Well Radiohead are an amazing band but King Of Limbs isn't better than LES. I like Bon Iver fine, but I feel like he has 3 good songs per album. Polly for the win! |

I agree, I like LES better than radiohead's new album. I'd love Polly to get more awards. |

Quote: Uncut is pleased to announce that PJ Harvey has been chosen as the fourth winner of the Uncut Music Award, for “Let England Shake”. Our illustrious panel of judges met last month to select a winner from the shortlist of eight records, with “Let England Shake” emerging as the clear victor. It was, said Allan Jones, Uncut editor and chair of the panel, “A brave and dramatic record”, while Mark Cooper, BBC Creative Head Of Music Entertainment, described Harvey as “the best British artist of the last 20 years; a brilliantly inventive and self-demanding artist.” Linda Thompson also “loved it. I was impressed that a woman could go through a whole album and not mention some stupid bloke, except a stupid dead bloke. I love anything without hooks and choruses, that’s bliss for me, and these songs are beautifully played – beautifully underplayed.” “I’m very pleased to get the Uncut Music Award, and it strengthens my desire to carry on pursuing the avenues of work I have been for the last 20 years,” said PJ Harvey in response to the news. “It strengthens my conviction to always trust my instincts and to continue to do work of meaning and importance, in some way.”  http://www.uncut.co.uk/blog/index.php?blog=13&p=1748&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1#more1748 |

I like the quotes from the panel of judges. |

10 pages of an interview with Polly - what I have read is really good - and comments from the panel of judges. Lovely quotes from Spider Stacy, of The Pogues, and Adrian Utley, of Portishead, within the interview. One of the judges, Stewart Lee says, he was always impressed with Polly's work, but this album "really stopped me in my tracks". To think she started work on her next project as soon as 'Let England Shake' was recorded and finished. :-) |
