Playing Canasta In Cold Rooms (Rinfy The Gypsy)
On Fire Inside A Snowball (Hoe In The Ice)

I'll go first! My top 6: 1. Where Are The Lionhearts? 2. It Hurts Me 3. Frightened Eyes 4. Something Like A Song 5. Stranded At The Moonbase 6. Pick The Rare Flower Hard choice, because there are so many great songs. Some of them really deserved to go on "Lionheart", I think. It seems a waste of such gems! |

My top 6: (are close to exactly as your's Sto) 1. Where Are The Lionhearts? [munchkin music  ] 2. Rinfy the Gypsy [May be my favorite of them] 3. It Hurts Me 4. Frightened Eyes 5. Something Like A Song 6. Pick The Rare Flower I love these songs because they are unpolished and showcase her raw talent, both as a writer and performer. |

I do have the demos but I don't really play them that much, so I'll wait until the list is wittled down.  |

Well done Paul, I knew you could do it! Everyone so far has gone for "It Hurts Me" - anyone want to predict this as the potential winner? |

So sorry Sto, I won't be contributing to this particular Kate Rate. Whilst I do have some of the demos, I rarely listen to them and certainly don't know them well enough to comment and reject tracks as necessary.
I'm actually in 2 minds about these unauthorised demos - if some of the stuff I did at that age surfaced, I would be mortified. But I can't deny their interest to KB fans and retain every respect for you guys playing on this chapter of Sto's epic quest. Enjoy and I'll see you next time - just don't think me stuffy!

Adey, I remember reading somewhere that Kate said she had some "good stuff" (paraphrasing) in her demos, and I agree. Song like "It Hurts Me" and "Lionhearts" are really quite emotive, and she shows herself to be extremely aware of love/sexuality and desire/poetic use of language from a young age, themese which are all echoed in her later work. They're definitely a part of the story which shouldn't be ignored, hence their inclusion in KateRate. Even if you don't contribute to this, I encourage you to listen to some more of the demos - you'll actually have some 'new' Kate material for you in the 11 year absence of new material! |

Oh I quite agree Sto. As I say, I am working my way through them and some of it is fantastic stuff. In many respects the start of any artist's career is potentially the most interesting part if not the most accomplished. |

Agreed! It's interesting to see the differences between the demos and "The Red Shoes" (just because that's her most recent). She evolved, but that doesn't necessarily mean she got better, just different. Also, I think some of the tracks like "Rubberband Girl"/"Eat The Music" just wouldn't have worked properly on piano. I'd love to hear studio versions of the demos, with synthesisers! |
