KT NEWS:
^^^^^^^
The new (2nd) UK KT single had its release date set back
one week: it is now slated to show up in England's retail stores
on Monday, November 20 (IED's birthday!). The a-side is the
LP mix of _This_Woman's_Work_, and the b-side is a new re-mix
of _Be_Kind_to_My_Mistakes_. The 12-inch and CD-single will
contain both those tracks, plus a _brand_new_Kate_Bush_track_
called _I'm_Still_Waiting_ (a sequel to _There_Goes_a_Tenner_,
perhaps? or maybe a song written from the point of view of
KT fans everywhere?).
MisK.:
^^^^^
11/25 _Billboard_ chart listings: US LP chart, up from 46 to 43;
UK (Gallup/Music Week) LP chart, down from 16 to 23; Canadian
LP chart, stable at 19. _Rockpool_ (a trade publication for
alternative college and commercial radio and retailers) has
Kate at or near the top of nearly every regional retail and
radio chart, at number 2 of the national alternative college
radio airplay chart, and up from 50 (last issue) to _1_--a
jump of 49 places in _one_week_--on the college retail chart.
(Thanks, Chris and Vickie, for this information.)
And with indicators like these, three guesses what this
says about the competence of CBS's marketing team for not
releasing a single, or even sending retailers a solitary piece
of display art! IED recommends that every Love-Hound sit
down right this instant and write/send Kate a letter urging her
to ditch CBS and find a decent US label for once!
A couple of other charts: MTV has put the _Love_and_Anger_
video in its "Buzz Bin" (IED is told this means dead-of-night
airings only); and VH-1 has put it on medium rotation.
Finally, the first part of a two-part interview with
Kate has appeared in issue #32 of _RAW_. It's got a great
colour shot on one page, and one page of biography and interview
(nothing very different from earlier interviews is said). IED
will wait till the follow-up issue comes out (in about ten
days) before posting both--unless he receives tons of e-mail
complaining about the delay.

MTV's "Buzz Bin" is hardly a dead-of-night rotation . . . I've had friends *complaining* about how often this video seems to turn up lately. It's a very interesting video, with Kate looking (IMHO) a little sweeter, prettier, and (natch) more sensual than usual. And I love the whirling of the Dervishes! ;-) Lazlo (lazlo@ariel.unm.edu) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "I needed to make some napalm, mom . . .
