- All past messages of rec.music.gaffa/love-hounds-digest can be ftp'd
- from the love-hounds archive at ftp.UU.NET [137.39.1.9] in
- /usenet/rec.music.gaffa/archives. Song lyrics, interviews, the Garden
- and Cloudbusting, etc are in /usenet/rec.music.gaffa/kb on the same
- host.
-
-
- There are innumberable GIF (picture) files available including pics
- from the 1990 Kate Bush convention, which include pics of Kate's house
- and a Love-Hounds group pic (lovename.gif). Also, there are pics from
- the Cathy book (cathy??.gif), pics from the This Woman's Work booklet
- (TWW??.gif), pics from the 1979 Tour of Life booklet (page_??.gif), and
- uncounted more.
-
- To view these GIFs you will need a program for your type of computer.
- Public domain picture file viewers include CSHOW and PICEM for the IBM,
- TURBOGIF and HAMGIF for the Amiga, and Giffer or QuickGif for the
- Macintosh.
-
- GIF files are also available in
- /usenet/rec.music.gaffa/kb/pix/gif [and gif.new, gif_footah,
- gif.saintjohn, pix.hill, gif_tour_program, gif.newer, gif.fenger]
-
- If you've never used ftp, you use a program on your UNIX system called
- FTP.
- You connect by typing:
- ftp ftp.UU.NET
- Log in as "anonymous", and use your username as your password.
- To change directories type:
- cd usenet/rec.music.gaffa
- "dir" will get you a directory, "get" and the filename will retrieve
- the file. If you "cd" again into "archives" or "kb" you'll find the
- main goodies, with "pix" being another subdirectory within "kb", and
- "gif" and "gif.new" within "pix". (When downloading gif's, set your
- transfer type to binary by typing
- binary
- at the "ftp>" prompt.)
-
- Two priceless resources for Katefans have recently been made available,
- both of Thewhich are much more interesting then anything published:
- "The Garden" is Andrew Marvick's compilation of reference
- material on Kate, [availible in /usenet/rec.music.gaffa/kb/garden]
- including a detailed chronology of her life and career (much more
- complete then anything available anywhere else) [GARDEN01]. Also, a
- listing of all known Kate recordings, videography (which includes both
- official videos and the television appearances), and an extensive list
- of fan magazines [GARDEN02]. ALL of the lyrics (including background
- voices) to ALL of Kate's known songs (including unreleased songs)
- [GARDEN04]. All of John's and Paddy's [GARDEN03] interviews and
- articles for the Kate Bush Club Newsletter, as well as Kate's articles
- for the KBC [GARDEN05, GARDEN06]. Also included are about sixty
- interviews [GARDEN07 through GARDEN10].
- "Cloudbusting - Kate Bush In Her Own Words" is Ron Hill's (the
- keeper of this monthly post) compilation of almost 200 interviews,
- sorted by song, story, and subject order, forming the closest we may
- ever see to a full-fledged Kate autobiography. It is availabl in
- regular text format, or in Wordperfect 4.2 format, which makes use of
- Wordperfect's underlining, bolding, and italizing, ability, and
- contains an extensive index. It is also available in MacWrite II,
- PostScript, and Word 4.0 versions. (Eventually the unedited interviews
- will be added into The Garden).
- There are also a series of Cloudbusting GIF (picture) files,
- which are located in love-hounds/kb/cloudbusting/gif [APPARENTLY THESE
- ARE THRASHED]. A title page [CTITLE.GIF and a larger version,
- CTITLEB.GIF], a title page for Part II [CSTORY.GIF] and part III
- [CSUBJECT.GIF], a credits screen [CREDITS.GIF], and a pic of 3 inch
- disk label [CLABEL.GIF, and a b&w version CLABELBW.GIF]. There are
- also pictures for most of the albums which show the picture of Kate
- from the album cover next to a listing of songs [titles begin with
- "O"]. There are also "alternative" pics for some of the albums, which
- show pictures SIMULAR to but not identical to the album covers [files
- begin with "A"]. There are also "full" pictures for some of the albums
- [titles begin with "F"], which are the raw, uncropped, pictures.
- Cloudbusting is available in /usenet/rec.music.gaffa/kb/cloudbus
- ting. The text version is in /love-hounds/kb/cloudbusting/text.
- Filenames are cloud0.txt, cloud1a.txt, cloud1b.txt, cloud1c.txt,
- cloud2a.txt, cloud2b.txt, cloud3a.txt, cloud 3b.txt, cloud3c.txt,
- cloud4.txt, cloud5.txt, clouds.txt. It is also available compressed
- with ZIP in /love-hounds/kb/cloudbusting/zip as filenames cloud045.zip,
- cloud1.zip, cloud2.zip, cloud3.zip.
-
- A third, in-progress book, also by Ron Hill, will be "Deeper
- Understanding - A collection of Kate Bush articles" which will compile
- the "best of" the Love-Hounds as well as a few articles from fan
- magazines and lots of published reviews. It'll be about five megs in
- size.
-
-
- If you don't have FTP (file transfer ability) you can still get the
- files by using an FTP mail server run by DEC. You send it a list of
- commands and then it sends you the files as regular mail messages, so
- anyone who has the ability to send and receive private mail can use
- this. If a file is larger then 60k it will be send as more then one
- message.
- If you want to GET binary files (GIF picture files, Wordperfect
- files, or anything that's not straight text) it will send you the
- files in a special text format called UUENCODED, you will need a
- program called UUDECODE for your computer to decode these. Note that
- this is not always the most relible way of getting files, ie you may
- have to do it several times.
- To start off using this, send a message to
- ftpmail@decwrl.dec.com, the first message should read simply HELP -
- don't bother with a subject line as these are ignored. You will be
- sent back the basic commands and some examples, read this carefully (as
- much as you are able to understand). Here are some specific examples
- for accessing the love-hounds archives, don't type the parts in
- brackets []. Note that when typing in file names, upper and
- lower case are mportant!
-
