The Garden, a PJ Harvey Discussion Site

Is her management taking selfies?

I do not like the new album or most of the last one. I don't like the way she sings these days or the lyrics. Oh well.
I also lost a lot of respect for her when I saw she is on Instagram. What's next, is she going to tweet?

Hehe, you are such a valuable source of information, I couldn't hate you!

How is it dramatic to get rid of an album I don't like in exchange for a smaller one that contains the sole portion of the album that I do like?

I am very disappointed. I think it is the worst thing she has ever done, by a considerable margin. I dislike the lyrics, the melodies, the phrasing, the arrangements, the sound of the recording, the artwork, & especially the male background vocals. I am selling it & buying The Wheel single because ...

Perfect amount for a nice little EP there.

“PJ Harvey is to music what Piers Morgan is to cable news.”

What does that even mean?

Another etching? So lame. Give us a damn b-side.

Credit to her for covering a song by someone she admits has always towered over her, but what a sacrilege. Not a good choice of song given the spare "arrangement" & the state of her voice. She could've pulled off something like "The Mystery of Love" or maybe even "I Think I'm a Mother" but not this.

I tried to remember which attracted me most before I knew what they contained.
I voted for Polly's lips on the copy machine. Rid of Me is a close second.
The back of 4-Track Demos should have been the front!

Great post, head's_bullet. I completely agree.

I will be disappointed if The Wheel is a picture disc without any b-sides. Picture discs tend to have poor sound.

Just heard it on Radio 6. Good song. Could easily fit on the last album.

I'm super excited about the album tracklist, though I was pretty sure River Anacostia was going to be the final track

I missed it too, but I'm listening to BBC6 now & the guys just said they would play it again in a little bit, so I will stay tuned.

Amazon Japan and Amazon US says The Wheel 7" Vinly will be released on 19 February. So maybe we don't have to wait until April :smile: Also February makes sense considering LES but not make sense considering tour dates :down:

Chances are it will be one of the song titles, yeah?
Perhaps she’s going to be self-deprecating & call it “War Tourism.”
