Just a note to any who might not know, Kate does backup singing on the track 'Sisters and Brothers' on Midge Ure's _Answers to Nothing_ album. IMHO, it's a great song (although we don't get enough of her in it!) Br!an Bloom brianb@natinst.com (okay, okay... I'll make a .sig file!!!)

IMHO, it's a great song (although we don't get enough of her in it!) I'm sure your mention of this has _nothing_ to do with the fact that WHFS played it Monday morning. :-) I knew it was Kate, and I was pretty sure it was the Midge Ure track, but I was in a hurry and had to leave the house before it was announced. I generally don't like Midge Ure (or Ultravox or Visage, etc.) but this sounded O.K. Or perhaps that should read O.K.T. :-) #dan Clever: dbk@cs.umd.edu | "Softly her tower crumbled in the Not-so-clever: uunet!mimsy!dbk | sweet silent sun." - Nabokov

HEY! No fair! Now that I'm trapped back in Indiana where the radio stations have never heard of KaTe, and y'all have to start discussing HFS! What's that station ID they have? Something like, "This is Kate Bush and you're listening to the sensual world on WHFS." Y'know, that's probably not even close. But the idea is there. Sigh.

The same goes for the station ID I've been told KROQ Los Angeles has. KITS San Francisco plays Kate quite a bit, but they've never managed to get one of those IDs! Ed ed@das.llnl.gov

They have another, older one too. Something like, "Hi, this is Kate Bush and whenever I fly across the Atlantic I listen to WHFS." I remember the first time I actually heard this one (I'd heard about it) it started just as my car went into a tunnel and I lost radio reception. I set a land speed record getting thru that tunnel, but missed the end anyway. :-) >Geez, if anybody has this station ID on tape I'd LOVE to get a copy. I'd >pay all expenses, of course.

It's real hard to predict when they're going to air these things, your best bet is that someone might have gotten it on tape accidently when they were taping something else. I don't even have a receiver in the house, so I don't tape off the radio. #dan Clever: dbk@cs.umd.edu | "Softly her tower crumbled in the Not-so-clever: uunet!mimsy!dbk | sweet silent sun." - Nabokov

I wrote the above just a couple of hours ago, and KITS just played "The Sensual World." I should try this more often! Ed ed@das.llnl.gov

The same goes for the station ID I've >>been told KROQ Los Angeles has. KITS San Francisco plays Kate quite >>a bit, but they've never managed to get one of those IDs! That's amazing. KITS in San Francisco can't get a station ID from Kate but tiny little WWSU here in Dayton can. "Hi, this is Kate Bush and you're listening to WWSU". It's generic but it's her. It sounds like she's on the phone with a really bad connection. WWSU is Wright State's radio station and when I say tiny I mean parvial (10 watts). I can't pick it up when I leave the parking lot. Obviously, someone there has connections. Greg Blouch Wright State University Dayton, Ohio
