What in tarnation?!! There are people who hate Kate Bush? (I do recall a time where Waking the Witch came on shuffle when I was with a friend and it was VERY loud and they looked VERY uncomfortable and asked to change it) I've noticed that too, though, regarding others' lower tolerance for weird female versus male vocalists. Bush has SUCH a lovely voice, though, even when she's wailing hysterically. Whereas I can understand those who have a limited tolerance for, say, Nico or Diamanda Galas.

Honestly I think it's just the prevalence of male singers that makes plebs cold towards unique female singers.

Northern Virginia? If so then we're probably only a few hours away. We should promise to get together for a few beers and then never do it.

He might mean Nova Scotia. Or Nova Centauri.

Yeah, people aren't keen on her around here. Sadly, I've never actually met another Kate Bush fan irl. Not even in the shady alley next to the local record store where guys with Talking Heads shirts smoke blunts, and those guys like almost every musician ever.

We'd probably just end up getting shitfaced and watching Highlander.

What's the nicest unexpected compliment from a stranger you've ever received?
Once I was walking around in downtown LA and a man began to pass me but stopped suddenly, looked at me, made the sign of the cross and then crossed the street.

What outlandishly stupid and frivolous thing would you buy first if you suddenly became obscenely rich?
I would immediately buy a castle by the sea (What Janszoon said, basically, though ideally somewhere other than America. Scotland or Spain or somewhere maybe.) so that I can FINALLY have the opulent halloween parties of my dreams and complete my inevitable transformation into a Byronic heroine.

What are your favorite smells?
Rain (specificially: the smell of rain on honeysuckle bushes, wood fences, loamy gardens and on warm stone in the summer), frankincense & myrrh, cotton candy mingling with ocean air, bergamot, fir trees, coconut, tobacco, wood smoke in winter, jasmine, a candle that's just been snuffed out, old books, a leather jacket worn by someone you're making out with, and my perfume oil Lampades from Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab.

What do you love that everybody else seems to hate/not understand?
Possums! #Justice4Possums

What do you hate that everybody else seems to love?
Yoga. It's mind-numbingly boring and, besides, I'm incapable of being physically relaxed ever.

What's the last non-fiction book you read?
Magic, Witchcraft, and Ghosts in the Greek and Roman Worlds by Daneil Ogden
