The Blue Nile

I have listened to Blue Nile's Hats album more than 1000 times. Think it could be in excess of 2000 times. If you want to know how it feels to be in love; if you need to remember how it feels to be in love; or if everything's broken and you need to hear how hope sounds - Hats is THE go-to album/refuge. So this doc captures them a little later, touring America, and the carefully chosen words are superb, as is the jail sequence at the end. If you are an addict - this is unmissable. If you are a newbie - this is a wonderful 'best-of' + visuals. just in case you don't who they are....

Kate Bush - Documentary 1979

A genius holding together the production of a legendary show/tour in england in 1979, at the tender age of 21. Nationwide was a teatime magazine show, and yet another place where Kate had to field stupid questions from idiot journos. She always talked eloquently about the creative process, and it must have been so frustrating when some 'bloke' would do the 'when are you going to settle down get married and become a breeder' speech. Kate tended to have two ways of dealing with such stupidity - a frostiness that can shrivel genitalia to nothing OR ramping up her other-worldly beauty to a level where the male starts to disintegrate. There is some great, currently missing, footage of the latter taking place some years before this film, with a respected tv (w)anchor getting both barrels from Kate and almost vapourising ha ha
