I love "White Chalk" era shows, but that's too minimalistic even for me.

I just want her to pick up the guitar and play "Rid of Me" - I don't like it when rock-stars go "artsy".

Maybe it is a closer, but I don't think that's an album order of songs overall. And Murphy did said in the radio-interview that there's gonna be at least a couple more songs on the record.

Also, now I think that "Throwing Nothing" could also be a good title for the album - you could apply this phrase to many situations: like, when military jets throw bombs and destroy everything ("create nothing"), or when politicians give big promises before elections ("throw words to the wind"), or it could be said of a person who tries to change the world, it also can be read as a hint for consumer society. It even goes well with Polly's often-said thought about beauty of performing music live (it's happening in the moment, and then it's gone).
I was hoping there would be more songs on the album, that's good news. Def hope UNHCR makes it, and Ill Be Waiting.
I wasn't thinking the songs would be in that exact order, but I think River Anacostia would just be a great closer. Closing the album with the question, what will become of us? I think that's perfect.

About the title, I think it's possible this could be like Stories and have a title that isn't the name of a song.

"I want songs to remain as singalong-ey as possible. I tried so hard to make them catchy when I was writing them. That's my masterplan."
finally had the time to listen to the new songs and I think she made it! Very catchy
I like them and singin all they long
The Orange Monkey is cool
The Community of Hope and Anacostia especially beautiful

Community of Hope was brilliant, and I've listened to River Anacostia about 5 times. Everything else left me so underwhelmed that it kind of ruined my day
the correct term would be f****d-up

Wow, at first Community of Hope and Homo Sappy were the songs I didn't immediately like. Now though, I cant get all of them out of my head. I think this has potential to be my favorite album of hers.

many thanks Black Hearted Love

I guess i am missing something, I click on the files, they seem to download, then it prompts me to open in i tunes, but there is nothing there ... I am on a Mac book Air. Whilst I dont want to clog up the pages of The Garden with tech advise, I hope that someone will feel inclined to load these up on some other forum so we can take a listen !

Hi joe, try downloading an app that opens videos. Like a video player. Or, natnhos has uploaded a few of the songs on YouTube.

Can someone confirm the (song) set order for Oct 9 was:

01 chain of keys
02 the wheel
03 the orange monkey
04 the ministry of social affairs
05 dollar dollar
06 the community of hope
07 homo sappy blues
08 medicinals
09 near the memorials to vietnam and lincoln
10 river anacostia

as well as the setlist for Oct 10 was the same?

pollyharvey.co.uk is showing the same setlist for both nights and the orange monkey and the ministry of social affairs swapped:

Poem – The Boy
Poem – Charikar
Poem – The Glass
Song – Dollar, Dollar

Poem – At the Airbase

Washington, D.C
