Great album, isn't it? )))

Here's a link to Polly performing "Good Fortune" at Jay Leno show on October 17, 2000, provided by Romario11 almost a year ago: http://www.mediafire.com/download/4cdos9squ112eor/2001+-+%28TV+-+Jay+Leno%29-+Good+Fortune.avi (maybe somebody haven't seen it).

Unfortunately, it cuts off before the interview:

And here's live on French TV on October 24, 2000:

My favorite, I'm listening to it now! I love every song on it, We Float, Horses In My Dreams are some of the most beautiful songs Ive ever heard. This Is Love, Kamikaze, The Whores Hustle some of the best rockers. Everything fits together perfectly.

The album cover is a perfect fit for the mood and sound of the album too. Lol, I'm glad she didn't use the original cover- it doesn't really fit at all/

Possibly my favorite album as well. Stories also serves as a "gateway drug" into her other albums.

Its funny, Stories took the longest for me to like but then it became my favorite. Is This Desire, which many would say is her least accessible, was oddly the most immediate to me.

It is a great album, but I think it is also one of the more commercial. I hope you understand what I mean ... I think it is a crucial point, a climax of the first part of the artistic career of PJ. After, in my opinion, there was a decrease of expression, but at the same time an album White Chalk as excessive and staff.
Do this personal judgment, based more on the music, rather than lyrics, because I'm not that good to catch them in all their entirety ...

And sorry for my English ... :grin:

"Horses in my Dreams" has become one of my favorite PJ songs. I also really like "Beautiful Feeling" now (I never gave it much thought before)

Yep, two of my favorites as well:




While PJ's new songs are great, to me her earlier lyrical content (pre-LES) has a lot more emotive impact.

I would say 'Stories...' was her most accessible album.
