pj harvey

it should be no surprise to anyone that pj harvey floats near the top of my most listened to female artists. i did nearly meet her once and maybe i should've done but i kind of subscribe that you should never meet the people you build your imaginary soundscapes around.

anyway, i was delighted to hear another track from her forthcoming album today

i am marooned. i hate the snow. i am fabulously restless!

Mad weather here (for us) too, and PJ is brilliant.

PJ who?

marion, you can't say that even as a joke! she's like spme sort of electrical touchstone for me. i can't say what her lyrics are like, tho i believe people like them, but the noises, the emotions, it's like she gets into my nerves. i find it all immensely productive to listen to.

if i had a fantasy list of people i'd like to collaborate with she'd be right on it, without a shadow of a doubt!

I wasn't joking...

i know you weren't.

but you also have the whole of pj harvey to listen to. not the easiest listen but worth it.

get to spotify now!

it is funny tho what people have 'missed' i have a friend who doesn't watch films - no tv, doesn't go to the cinema - and is highly amused by my protestations of you haven't seen that!!? but hpow do you live!!!

not that we're much better. my work colleagues live by their tv and still occasionally express some puzzlement that week doesn't include x factor/pop idol/strictly and the like.

pj harvey is worth it tho.
