That would be correct, although OP is from Montreal, and the Inbreds are 
from Kingston (now residing in Halifax).  But who's counting, esp. in a 
Kate Bush group/list? :)

This got moved into books too, eh?  Well... time for some more CanCon:

Guy Gavriel Kay, Jack Whyte and Charles de Lint are recently acquired 
favourites.  John Irving and Fyodor Dostoevsky (your spelling mileage may 
vary) are long-time stand-bys.  My current read is the classic, Teach 
Yourself UNIX (3rd ed.).  I'm open to suggestions.

Keeping with the topic at hand, my recent acquisition of This Woman's 
Work was an interesting exercise:  first I find a copy available for 
$170.  Then I go down the street a few doors and find it at $140.  Being 
the impulsive guy that I am, I opted for the $140 set.  Once I opened it, 
I realized *why* it was $30 less - it was missing the "Lionheart" CD.

Most unusual.  Anyone else have a similar problem?  (The store does have 
a replacement set on order for me, but who knows how long that will take?)

Of course, in buying the set for a friend in Buffalo, I have quickly 
become a Kate Bush fan.  I wonder if he planned that?
