The Garden, a PJ Harvey Discussion Site

Very interesting Shadowboxer! Love the viral thing.
Clues and codes or however makes it very intriguing & mysterious. Something very cryptic & fun about these videos, will be good to find out who's behind it.

SO somebody tweeted from her show at SXSW and it was all acoustic and different from the virals.
HOWEVER, when she asked Jonna about the videos, she said she "can't comment on anything." She's aware but can't say anything. It's totally her.
Look at these two song titles: electric feel, down by the lake. PJ much?

You know you've had a bad day when

Jonna Lee tweet: In Texas via Tenesse and my guitar is in Amsterdam. Fuck.

edit: lykke li was another name being thrown around & it turns out that she's a surprise headliner at tonights show. So now the buzz at the gig is that it's a joint project. I need some air. (the secret guest was not lykke)

I'm still sceptic about it being Jonna Lee :S

How come?
I'm 100% sure it's her in the videos. But I am skeptical about the music aspect. She released an album in February and started shooting the virals in July - did she have 2 albums recorded at the same time? Also, recently she tweeted she "Was thinking about starting recording" but she may have been bluffing.
Anyways, I was expecting a new one today, why is this bitch making us wait!?

Just in case anyone is still following the bouncing ball "b" was released on itunes the day after the 7th video was uploaded.

^ That's so odd. There's also an iphone app. I bought the song, I couldn't handle the goat sound anymore. Thanks!

Christina is realasing her new single in her webpage now, but htought the thing lloks like nothing to so with iamami woman, we can't still ditch out the possibility it could be her, because if I remember well, she or her manager said that in this era, they wanted to have 2 albums

Maybe if it is Xtina, she wants to play it safe and have a money-maker and good stuff too

But honestly, this thingof not revealing nothing is getting boring and I'm losing interest whoever it is

^ I think with Christina she recorded a bunch of eletronic-ish songs with Ladytron, Le Tigre and MIA but her label company asked for a couple of "club bangers" to be added. Hence her working with mainstream hit-makers recently. It's definitely not her, it's been denied by her publicist, stylist and collaborators. This is the artwork for her CD:

Thanks for these, Shadowboxer. Reminds me of Chris Morris' show, 'Jam'. Now, there's a weird, disturbing, creepy, dark show. There are some clips on youtube.

It seems like we're getting a new video on sunday.
This was uploaded to amazon: click

^ you can listen to the complete Tara Busch remix of "b" (or b,2) along with an explanation of how she came about doing it here http://www.analogsuicide.com/

Must say that I like the original better.

^ Thanks, the vocals are less "robotic".
An O mp3 leaked. It's the song from the 6th video but with a different production. I like it, but the video version was better.
