The Garden, a PJ Harvey Discussion Site

#1 on Goddeau (Belgian online musiczine)

http://www.goddeau.com/content/view/9963

LES is also #1 in Humo (Belgian TV magazine, but one with a big reputaton music-wise)

To give you an idea, their top 5:
1. PJ
2. Josh T Pearson - Last of the Country Gentlemen
3. James Blake - James Blake
4. Shabazz Palace - Black Up
5. The Horros - Skying

I hate it when artists do this.
First release an album and a few months later release it again with some bonus. Thus obliging the fans the buy it twice.
Why can't they sell the deluxe edition immediately... do they really need the money so badly? No wonder illegal downloading is big..

Not suprising if you know that you could buy up to 15 tickets together... Why not limit it to 2 or 4 per person?

After some problems with the presale, I managed to get my ticket for the Stockholm concert just now

PJ concert + a little citytrip to Stockholm (my first time there, but the city is on my 'want to visit' list for a long time already)

What about the Stockholm presale?
Who knows where to get password????
I think you just need to create a "My Live Nation"-account and through your account you can then access the presales:

Indeed, this I found on livenation.se (via google-translate):

Live Nation offers its members the ...

First:

Marc Ribot - Silent Movies

now:

Sonic Youth - Simon Werner a Disparu

all I need is for her to announce at least one more show in Italy within a couple of days before or after the Ferrara gig, then it will be worth my while to make the journey. now she's already booked for that festival in Arras on July 3rd, which leaves two days between that show and the one in ...

I'm a bit disappointed by the new Radiohead album...

Good news for our Italian friends, a rather suprising location though, no?

I wonder if she'll tour some more in autumn. I 'd love to see her again in a few months (I know, should have bought a ticket for Amsterdam as well), but I'm not too keen on the festival gigs.
Maybe All Tomorrow's Parties ...

Today, apart from Let England Shake

Portishead - Dummy
John Coltrane - Lush Life
The Dead Weather - Horehound
Charles Caldwell - Remember Me

Three more songs compared to night one.
I think she must have taken the criticism I heard after the friday gig (too short, only one song in the encore) into account...

Though I think 'Big Exit' doesn't really suit the other songs...

The Brussels 18/02 setlist (not in order, because I didn't write it down):

All the LES songs + The Big Guns
Older songs: The Devil, The River, C'M Billy, Angelene, Down By The River
Only one encore: Silence

Great concert, but maybe a bit too short...

PJ played 'The Last Living Rose' yesterday on Belgian late evening talk show 'De Laatste Show'
