For the penultimate visit to The Kate Bush Interview Archive, I highlight one where Kate Bush faced Danny Baker.
Writing for NME in 1979, his disrespect and ignorance was met with pure professionalism and maturity from Bush.
Fascinating and shocking:

Tomorrow: Kate Bush...
As we are in need of continued warmth and look ahead to summer, I have assembled an assortment of good-vibe tracks.

An album that might be unknown to some - and one that I discovered through Pete Paphides on Soho Radio -, I recommend Eddie Chacon's (@EddieC) Sundown for this Revisiting...
It was one of the best (and more under-reviewed) albums of last year:

So pumped for this reissue and update of Graeme Thomson's essential Kate Bush biography 👇

For this Kate Bush feature, I look back at her 1988 and 1989.
Not did she finish and release The Sensual World (1989), Bush also engaged in charity fundraising and a trip to Bulgaria to recruit and work with the Trio Bulgarka:

Released through impulse! records earlier this year, Alice Coltrane: The Carnegie Hall Concert is an album I was keen to spotlight for this Vinyl Corner.
A remarkable and soul-baring performance from 1971, we hear and feel the multiple sides of Coltrane:

Sixty years old today, The Beach Boys' I Get Around is sublime.
So much infectiousness, sunshine and joy packed into just over two minutes.
They don't make them like this anymore!
Salute to Brian Wilson's production and songwriting:

As Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction debuted at Cannes on 21st May, 1994, I wanted to mark its thirtieth anniversary.
Specifically, I look inside its iconic soundtrack and argue that it is the best of all time.
It redefined what a movie soundtrack could be:

As Kate Bush's Director's Cut was released on 16th May, 2011, I spend time with it.
Featuring reworked/re-recorded versions of tracks from two of her studio albums, I write why we need to celebrate this work ahead of its thirteenth anniversary:

In this Spotlight feature is the magnificent Leyla McCalla (Leyla McCalla).
The New York-born artist released Sun Without the Heat recently.
It is one of the finest albums of 2024:
