Hello to all fellow Love-Hounds, I was just browsing the new TV guide which has just arrived when I noticed the BBC 2 programming for Saturday afternoon. Yes! The good old BBC is showing the original movie `The Red Shoes' by Micheal Powell and Emeric Pressburger! So, for all of you who are lucky enough to receive the Beeb, it's on at Saturday 24th and it starts at 14.10 CET. However, that's not all. The film preceding `The Red Shoes' is another film by Powell and Pressburger and that one is called `Gone to Earth'! Well, is it just me or are weird things happening at the BBC? Let me explain. Over the years I've notices some strange similarities between my two favorite artists: the aforementioned Goddess of Pop and David Sylvian. For instance: they were both born in Kent in 1958 and they both released their first albums in 1978 (for David: `Adolescent Sex' with his band Japan). Kate worked with Mick Karn, who used to be Japan's fretless bass-player, on `The Sensual World'. David married Ingrid Chavez, who used to be working for/with His Royal Unpronouncebleness. Which brings us back to `The Red Shoes' on which the Minneapolis Midget can be heard. In 1986 David releases `Gone to Earth', his second solo album, which has a song with the same title on it. In 1993, Kate releases `The Red Shoes' and a song with the same title. Both of these album and song titles are from films by the Archers (Powell & Pressburger) who are both from (get this!) 1948! Anyway (had to share this), have fun with the movies. Gone to Earth, BBC 2, Saturday 24th, 12.20 - 14.10 CET The Red Shoes, BBC 2, Saturday 24th, 14.10 - 16.20 CET Richard (p.s. hi to Van! Sorry about the video-trouble)
