The Garden, a PJ Harvey Discussion Site

Also interesting to note in this bookseller link:

"Harvey has worked on her poetry for seven years with Scottish poet Don Paterson, but this is her first published collection".

I see he's quite accomplished. Is anyome familiar with his poetry?

Thanks for this - I've pre-ordered a signed copy

Polly will read poetry and perform new songs at London Literature Festival on October 9 and 10 (with a short film from Seamus Murphy also set to be screened)!! [at Royal Festival Hall.]

Apparently, she has big plans for her birthday, maybe she'll even announce release of the album. And the short film, I think, may be about "Recording in Progress".

Tickets will go on sale to the public on Wednesday (July 22) at 10am. [most likely, here - http://www.southbankcentre.co.uk/whatso ... e-festival.]

Page of the event (with ticket prices): http://www.southbankcentre.co.uk/whatso ... hand-93266.

"Joining Harvey on stage are musicians John Parish and James Johnston (of "Gallon Drunk")."

it seems they scheduled the opening show rather purposefully, with a view to staging a birthday party of sorts. we should arrange to sing for her, the audience joining in "for she's a jolly good Polly".

got my Saturday tix sorted

Got my ticket, courtesy of eagle-eyed son (and Polly fan too), for the Saturday - giddy with excitement!

Woo! Got my tickets. I am very excited to see, or hear, whether she plays the song I heard her recording, and whether it sounds the same as it does in my head!

The e-book has been designed by the same designer as the print books, [freelancer] Lizzie Ballantyne, and it’s a fixed-format electronic edition that will include audio of Polly [Harvey] reading her poetry, audio from Seamus giving background to the photography, and hopefully moving images.” Von Hirschberg added: “The limitations of the format means it will probably only be available within Apple iBooks.”

I do hope that someone technically advanced will be able to divide these audio-files from electronic edition and make them available separate from it.

From this Mick Harvey interview in catalan language (via Google translator):

"What can explain the new album by PJ Harvey who has been working?
- I have no liberty to discuss the contents of the disc, but I can tell you it's pretty amazing. I was very impressed, and I want to hear the final mixes.

There will tour with the new album by PJ Harvey?
- Absolutely. The album will be released next year and I guess we'll tour."

In the previous interview he said (based just on the recording process, I think) that "SOME OF IT" sounded very impressive, and now (when he's, apparently, heard the rough cuts) he's just impressed in general - that's a good sign, right? ))) I just hope that there's not gonna be any further delay, and "early 2016" means January or February.
