I was disappointed that she only went to NYC and LA. PJ's live show is something you must see if you're a fan.

I've been listening to White Chalk and The Peel Sessions a lot, and her duet with Nick cave "Henry Lee" is basically been on permanent rotation for a week now. I wish I had the cash to see her in concert!

I'm still listening to "White Chalk" pretty regularly, that album still completely blows me away. I'm still really sad and disappointed that more of us didn't get to see "White Chalk" live. It's really a shame, certainly not Polly Jean's fault.

I read in an interview that PJ said it was easier to sing in the higher register on "White Chalk" instead of her "PJ Harvey voice."

kichi member Joined: 05/03/08 Location: Shanghai Posts: 118	I saw some interview with her when I was 12 years old, and she called herself "rock bitch from hell" or something like that. For some reason, I thought that was extremely cool at the time and decided to go by that nick myself... hahaha. Anyway, she's definitely a great musician! I love her style. Haven't listened to White Chalk that much, can any of you recommend a few songs off of that album?

beavette member Joined: 11/27/07 Location: the midwest Posts: 46	It's a concept album that's relatively short (I think it's only around 32 minutes long), so I recommend listening to the whole thing. But if you want a sense of the overall vibe of the album: * When Under Ether * Broken Harp * Dear Darkness Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 08/27/2008 03:43PM by beavette.

beavette member Joined: 11/27/07 Location: the midwest Posts: 46	To be fair, PJ's videos were in fairly regular rotation on MTV's "Alternative Nation" and "120 Minutes" back in the 90s. "Dry" was released in 1992, "Rid of Me" was released in 1993, "To Bring You My Love" was released in 1995. The only place you heard music like PJ Harvey's was on MTV's "120 Minutes" and "Alternative Nation." Or in clubs or by word-of-mouth. Just like every other "alternative" act out there. HERE is a playlist archive from "120 Minutes." Note that they were playing "Sheela Na Gig," "Dress," "Man Size," etc.

Out of my favorite female artists (Bjork, Tori Amos, Shirley Manson, Karen O, and of course PJ) I feel she's the one with the most depth. Love her!

knowens member 26 yrs on my way to hell Joined: 09/03/08 Location: Roanoke VA Posts: 74	PJ fucking rocks. I remember "Down By the Water" as the single that hit in DC radio. I ran out and bought that album and have been hooked ever since. She definitely doesn't get enough recognition in the US which is sad b/c we need more music like hers out in the mainstream. I still get offended when people don't know who she is.

I did catch her in LA performing in support of 'White Chalk' and again in LA when she toured for 'Stories...' that show was one of the best shows of my life. Her live show is life altering. She is a deity I swear.

PJ's live show is something you must see if you're a fan. I haven't seen her live yet, but have all her albums and have just discovered White Chalk... I haven't been able to stop playing it for the past week. She is definitely one of my most Favorite artists... Dare I say #1 or close to #1 favorite. Ever since Down By The Water and This is Love I haven't been able to ignore her, not that I would want to, but when I'm thinking of looking for new music or something familiar to fit my emotion at the time, she is someone I am always looking to.

Deardeadfriend member Joined: 08/15/08 Location: Vienna Posts: 150	PJ's voice is awesome and I like her a lot but she is not that an amazing musician like her ~~annoying!!!~~ hardcore fan love to say. Her songs are for the greater part very simply constructed - the interesting voice, raw lyrics and yeah, the attractive appearance save the overall impression. "To bring you my love" is my favourite album so far. Long snake MOAN! Edited 2 time(s). Last edit at 12/23/2008 05:36PM by Deardeadfriend.

I really like Dance Hall at Louse Point. Songs like Taut and Civil War Correspondent are my favorites.
