S06E11 - Walk Straight Down the Middle Strange Phenomena: The Music of Kate Bush

And now it's time for the b-sides, collaborations, and other era songs for The Sensual World era of Kate's music. This week, we're talking about a song that's both a b-side AND an album track. Or at least, a bonus track, if you bought the cassette or the CD. And that is a song that Kate recorded in about 24 hours (!!) and was the last song recorded for the album: Walk Straight Down The Middle.
We have a frequent guest for this show, young Kate fan Diego Ortega, to talk about this song, which he cites as one of his favorites! We talk about what this song means to us. What does the title mean? And how about that rather skeletal and spooky production? Is this Kate's take on synth pop? And how about those BRAAAAAHHHH sounds at the end?
It's all here in this week's episode!
