I am really looking forward to this.

Never Gonna Love Again is really hitting the spot at the moment.

Good grief I don't think I've had this much support/hype since those glory days of Lana Del Rey.

While I love the sound of the song Ultaviolence, I really find it lyrically off. It really is glorifying an abusive relationship and I really can't square that with my love of her music. Shades of Cool is just plain ordinary.

I couldn't honestly tell you if it is a rip off or not because I've never heard it!

So two songs left, Running Up That Hill and Wuthering Heights. Which came top? Results soon...

3. Hounds of Love (9.75) http://www.katebushnews.com/wp-content/uploads/hol-ep.jpg The title track from her 1985 is next and is still a favourite despite being sullied by what I think was a quite abysmal hit cover version. VerK4zwMRQw

4. Babooshka (9.67) http://www.katebush.com/sites/default/files/imagecache/fullwidth_image/Babooshka.jpg Yet more sexual frustration and repression from the early part of her career, with possibly her warrior woman persona from the video being one of the more immediately recognisable images of her. 6xckBwPdo1c

5. This Woman's Work (9.58) http://www.katebush.com/sites/default/files/imagecache/fullwidth_image/ThisWomansWork_Best.jpg Into the Top 5 we go and at #5 is the song that had a whole new lease of life when it was used to soundtrack an advert from the NSPCC. Yet another beautiful song (how many times have I written that?) and just makes me cry at just how good it is. iEHqPCA_lzQ

6. The Man With The Child In His Eyes (9.42) http://www.katebush.com/sites/default/files/imagecache/fullwidth_image/TheManWithTheChildInHisEyes.jpg A truly, truly beautiful song conveying an aching sense of longing, something she has been consistantly good at over the years. NAj8suae3WY

7. Suspended In Gaffa (9.36) http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/17/Suspended_in_Gaffa.jpg/220px-Suspended_in_Gaffa.jpg Maybe surprisingly, this Europe only single from The Dreaming lodges itself safely in the Top 10. Maybe she should have released this instead of There Goes A Tenner here as well. V3XAeg3B0To

8. Don't Give Up (8.92) http://991.com/NewGallery/Peter-Gabriel-Dont-Give-Up-38049.jpg Kate supplied the vocals for this duet with Peter Gabriel that were originally intended for Dolly Parton. uiCRZLr9oRw

9. Cloudbusting (8.75) http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/d/df/Cloudbusting.jpg With yet another fabulous video, where she plays Donald Sutherland's son, is another of my personal faves. pllRW9wETzw

10. Army Dreamers (8.67) http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/6/6f/Army_Dreamers.jpg And tying Experiment IV is Kate's anti-war song. QOZDKlpybZE

Actually a straight person playing a crossdressing character is spot on to be honest. She (the character) is not transgender yet, has not transitioned and could well be straight like a large number of crossdressers. Anyway how do we know what he does in his spare time? ;)

I can see where you're coming from. Just watched Hey Jane again and what an incredible video. I think transgender videos are in a tiny minority though (not counting videos featuring drag as this is tied in with a lot of gay culture and seems to be amply represented positively in pop videos).

How so Ben? Admittedly I find the first half of the video better than the second half which is no more than a fantasy sequence and is very cheesy.

Isca Dumnoniorum was the Roman name for Exeter. Just used the first part for the country name.

This is quite simply the best thing Arcade Fire have ever done. For so many reasons...
