Ep 85: Alexis Jaworski Nominates Kate Bush’s “Hounds of Love”

This week on This One Goes to 11, we’re discussing yet another grand dame of art pop: the singular, magical, unforgettable Kate Bush! And we’re beyond lucky to have another unforgettable friend of the pod here making the case for Ms. Bush’s “Hounds of Love” - Tyler’s one-time colleague and forever friend Alexis Jaworski. As you’ll find out, Alexis and Kate are a match made in heaven. Alexis came ready with a rock-solid case for this album’s perfection. She paints a picture of her coming of age during the musically infamous 90s in Chicago and leaves Tyler and Michael green with envy listing some of the legendary shows she attended. There’s a non-zero percent chance Radiohead was one of them, but names like Rage Against the Machine and Violent Femmes are mentioned as well. I mean, come one! This all serves to tie into her rediscovery of Kate Bush during the depths of the initial Covid quarantine and how the balance Bush strikes between the light and dark with her music served as a buoy for her when we found ourselves adrift. Alexis has an artist’s soul and an intellect like a scalpel, we think Kate B would be quite flattered by the testimony rendered here.But will Alexis’s case have what it takes to run up that hill and place “Hounds of Love” in the TOGT11 pantheon? You don’t have to make a deal with God to find out, just listen to the podcast!Here’s the link to watch the series Alexis produced with the Chicago Department of Public Health called HIV and the Journey Toward Zero. Please, please check it out when you have a chance. This is important work of which we should all be aware. Congrats to Alexis and the whole team on a beautiful piece of storytelling.And while you’re at it, go learn more about Blakesville Creamery where Alexis’s partner Veronica is making some truly outstanding cheese.
