I thought it would be fun to start a log of times Kate is played on
the radio. (North America only; this is probably much too easy in
Europe.)
From my own experience this shouldn't take up too much space on the
net -- I often go weeks without hearing her on the radio. I do travel
around the country a fair amount, so I would like to know what other
stations there are out there that play her.
Of course, I may just be in a good mood because this has been a fantastic
week for Kate on the radio. In the last eight days I've heard her
six times! Here's what was played, with comments if appropriate.
The two stations that I know play her are KITS San Francisco, a commercial
"modern rock" station similar to KROQ down in L.A., and KFJC, the radio
station of Foothill Community College in Los Altos Hills.
Here's the log:
Sunday, Jul. 23, 9:10 am: RUTH
" " " 2:10 pm: Wuthering Heights (new vocal)
That Sunday was an "all-request Sunday', so both songs were by
request. After W.H., the D.J. said "There's more evidence that
our listeners have the greatest taste."
(These were on KITS, by the way. I forgot to say that.)
Monday, Jul. 24, 9:15 am: W.H. (n.v.) on KFJC
The D.J. said "Here's something from _The Whole Story_, which
is sort of her greatest hits -- although she really doesn't
have any greatest hits; all her songs are great.
Saturday, Jul. 29, 7:15 pm: W.H. (n.v.) on KITS
This again was an all-request show. The D.J. mentioned that
Kate has a new album coming out. (I cannot tell a lie; I gave
her that news about a week ago.)
Monday, Jul. 31 (that's today!), 9:50 am: "Babooshka" on KFJC
" " " 10:15 am (less than a half hour after the above!):
"Cloudbusting" on KITS. This was played as part of what's the
connection, a contest the station has every weekday morning.
Three songs suggested by a listener are played, and callers
have to figure out the connection. As I said, "Cloudbusting
" was played, and I forget what the other two songs were.
The connection was obvious, however: rain.
This was the first time I ever heard that song on the
radio, so I called up the D.J. (Mark Hamilton) to thank him
for playing it. I told him that I'd not heard it before, and
he said, "Hey, you should listen to the morning show more often.
Yeah, I *love* Kate Bush! She's coming out with a new album, have
you heard?"
"Yeah, I've heard," I said.

In my last posting on this issue (earlier today), I said that I'd
heard Kate played six times on the radio in the last eight days.
Well, that must be increased to seven times:
Mon., Jul. 31, 4:20 pm. "Wuthering Heights" (new vocal) on KITS.
The D.J. called her "so creative" and "incredibly talented."
Well, that makes three Kate songs on the radio today -- a record from
my point of view.

I don't listen to radio at all, BUT, my girlfriend and I do a show on a non-profit cable FM station here in lovely Bloomington, Indiana (WQAX). It's just three hours every Tuesday, and we try to play at least one of our Goddess' works each show. We've been doing this show since the beginning of May, and here's what I remember having played: Wuthering Heights (original vocal) Oh, England Babooshka Army Dreamers Breathing (we play this a lot!) Sat in your Lap Night of the Swallow Get Out of My House Running Up That Hill The Big Sky (Meteorological Mix) Mother Stands for Comfort The Ninth Wave (that's right, the entire thing) This Woman's Work Sad to say, I don't think anybody else at the station plays KaTe. --John John Nienart IU Computer Science Internet: nienart@iuvax.cs.indiana.edu PS. Ed--Hi. If you want, send me email and I'll mail you a followup log after each show.
