PJ Harvey, Let England Shake

We know there is more to life than the music of the Bunnymen. Talk about those other bands here.

An article I had to skim through or else I would have been sick. Total wankfest (if girls can be included in the term):

Maybe she'd prefer a redhead this time. Saw this on Ebay, I have no recollection of this one, mid '80's?

'fraid I'd have to agree. They're immature-sounding and self-conscious and I hate when people prolong a syllable in order to make it fit a bar or music so that it sounds lazy. I think the vocals are too screechy.
Every word is like an unnecessary stain on silence and nothingness.

This is not talent, not avant garde, not trendy.....this is what psychiatric institutions are made of. (Not to make fun of her previous bouts with depression or whatever).

:12 to :21 in primarily but the whole video if you can bear it.
