Apparently the text of the tweet says:

Interview with PJ Harvey! 1993
Interviewed by Steve Albini
"I went to see BIKINI KILL and HUGGY BEAR. They put people on stage between songs to talk about feminism. The gig was like an excuse to attack men."

Wow, I’d kill to be able to read that. LOL @ the “excuse to attack men” quote.

And I wonder what the date was on that setlist? Looks to be an odd mix of the pre-Rid Of Me setlist (“Hair,” “Joe,” “Dry”) and the Rid Of Me tour set (“Wang Dang Doodle”).

Must be one of these? (Guessing because of the "ON AIR" written at the top of the setlist)

1993-07-21, - SHIBUYA ON AIR - TOKYO, JAPAN

1993-07-20, - SHIBUYA ON AIR - TOKYO, JAPAN

1993-07-19, - SHIBUYA ON AIR - TOKYO, JAPAN

And the setlist looks similar to the previous gig before the Japanese leg of the tour (apart from the ultra-rare inclusion of Joe and Dry):

1993-07-13, - PALLADIUM - HOLLYWOOD, CA, U.S.A.
Set List- Naked Cousin / Primed & Ticking / Highway 61 Revisited / Yuri-G / Wang Dang Doodle / O Stella / Dress / Hair / Legs / 50Ft Queenie / Sheela-Na-Gig / M-Bike / Me-Jane / Snake / Man-size / Water.

Awesome, thanks! I had not seen that one before.

Man, this part just about broke my heart.

There hasn't been much written about your
guitar playing. That's the first thing I noticed
about your music, and something that's
never talked about. The singing and the
songs are nice enough, but the rock is the
most distinctive thing. You're a great and
original guitar player.

"Well, I've just been interviewed by Guitar World,
and I'll tell you that's the first time anybody's ever
even mentioned my guitar playing, They were
doing an article on Wornen In Rock Bands.

Christ.

"They took my guitar's picture. It's the most beauti-
ful guitar in the world.”

Totally agree with Steve here, and it’s such a shame that that indifference to her playing has been, for the most part, a constant throughout her career as a musician. She deserves better.

I’ve been trying to track down that Guitar World issue for years to no avail.

Thank you so much, Romario, for the file! A pleasure to read.

duh.. they really humiliate journos here...

...AND I LOVE IT.

That's a perfect example of the young PJ: Sharp and even quite edgy when provoked or bothered. What i find peculiar in this article is how straight forward she is: you can tell she is talking to a friend. Yet the end of page 51 is just hilarious trolling by the two:

you're the only person i know who's passionate about potatoes as a food

have you ever seen spray on hair?

Didn't expect her to like fricking Motorhead... am i the only one who would kill for a proper metal cover/song by PJ? Heaven knows she would have the skill to do it.
Ah ,i searched on the internet, and the Howlin' Wolf song she is referencing is, you will not believe it, "Forty-Four".
