Portishead's Geoff Barrow on Twitter (about LES):

"Yes Polly Harvey !!! Proper record!!! Thank you."

he seems to hate pretty much everything and everybody in the charts nowadays so must be a real compliment coming from him But I guess he's always been a fan of PJ.

The glorious Neko Case tweeted this earlier this evening:

Billy Bragg: "Let England Shake" is brilliant(how right he is!)

Also, Henry Rollins has been playing tracks from the album quite regularly on his KCRW show. So far he has played the title track twice, written on the forehead and bitter branches.

Well done, Polly_Jean_Cave. I wish I could quote him word for word but he definitely called the album brilliant.

And here's Billy on Henry Rollins' show!

Also,

Marianne Faithfull had this to say in a recent interview: " Which living person do you most admire, and why?
