best decade for music. I hit university as nirvana broke. was already into nirvana, pj, tad, alice in chains, stone temple pilots, soundgarden, nine inch nails. It was the best man
@@citizenpb I just turned 18 a month ago and this is an awful decade for music - I would rather be physically incapacitated for the rest of my life than continue to deal with the shit I do in this era lmfao
This woman is one of my hugest musical inspirations. As an artist, she's a shining example of how someone can explore every facet of themselves in front of the world, creating something amazing in the process.
Walk down 5th avenue and stop 100 people and ask them who PJ Harvey is. 99 will have no clue and the other will be PJ Harvey. Ask the same 100 who Miley Cyrus is? 99 will know and the other will be a dude from Ulan Bator. 9 albums released in the US and the highest got to #29 and the last one didn't even crack the top 50. I think that's fairly underrated. I know she's better known back home in the UK, but still nothing like as highly rated as she should be.
I was obsessed with going to a European festival or concert ever since seeing Mudhoney's set from this festival on Seattle Public Access. A drummer could almost keep time off that crowd
Look?! Nothing was about “look” then. It is all about BEING… In your case I suggest: Die. And get reborn proper. Live proper. This approximation you kids attempt.. it isn’t life. It won’t satisfy. You will look back with regrets. What is the point of living like that? If you at all relate to what she does, make your own way and luck. It’s not gonna happen on its own. It’s not about earrings and buns and stuff (honestly….🙄) . It’s not about aesthetics... That’s a byproduct. Trivial almost…. If you find the real meaning that would already be there, no effort. No reverence needed either. Even if I sound ornery, what I’m trying to say is a good wish: Good luck, young people, you’re gonna need it!
Oh then you guys must love the video for Judith by a perfect circle... when Paz rushes to put her hair up in a bun. The video is slightly sped up because she couldn't do it fast enough for the break. But it's absolutely adorable, fellas. It's one of those things that is so hot in stolen glance kind of way.
Aahh, the good old days..........Thank god for Polly and her amazing songs that never get old and after twenty years I never tire of listening to them Fucking genius ;)
Great song from one of the true musical geniuses of Rock. A Sheela-Na-Gig is a Celtic fertility idol found on many medieval churches and castles in Britain and Ireland. A vestige of pagan times, it is a nude female figure with exaggerated genitalia. Women wishing to have a child but having trouble getting pregnant would place money in the err... appropriate hole, hence the lyric "put money in your idol hole."
I made the mistake of completely failíng to see the immense potential of this amazing performer when this album came out, as it didn't stand out all that much from other stuff I was listening to. She's easily the greatest British performer to appear in the 90s and she keeps on getting better and better.
I salute the date as my 37th birthday to me now in 68th year of a life of music in no small part to Google/RU-vid/Alphabet Empire: calson associates circa 1920. 🐬
Yes: Nirvana kicked opened the door to the return of Guitar-Rock. Oasis, PJ Harvey, Blur, Pulp. Thom Yorke said that without Nirvana, Radiohead wouldn’t exist. He said that Nirvana’s enormous success meant that record companies were suddenly trying to sign young Guitar Bands, and Radiohead was a Young Guitar Band. Pulp started way before Nirvana, obviously, but their big successes came after Nirvana made it big in 1991. Nirvana was like The Beatles in that Record Companies were signing “similar artists” that were playing their type of music. PJ Harvey DEFINITELY fit into that category. I love PJ Harvey, by the way.
