I had a Miles Davis dream last night. Should I be booking a table at the great Plugged Nickel in the sky? So Paul's busy, is he? Busy doing nothing, working the whole day through, trying to find lots of things not to do, I'll be bound. He'd like to be unhappy but he simply doesn't have the time. Last night the BCN/Belgium chapter of Sinister had arranged to meet at a bar described in a local newspaper nightlife guide as "full of very young people who look like they've just come back from record shopping in London". I didn't go, because it was way past my bedtime. Kate Bush has a four octave voice, believe it or not. B&S content. Nick wrote something about someone in the band having said that their lives didn't have to revolve around the band "24/7" as Bob Hoskins might say, and that this means it's OK not to play live (or something like that, I'm paraphrasing wildly here) but not long ago (and this isn't Nick anymore) we were treated to the bizarre sight of Mister Jackson saying IN CAPITAL LETTERS that "this is the profession we have chosen" meaning pop stars or musicians or something. Call me old fashioned, but these two statements seem to be at odds. However they do have one thing in common. Neither would sound out of place coming from a petulant child, or "mardy bum" as we say in the Midlands. Having said that, I couldn't give a monkey's whether they play live or not. I'm sure there's a perfectly good reason. Same thing goes for the Peel session. The appearance of Donald Sutherland in a Kate Bush video was once considered a big deal. Heavens! What's the title of that Floyd track that's supposed to sound like an amazing journey through space, but in fact sounds like a bumpy ride in a bus? Big with stoneheads. It's good, that one is. The Floyd are called Pink after blues legend Pink Anderson, the jammy bastard.
