The new issue of Mixmag (UK techno/jungle/house/etc. magazine) says that Goldie's *proposed collaboration* with Kate *didn't work out*....which probably means a)he couldn't reach her. b)she is resistant to the idea of collaborating with electronic artists--which I doubt, given the permission she granted to Utah Saints; why help out crap dance bands and then NOT work with talented ones? c)she's TOO BUSY IN THE STUDIO WITH HER OWN WORK!!! Any guesses which one I'm hoping is the case? Brian Dillard dillardb@pilot.msu.edu PS Let's let the Diana thing die and talk about Kate (or at least remotely Kate-related) stuff, eh? Like--anybody heard the new Bjork single, Joga, or album, Homogenic. I bought the single and have heard promos of the albums. Fucking fantastic on both counts. Abstract beats, an Icelandic string octet, less of a dance vibe, less narrative lyrics, no too-obvious genre-hopping. This is her first self-produced album and I have to say she fared better than Tori--less self indulgent, more self-ASSURED.
