Kate Bush - 50 Words For Snow (New Album)

Good to see her again, but she looks on the tragic side!

Oh dear, someone needs to stop watching pop videos! That is a perfectly normal and still naturally attractive 50-something woman, with a family and a career in music that's on her terms. People age, it happens. We can't all look like we did when we were 18. She was stunning in her heyday, but there are more important things, more ways to be a success in life, than trying to keep pace with female popstars half your age and doing whatever it takes to your body and your lifestyle to achieve that.

Of all the 70s and 80s stars, it seems the "odd" ones (as in "odd" according to the media) like Kate and Prince have actually been the ones who got the balance between a career and a proper life just about right.

And in come the ageist accusations! Yawn.

I'm glad 50 Words For Snow has got some recognition, her joy at receiving the award is so cute.

I love Kate, but I do think the hair borders on miss Havisham territory.

She could've at least brushed it!
 
Since this is only gossip I'm bumping this thread.

Read that there is a reworked version of Running Up That Hill coming out, supposedly very dancy. By the time I heard about it all the relevant twitter posts and update on katebushnews.com have been taken down, but there's gossip going on on other forums. That is essentially all we know. Could be for Olympics, New Director's Cut-esque album, or a new Greatest Hits.

Okay I lied and saved the best for last. That's not all we know (about what may or may not be true.) https://twitter.com/tompilch/status/221212923396227072/photo/1/large this is a picture of Jude Law on what is supposedly the set for the music video for this new Running Up That Hill.

If this turns out to be true and there is indeed new Kate Bush coming out this year, I would consider this a very good sign of the coming 2012 Apocalypse. What a way to go out though.
 
Imagine if Kate Bush made her first public performance in 130 years and it was at The Olympics.

Hopefully they're not unfounded rumours, new Kate is always welcome, even if it's just re-recorded versions of old songs, I really did enjoy Director's Cut.
 
The Olympics rumours continue to grow... I think it's most likely happening.

Also, this album has edged its way past Never For Ever and is now my third favourite album of hers.
 
I absolutely love 50 Words. To be honest, I can't wait for it to get wintery (or at least autumny) again to be able to listen to it. It does not really go very well with summer weather.
