[For some reason the YouTube embedding isn't working right now, so I'll just link to videos and hope you click.]I've had a very private relationship to PJ Harvey's music for the past few years.

I love this song so much. The best parts of Life are made up of moments like the ones she is singing about. You know, the conversations that you have late, late at night with somebody special, be it a friend or significant other ...and one phrase or one compliment or one piece of advice sticks with you.I have an entire 'file' in my mind of the amazing things that the amazing people in my life h...

"We lean against railings describing the colors and the smells of our homelands acting like lovers How did we get here to this point of living I held my breath you said something"Have you ever noticed the immense power of words? How something can be said, even a few syllables, in person, in a letter, typed, written, whispered, bled, and everything can just change. Or, everything can stay the sa...

In a shameless attempt to regain credibility after posting that horrendous Dane Cook song...i will share the latest from PJ Harvery, from her soon to be released 'White Chalk'....from the mood of this record, I am guessing the album title is referring to those chalk outlines of bodies you see at crime scenes...pretty dark, even by Polly Jean's standards.

Get Shot and RotPerpetrated by Mog Agent Joxley I must say I was suspicious of that city slicker wandering around my fields in his tux but soon lost interest as I bent down to examine my crops. My cauliflower had been infested with a particularly bad case of cabbage maggot and I fully intended to cure them of this particular pestilence. The sun hung low in the sky, the last heat of the day ...

"And in my thinking Steal you away Though you never wanted me Anyway..."Sometimes silence is golden or maybe it just silence in the guise of an incredible song by the siren Polly Jean Harvey. Awaiting her new album with John Parish I am in full Polly Jean mode. She's someone I so admire. She's uncompromising, brave, strong, sexy, intelligent, soft spoken and most of all she's made choices in her

The lead single and opening track on A Woman A Man Walked By is 'Black Hearted Love'. It's as musically straightforward as advance reviews had led me to believe, but when you consider the PJ Harvey discography it is inevitably going to be judged against, John Parish has done well here.

Yikes! This song will scare the beejeezus out of you, if the picture doesn't. Harvey is prolific. But I lost interest after a while, I suppose because of my own expectations. This album is so powerful and creepy. But with each album, her tone changes so much and I was looking for the same old thing. My bad. Life goes on. Although you wouldn't think so by the time this song's over. You'...
