This is the FAQ to rec.music.gaffa and Love-Hounds, the combined newsgroup
and mailing list about Kate Bush.  It is posted around the twenty-fifth of
every month.

Newer versions (in decreasing order) can be obtained from me
(uli@zoodle.robin.de), from Bill Wisner (majordomo@gryphon.com, message
contents "get love-hounds-digest FAQ"), from various newsgroups
(rec.music.gaffa, rec.music.info, alt.music.ecto, rec.answers, alt.answers,

This FAQ is completely free though not public domain.  I hereby declare I have
no right at all to stop anyone from posting this text if I ever lose the

1.   General

1.1. What is rec.music.gaffa?

     On August 16, 1985 |>oug /\lan thought it was time to create a
     discussion round about Kate Bush and her absolute artistic genius.  At
     first it was 'only' a mailing list, but it soon resulted in a usenet
     newsgroup.  The name "Gaffa" comes from "Suspended in Gaffa", a song on
     the album "The Dreaming", and refers to gaffer's tape (that's what Kate
     says).  Gaffer's tape (similar to duct tape, but not as sticky) is used
     to stop people from stumbling over cabling.

     The name 'r.m.gaffa' was preferred over 'r.m.katebush' to indicate that
     discussion is not limited to Kate.  Sometimes this gets too much, but
     what to do in a four years gap between albums?  Other artists discussed
     here include various female alternative artists as well as Kate related
     people like Peter Gabriel or Roy Harper.

        "Suddenly my feet are feet of mud
         It all goes slo-mo
         I don't know why I'm crying
         Am I suspended In Gaffa?"

     Another note about gaffa and the discussions about its meaning:

        AIIEEEEEEEE!  Please!  Not again!  "It's tape!" "No it's not, you
        shallow twerp!"  "But she said it's tape in an interview!"  "Well, she
        lied.  Kate _can_ lie, y'know..."  "But why would she?  C'mon, it's
        tape."  "No way -- far too shallow for the goddess.  Clearly, the song
        is about being mired in concepts that prevent us from reaching our
        chosen destinations."  "But she said it was tape"  "It's not."  ("Hey
        guys, quit shouting.  It could easily be _both_")  "Hey!  You got your
        gaffer's tape in my conceptual quagmire!"  "No -- you got your
        conceptual quagmire in my gaffer's tape!"  (TOGETHER)  "Heyyyyyyy..."

        Gaffa:  It's two great concepts that taste great together. [GP]

1.2. What is Love-Hounds?

     Love-Hounds is the mailing list version of rec.music.gaffa for those
     people who do not have usenet access.  This means that anyone with the
     ability to send and receive mail can take part.  |>oug /\lan, founder
     of Love-Hounds, did only later provoke the people on rec.music.misc
     to let him create rec.music.gaffa.  Together, the mailing list and r.m.g.
     form an informal fan club called "Love-Hounds."

     To post something to both, the mailing list and the newsgroup, you best
     send an email to

        love-hounds@gryphon.com

     If you think you want to be on the safe side you might want to subscribe
     to the mailing list as well as to the newsgroup, because minor problems
     with the software might cause some messages lost on one of the sides.
     (This hasn't happened for a long while now.)

     To subscribe to Love-Hounds you should send a friendly mail to Bill
     Wisner, the "moderator" of the list.  Send it to

        love-hounds-request@gryphon.com

     and specify whether you want bounce mail (every single message is
     forwarded to you) or 24h digests (all messages of a day are packed
     into one mail).  Remember that human beings aren't working 24 hours
     on each of those 365 days a year.

     You can also subscribe by using other networks (America Online,
     Prodigy, etc.).  You might have to find out how to reach the Internet
     using your carrier; for example, on Compuserve this works by adding
     ">INTERNET:" in front of the addresses.  Most of these services now have
     direct access to the usenet newsgroups, so rec.music.gaffa should be
     available directly.

     Richard Caldwell, a fellow Love-Hound, gives you access via the Big Sky
     BBS, 24 hours a day at 614-864-1198 (up to 14.4k baud).  Only charge
     is your phone bill for a long distance call.

     Another Kate-related BBS is The Electronic Cafe at
     1-805-399-3636.  A Kate-related BBS in Canada called Night Scented
     Stock, run by the former editor of the fanzine Still Breathing.  It's
     unfortunately not connected to Love-Hounds, but may soon be.
     1-604-572-4733.

1.3. How are they connected?

     To ensure that every message from the newsgroup rec.music.gaffa also
     finds its way into the mailing list Love-Hounds, rec.music.gaffa is
     a moderated newsgroup.  This means that to post an article to r.m.g
     you have to send it as an email message to the moderator who has to
     approve the article.  In r.m.g's case the 'moderator' is the receiving
     address for the list, i.e. love-hounds@gryphon.com.  More intelligent
     news software does know about this and if you post an article instead
     of sending it to the moderator's address these systems act in one
     of three ways:

     1. Your article is thrown away.  This is the reason why a lot of new
        readers don't find their articles in the news system.  If you
        experience this, you have to use the love-hounds@gryphon.com
        address by yourself.
     2. Your article is repackaged and forwarded to the moderator.  While
        doing this, the news software insists on creating a new header.
        This is responsible for most of the postings with some news system
        as the sender and without any subject.  It may be the case that your
        article actually is shown correctly on your news system, especially
        if the system forwarding it to the moderator isn't yours.  In this
        case you might wonder why replies or follow-ups to your articles
        don't have any subject.  If you experience this, you should either
        bug your system administrator (to change the behaviour to the third
        one below) or use the email address.
     3. Your article is directly forwarded to the moderator.  This is
        perfectly ok, since then your name and subject lines survive.

     Be assured again that no article you write is thrown away due to its
     contents or your person.  It's just the wrong way of posting it, since
     the whole process is fully automated.

1.4. Pictures?  Soundfiles?

     Pictures of Kate can be found via ftp (see section 6) in the archives.
     And this is the place where they belong - they do not belong onto
     the list itself - especially since it is also distributed via email.

     If you want to submit a picture, put it onto some ftp site and announce
     this on gaffa.  Thanks!  If you don't have ftp write access ask for
     someone who does and send the picture to this single person.

     This is not because we don't want to have pictures - the opposite is
     true!  But put them where they belong.

     The same is true for soundfiles, though they are of limited interest -
     basically only until the real thing is on the market.  Before you ask,
     there is no common way to compress soundfiles.  Using the best all-
     purpose techniques results at best in a 10% save, using specialised
     techniques results in a file that's not usable on all systems and in
     addition the sound quality decreases a bit.

     Right now there's a strict rule on love-hounds/rec.music.gaffa that we
     do not want any binaries posted to the group at all.  Tell us about them,
     ask where to put them, just do not post them.

1.5. T-Shirts?

     There now is a second edition of The Official Lovehounds-T-Shirt.  It
     features the album cover of The Dreaming, but "Suspended in
     rec.music.gaffa" above it (the Suspende In Gaffa single used the same
     picture).  The back shows "love-hounds@gryphon.com" over a handwritten
     letter Kate gave to Doug Alan in New York in December '93.

                        To Everyone at
                                 "Love Hounds"
                        Thanks for all your support
                              With Love
                               Kate Bush
                                     xx

     The shirt was originally designed by Steve Berlin [SB] who offers a
     picture of the shirt on http://www.chaco.com/~stev0/lhshirt.html and who
     wrote the following lines.

     Intergalactic Garage (IGG) is selling them; they're both the exact same
     thing.  Mary-Helen's shirts are all gone now, so IGG is the only left
     source unless someone else is willing to do a third print (which would
     need rescanning/redesigning the artwork due to a harddisk crash).

     The IGG price is $15.00 + $4.00 p&h (U.S. - ask them for non-U.S.
     postage), IGG takes Mastercard & Visa.

     IGG has the shirts in M, L, XL, and XXL.

     To order from IGG:

2.   Important topics outside of rec.music.gaffa/Love-Hounds

2.1. Who is Happy Rhodes?

     Love-Hounds was founded with the idea of being a newsgroup about
     "Progressive Artists with emphasis on Kate Bush", so discussions
     about other "progressive artists" are generally encouraged.  However,
     occasionally the talk about a different artist grows to a point where
     it is appropriate to form a separate group.  This is what happened
     with Happy Rhodes (this is really her name), whose song "Feed The Fire"
     (from Warpaint) was the most requested song on WXPN, a Philadelphia
     radio station.  Happy Rhodes discussion now takes place on an ever-
     growing mailing list founded by Jessica Koeppel called Ecto.  If you want
     to subscribe to this list, whose broad range of discussion now includes
     many other female artists (including Kate Bush), send a request to
     the Ecto organisation via:

        ecto-request@ecto.org

     or

        ecto-digest-request@ecto.org

     with a line in the message body

        subscribe ecto

     or

        subscribe ecto you@a.different.address

     To post a message send it to

        ecto@ecto.org

     A comprehensive FAQ about Ecto can be found via ftp (see section 6
     for details on ftp) on ftp://ftp.ecto.org .  The Ecto archives, a lot of
     pictures, interviews etc. can also be found there.

     Now there's also the usenet newsgroup alt.music.ecto, but unfortunately
     it still doesn't get wide distribution.  Bug your system administrators
     to carry it!  The mailing list and the newsgroup are not connected like
     Love-Hounds and rec.music.gaffa, they're separate entities.

     Also available is the IRC channel #ecto where at most times you can find
     some Ectophiles and #Ectophiles.

     If you're not in the United States (where Happy's albums should be
     available in any good record shop), here's how to get them directly:

        CD's (prices in US currency)
        Title                   Order #         Price

        P.O. Box 380
        Bearsville, NY 12409
        USA
        auralg@aol.com

     Please note that Happy prefers it if you buy the albums in a normal shop.

2.2. Who is Tori Amos?

     Another spin-off is the Tori Amos mailing list: Really-Deep-Thoughts.
     The address to subscribe to the mailing list is:

        rdt-request@novia.net

     The address to post to the mailing list is:

        rdt@novia.net

     The purpose of the list is to discuss and disseminate information about
     Tori Amos and her music, and anything else that seems relevant.  Due
     to the heavy load of discussion and members after the release of Tori's
     last album, Under The Pink, Anthony was forced to make the list digest-
     only, that is there is no bounce mail.  Watch out for limited editions of
     Tori's singles, since they ARE limited and the first UtP one, Cornflake
     Girl, was quite fast sold out completely.

     There now also is the second Big-8 newsgroup for a female artist, called
     rec.music.tori-amos, though it's (unlike love-hounds and r.m.gaffa)
     not connected with the mailing list.

     Since Really-Deep-Thoughts has had a few problems in its past, there are
     now several other Tori Amos mailing lists:

     Torinews (originally for news only)

        subscribe: torinews-request@chihuly.com
                   Subject: Subscribe Torinews
        post:      torinews@chihuly.com

     Precious-Things (meant for discussion about Tori)

        subscribe: precious-things-request@smoe.org or
                   precious-things-digest-request@smoe.org
                   Body: subscribe
        post:      precious-things@smoe.org

     Tori-Boot (flame-free discussion about bootlegs)

        subscribe: majordomo@world.std.com
                   Body: subscribe tori-boot
        post:      tori-boot@world.std.com

2.3. Other mailing lists that might be of interest

     Generally, mailing lists have a 'subscribe' and a 'post' address.  Use
     the first address to subscribe, the second to send messages to all people
     on the list.  Some mailing lists are automated, they require a specific
     format for the subscription, in most cases either a 'body' or a 'subject'
     line.  Body lines are single lines in the main part of the email message,
     while subject lines are, well, subject lines.  The subscription address
     is also used for UNsubscribing, those messages shouldn't go to the
     post:-addresses.  'Body:' means that the following text has to be send
     as a body line, 'Subject:' means it's the subject line.  'Your Name' means
     your real name, not your email address, 'your@address' means your email
     address.  Sometimes several lines for several services are given.
     Sometimes alternate (often shorter) addresses are available too.
     If a list is maintained manually it's noted as 'Manually'.  You should
     be more friendly then, and expect some reaction time (like nights,
     weekends, holidays) where noone is available.

2.4. MUSHrooms influenced by Kate

     (MUSH is Multi-User Shared Hallucination.)  There's a heavily
     Kate-influenced MUSHroom.  To access it, you need a direct internet
     connection and telnet.  Type:

        telnet tinycwru.chaco.com 4201

     And once you're logged on, type

        @tel #91468

     at the prompt.

     Once you're inside, you're in a Happy Rhodes-inspired room, but to
     get to the Kate room, go to the Artist Annex (where there are rooms
     for Kate, Tori, Sarah, etc.), then just type "Kate" to go to the
     Kate room (although you may want to look around first and also type
     HELP just so you can figure out what's happening).

     Along with a Virtual Kate Paradise (which Steve called "Gaffaland"), you
     can have real-time chat with your fellow Lovehounds! [SB]




3.   Love-Hounds and their behaviour...

3.1. Famous Love-Hounds

     A less frequent visotor is Andy Marvick, or rather his self-parody "IED".
     IED is the absolute "true believer" KaTefan.  IED, who will flame anyone
     showing any sign of diSbelIef, nowadaYs fulfilLs his roLe As
     encyclopedic demigod which seEms moRE natural for Him anyway.

     Stay longer this time, IED!

     BTW: Andy doesn't know either what IED stands for.  Make some
     suggestions!   I prefer "I Envy Del"...

3.2. Flamewars & abbreviations

     Normally Katefans are nice people.  Hey!  We all share at least one
     similar taste in music!  Nevertheless r.m.g shares something with every
     other usenet newsgroup - that is, there are flamewars.  Even the nasty
     kind.  No one likes them, so the best way to deal with rude and/or
     uninteresting posts is to ignore then and post something positive and
     interesting.

     Newbies are explicitly invited to take part in the conversation.  Be it
     that you want to know something not in this FAQ, be it that you think
     you have a piece of information to share, be it that you think you
     know some other music you think should be known by more people.  (Though
     I'd say you should at least like Kate :-) ...)

     Abbreviations commonly used on Love-Hounds include common Usenet
     conventions such as IMHO (In My Humble Opinion), ROFL (Rolling on the
     floor laughing), as well as sideways faces, known as "smilies" such
     as :-).  Also used here are the initials of Kate's songs, such as RUTH
     for Running Up That Hill (sometimes known as DwG for Deal with God ;^).

     A new one commonly seen is /+) or |X( or any combination, such
     as |+).  This is, of course, Kate's film "The Line, the Cross, and
     The Curve" (Sometimes abbreviated to the less cryptic-looking TLTCTC).

3.3. Spam postings

     What is a spam?
     
     Spamming is the posting of massive numbers of duplicate articles on
     Usenet.  Spams don't have to be commercial, they don't even have to be
     unrelated to the discussion topic... but they usually are.  A commercial
     posting that's not really on topic probably is posted to a big number of
     other newsgroups/mailing lists too, so any not Kate-related commercial
     posting is probably a spam.

     Someone selling a few Kate Bush records is definitely not a spam.  A
     professional record dealer selling more than a few records is also not a
     spam.  (Nevertheless both should avoid posting long sales list to the
     group.  Instead post an announcement that you've got stuff to sell and
     will send the list to interested people.)).  Remember that even if you
     don't like commercial postings at all, some of us like those that are
     Kate-related.

     A 'student' praising magazine subscriptions most definitely is a spam.

     Unfortunately, spamming is not illegal.  And if it was illegal in one
     country it doesn't have to be illegal world-wide.
     
     So what to do about spam postings?

     1. Write to the relevant postmasters (politely, they're likely to have
        hundreds if not thousands of similar mails), possibly including the
        complete spam posting including *all* headers (esp. "Received:" lines).
        If writing to postmaster@spammers.site doesn't help, you can check
        the chain of postmasters in the "Received:" headers, or you can find
        out the domain servers of the spammer's site by entering the spammer's
        domain (e.g. "spammer.com") on http://www.internic.net/wp/whois.html
        and complain at the "postmaster" at that site (this assumes the
        spammer's domain isn't completely faked).
     2. Do not mailbomb the originator.  Most of the times, the addresses
        are faked, that is, the only one not having trouble with the mail
        bomb is the spammer himself.
     3. Do not write to love-hounds/rec.music.gaffa, we all know it as well
        as you do.
     4. With repeated spams, check out with the maintainers of our moderator
        software .  They might be able to do
        something about it.
     5. Most important: do not call/write/ask/whatever the originator about
        whatever he wants to offer to you.  That's what he wants to achieve,
        and that might be what's paying him (addresses = information = money).
        You can complain if you know who he is, but please: do not play into
        his hands.

     See also the net-abuse newsgroups (news.admin.net-abuse.misc etc.).  Lots
     of the information here is from [DB].

     P.S.: to be a bit more PC: spammers could be female as well...

4.   Kate Bush Info

4.1. Kate Bush - her career and Kate as a human being

     Kate's first appearance in the public was a little tour through a few
     London pubs together with the so called KT (read: Katie) Bush Band.
     All of Kate's albums have the KT (originally Knights Templar) symbol
     hidden somewhere either on the cover or on the vinyl itself (see section
     4.6).  You might have to have original UK versions of the albums to find
     them.  The KT initials can also be seen in the "Army Dreamers" video.
     The release of the This Woman's Work boxed set there appeared a new
