can't say from experience, I would say that describing rape in a song would be much more shocking and raw than GOoMH. The man is begging to get back in, not in already and gloating, or whatever. I never got the idea of rape, but it does at a new level to the song. To each his or her own, but I doubt that's what it was written around. I'm sure Kate could make it quite clear if she wanted. Ah, to have a loud stereo... >| Gerald E.

Yup, it's on there--track 3 of TWW II. And as long as I'm speaking in a little-boy-voice I s'pose it's alright, nay, expected that I be pedantic...it's "One Last Look Around the House Before We Go..." It *is* beautiful, and I often think that it's far too short, but I s'pose that's the point--it's that last, bittersweet look before leaving. Sigh. Jeff -- |Jeffrey C.

Kate did ALL of the music for this half-hour episode! All the B-sides for Love and Anger": "Ken", "The Confrontation", and "One Last Look Around the House Before We Go" are from this film. In addition, there are a couple of other short instrumental pieces that are unmistakably Kate, but which have never been recorded. In particular a lovely choral piece near the end. Also, it's "Running Up That Hill" that is played in the background of a bar scene. >In an episode a few weeks later, KaTe actually had an acting role. This was called "Les Dogs", and featured Kate as a bride in a truly weird, but funny, surrealistic tale. Kate doesn't actually appear until about ten minutes go by, and she doesn't say anything for another ten minutes. Actually, she doesn't have many lines at all. But she looks more stunningly beautiful than I've ever seen her! >Unfortunately, to my knowledge these have only been broadcast in the UK >(not that my knowledge is far-reaching; I have no clue... ;-), and therefore >in PAL format. >So...*has* anybody converted either of these to NTSC?

How else could I have obtained copies? :-) As for copies -- well, I'm sure this will start a deluge of requests, so I'll tell you what: If you send me a blank videotape along with self-addressed packaging capable of carrying it, with appropriate postage affixed to it, I'll make you copies. Naturally, I want to make this as easy for myself as possible! As a bonus, you'll get the Rapido interview from the fall of 1989 on BBC.

Actually, GLC stands for the "Greater London Council" (a real-life entity) and "Ken <i-forget-the-last-name>" is about the chairman of that council. Apparently, the song is a real-life parody of this guy.. who was also made into a comic strip character. Perhaps some of the Brits could shed a little more light on this, as I believe the story was "big news" or somesuch over there. Lee Hounshell
