In 2013 Rob Ellis said ‘nobody hears from him at all or knows what he’s doing. I think he lives a sort of hermit-like existence’, and that he hadn't spoken to him for ten years (https://www.spin.com/2013/05/pj-harvey- ... ve-albini/). That wasn't quite true, as he appears on Spleen which was made in 1996 - so it was just seven years!

(In fact, checking, everyone appears on Spleen - John Parish, Charles Dickie, Sammy Hurden, Jess Upton ... Has anyone else here actually listened to it? Or just me?)

thank you for sharing that, can't remember if i've read it before or not. Actually, if this interview is from 2013 it would be 17 years after Spleen: so that means he hadn't spoken to Vaughan since 2003.

oh yes, i did. PJ's rarity "daddy" comes from the "soundtrack to spleen" album.

Oooh, I have never seen these! Hope Six outtakes, I assume? Where did you find them?

I was pleasantly surprised to hear that the version of "Daddy" on the Spleen album is quite a bit different from the "B-side" version. I didn't realise that before. I did try to listen to the whole album yesterday but it was hard going in places to my ears!

Yep, by Seamus Murphy! Found them on a facebook page.
Not a fan of the hat but I love her silly poses

Sorry, there's the historian who just lets ten years disappear by accident!

Accessibility is not a key concern! The follow-up, Little Scratches, is a bit easier to deal with.

New IItOYD pictures:

Where have these come from, Bruise? I've seen clearly similar ones before, but never these exact images.

Found them here: https://poprockphotos.com/product-category/pj-harvey/
There are also some which have already been around for a long time.
Strangely enough, the site does not credit the name of the photographer despite the description of the set:

Took this image in Dorset at Poly’s Studio in 1995 for Select Magazine Cover. Travelled down with a red and blue background paper and a ring light. Shooting a cross process technique. Shooting EPT transparency and processed through C41. Fantastic grain enhancement and colour saturation.We only had about an hour but she was great to work with.

Love your suit mom
