The Garden, a PJ Harvey Discussion Site

Very happy for her. A true artist and one of a kind.

Polly's singing the line, "What if I take my problem to the United Nations" sounds so similar to "I'm gonna take my problem to the United Nations" from Eddie Cochran's "Summertime Blues". She even sings the words, United Nations, like Cochran did...putting the emphasis on the "U" of United Nations ...

I hate how this album is leaking in bits and pieces... proper leak NAO!!
I second that!
I'm resisting the urge to listen to the various bits that have popped up here and there, I prefer to wait for the whole album experience... but it's getting harder with your comments!

Me too. I listened to ...

This makes me look forward to the new album even more. Can't wait.

Last thing I played: "Come Feel Me Tremble" - Paul Westerberg

Just ordered tickets to a pretty nice double bill in February. Taj Mahal / Los Lobos

My niece just named her first born. A daughter. Claude Esme. That's first and middle name. The family is a bit bewildered.

Keith Jarrett at The Blue Note

Cool. Polly share a birthday with John Lennon. Listening to Bowie right now, but it will be PJ and John for the rest of the day. Happy, Happy Birthday, baby.

Been listening to piano trios lately; Bill Evans, Tommy Flanagan, Kenny Barron, John Hicks....plus it's great background music when I'm reading.

Please, more guitars than bagpipes
