cloudbusting

i finished up at work last friday and it was a relief to finally make it to the end. when you have a countdown in your head from 6 or 7 weeks out, the end seems so far away, but i got there in the end and you quickly forget how dull and long some of the days were that got you there. 

i also heard back from the swiss bank that interviewed me a couple of weeks ago and they decided to go with someone else who had contracted there previously. no worries. i was almost dreading getting that job. it was just support and operational work and i would rather do some projects. 

have got all my stuff ready for my trip to the states for which i fly out tomorrow. bought tickets for maximo park in LA, which was the last thing for me to get sorted. everything else is good to go, i think. my heart and soul and brain needs a break from london and life and work. 

today i have mostly been listening to kate bush - cloudbusting. when you see the generic karaoke singers that get fame and fortune that far exceeds there skills, its nice to know there are artists that appear to be in music because they want to make music, and not for the money or the fame or the endorsements or the free tickets to film premieres and fashion shows. a friend of a friend is a musician and he knows some producers and one of them passed on a recording he had made to kate bush, without his knowledge. she then added some backing vocals on one of the songs she liked and gave it back to him and said he could use it as long as it was uncredited that she did it. how fucking cool is that. some people just like to sing and are into music. 

enjoy this wonderful tune.
