The Garden, a PJ Harvey Discussion Site

Ok.........because there are SO many videos I've put top 4 instead of just 3 this time.

In fact this poll only allows up to 20 max options so I've *had* to leave out Shame & You Come Through

I love her videos, wish she would release a DVD of them, it would sell out, I know it.

So this thread is pretty self-explanatory. Lol!

But seriously Maria Mochnacz is a solid & gifted director who has managed to capture the essence of PJ's art like I'm sure no one else would. As always good art infuses talented videography.

So which would be your top 4 fave PJ videos? Why or why not?

Hrm...can't seem to vote on my own poll.....?

Keep getting this:

I'm looking into it, no luck so far. Sorry.

Oh hey that's quite alright!

It's nobody's fault these things just happen it's kinda weird lol.

Thanks again for all your help


cheers

It's related to the last upgrade in forum software and the forum style, I can vote just fine after I changed the style. I didn't vote the way I intended of course.

Oh wow, amazing that was fast! Well you still have 2 votes left since you can pick 4. Thanks a million.

Gah! I can't pick favorites! I like them all in different ways. By the way, whats the ballad of a soldiers wife from?

^ September Songs, The Music of Kurt Weill

Since I can't vote I'll post my faves:
Dress
Down By The Water
C'Mon Billy
Is That All There Is?

I also really like Elise & Man-Size. The Uh Huh Her and White Chalk videos were disappointing. Especially the latter era, the music creates insane imagery in your head and it was sadly accompanied by home-video-like clips. I guess it was a budget issue but that still doesn't fully excuse it.

Ok I'll post mine for me: My 4 are:

C'mon Billy
Down By The Water
A Perfect day elise
Who The Fuck

A Perfect Day Elise
The Piano
Black Hearted Love
Send His Love To Me

I voted for:

Down By The Water
Send His Love To Me
Is That All There Is?
This Is Love

But, well, there are so many to pick! I love A Perfect Day Elise with that creepy mood and Good Fortune always makes me happy.
The White Chalk era's videos disappointed me too, that album has such a particular feeling, it needed a stronger visual, even though The Piano is not so bad.

can't vote there so here are mine:
man size
c'mon billy
this is love
who the fuck

sad that ballad of the soldier's wife isn't on there, i love love love that video. it's hard picking these

man-size
c'mon billy
dress
this is love

has anyone noticed that at the end of the black hearted love video pj does a wet hair flip like the rid of me cover? not sure if i'm just reading into it, but it looks like a rid of me homage...

saw it, but didn't think anything of it but it totally does look like that! that'd be cool if it was an homage.
