Ghost of a flea: Waiting for Kate Bush

Waiting for Kate Bush

Kate Bush is set to release an album this fall. Oh yes. Just the thing to celebrate Katemas.

The news that Kate Bush is returning with her first album since 1993 has prompted much swooning and clucking among her intense brood of devotees who look upon her as a latterday Gaia in legwarmers. These people who, it's said, celebrate her birthday, or "Katemas", annually, perhaps explain why Bush has devoted much of her fortune to ensuring that at no point do they come within half a mile of her.

Not that the Guardian could have left it at attacking her fans but had to have a go at the leg-warmer goddess herself. The Flea stands by Kate Bush as a fellow oracle, mystic waif, seer, conduit for the world of ethereal sprites and essentially, incorrigibly, a show-off. Let's have another listen to that Futureheads cover of Hounds of Love.

Funny thing is, as of last November, the new album was slated for release in April of this year. Is this some sort of mirage release, receding infinitely towards the event horizon? ;-)
