Some of her 80s stuff was pretty avant-garde at the time. And the videos were a bit surreal. Like the one with Donald Sutherland and his weather machine fighting for freedom.

usually the ticket provider uses a kind of electronic queue system that works like a pre-booking, i.e. everyone clicks on a link and the first to click get to choose first their seats; everyone else is placed in a queue, and if the tickets don't finish before their turn, they can get to choose the seats. usually there's a time limit to complete the transaction, so that one does not have to wait a Whole day.

She still is wonderfully talented (and insane). Who else would do this from her last album:

Edit: Or her recent collaboration about snow with Stephen Fry, again from her last album :wub:

Thanks mongers, now I'm listening to Placebo's cover cause of you.

She's still pretty good, not just "in the day".

Her last two albums, Aerial and 50 Words for Snow get a fair bit of airplay here.
