As i said a while ago, personally i've always interpreted The Garden as a quasi-biblical story about the Devil seducing a man (who could be meant to rapresent Humanity in its totality). I'm quite fond of your interpretation, but, again, unfortunately (or maybe fortunately?) PJ's is so cryptic that ...

James, thank you very much for doing an in-depth research on ITD. We have a serious book made by someone who actually cares about PJ's work at last! it was a truly interesting read, one can clearly see you really put some work into it.

If i had to point out a weaker point (which doesn't bring down ...

Hey Jimm, that's a wonderful painting, great job!

I've listened to it 7 or 8 times now... at first i've thought of it as a very solid piece with a fricking banger of a last minute; the more i listen to it, though, the more it grows on me, it's just good! The futuristic echoes at 0:23 gave me strong "Everything in its right place" by Radiohead vibes ...

I'm not into Astrophysics, but i reverse-searched the image and googled for a little bit to find out what we are actually looking at, unfortunately without any definitive answer; It could be a nebula (maybe the Rosette Nebula?), it does look like one; alternatively it could be a planet (Mars or ...

Hello everyone,

I just found out about the live tour of Dance Hall at Louse Point with Mark Bruce Dance Company , but cannot find any images of that... I already have collected some bootlegs (audio only) but cannot find footage nor photos...

Note : I'm relatively new to this forum, so sorry if ...

Well, the mistery has been solved then! It was really generous of Polly to give him basically total freedom over her own song. It would be great if the original version will be included in a new "b-sides,demos and rarities" album, wouldn't it?
Thank you for sharing.

Ok! I found and installed the logo, for this style anyway. I think we had a couple of different styles, these are independently created and then the admin has to install them. I don't remember all the ones we had, this default style is not the one I used. I'm looking at other styles, and I'd like ...

As stated by PJ's official Facebook account, yesterday was the 10th anniversary since the release of THSDP. I have a bit of mixed feelings about this album, 'cause it is for sure my least favourite PJ Harvey album... it simply wasn't a worthy successor to LES both musically and lyrically. Yet i don ...

It's a trend I've seen many major artists and songwriters have been going through over the past years. It is possible their contracts have expired and there's this collective tendency to leave major labels, which seem in fact more keen on promoting pop acts and less alternative artists/bands. Look ...

Dear Prof Ab,
off the top of my head i would suggest:
- contacting the staff of/ looking into PJ's gigs at Evershot Village Hall (Dorchester): https://evershotparishhall.org/band-on/hall-of-fame/ , which by the way features Polly's mother, Eva, as one of the band promoters over the years. Pj did a ...

thank you! that's surely an unexpected collab!

I’ve been listening to a lot of Eels recently and just clocked John Parish reconnected with Mr E for Eels’ “Extreme Witchcraft” album.

I’ve thought for ages Polly and Mr E could work well together - anyone know if they have, or have even just met?

And if you were suggesting new collaborations for ...

You do make a really good point on bots, i'm quite old-fashioned and i tend to forget the novelties of the 2020s internet; yet, it is normal for people visiting virtually every site to not make any comments or leave almost no trace of their passage: the majority of people can't be bothered to engage ...
