Just about ten years ago she seems to have turned from a creepy succubus bezerk to a creepily enchanting fairy. I loved both of these incarnations and everything inbetween.
I particularly enjoyed that early phase when she presented as a Joan Crawford on acid. : ) What a gal -- like Joni Mitchell, PJ maintains essential integrity through the rising and falling over time of dramatically differing performance personae (each with its own clique of die-hard aficionados who are chagrined that she "changed for the worse"...)
@moly5524 no, actually its from a british tv show called "From The Basement" where the producer Nigel Godrich produce a live show from the best musicians around the scene, for example: radiohead(obviously) the short wave set, beck, the white stripes etc. its an incredible show
I love P.J Harvey and everything she touches is gold. But i also love Nick Cave and i can't help but relate there failed relationship with one i also had with a black haired, green eyed talented girl. Nick Cave wrote an exceptional album "The Boatman calls" which was partly inspored by their breckup. Polly Jean breaks my heart like that girl did, because i can relate to the pain Nick Cave felt. Anyway this is an astonishing song and their both two of the best artists ever.
this is a video made by producer nigel godrich. he did an entire series called "from the basement," basically a bunch of recordings of bands in small jam space performing. radiohead, damien rice, sonic youth, white stripes, thom yorke, albert hammond jr are all examples of artists who have performed from the basement.
I really got her at this point, because I didn't have to love her sexuality, I loved that too, but it made me feel guilty. She is a clever girl, a really clever girl Spud
This song gives such a sensation of pain and be on the limit. She says so terrible things to those who can understand the song. Hope she finds peace some day, and the pain stops.
Was all in my mind, how sick am I. Did ruth get away, know I was late but no one spoke to me I could trust, am I being punished, nothing but pain and misery is my punishment. Id have got her if I was asked too. What if anything happened to rach,I long for an end to my life.
wow... back catalogue of brilliance.. gems you didnt discover cause you were doing something else at the time.... perhaps the only marriable woman on the planet... if forgetfulness allows me to stoop once more
Love me some P.J. Harvey For her I would eat roasted fly larvae Although I am decidedly tall and swarthy I follow not the teaching of Marcus Garvey Afro-centricism doesnt define me So P.J. Harvey, I applaud thee
