Not sure if this has been posted.

Thanks to someone - nueve08 - on youtube comments for this:

Michael Stipe: "PJ Harvey is one of those musicians you can't match no matter what you do... she's unique"

[Skinned]

I started listening to her after "I Fold" was featured on "The Big C", now I like her even more.

OH! I love I Fold so much. And The Big C as well! Sorry for the off topic.

She's done one of the best covers of Rid Of Me.... And never fails to pay tribute to PJ!

[RedGretsch]

Portishead's Geoff Barrow on Twitter (about LES):

"Yes Polly Harvey !!! Proper record!!! Thank you."

he seems to hate pretty much everything and everybody in the charts nowadays so must be a real compliment coming from him But I guess he's always been a fan of PJ.

[Glitter & Doom]

The glorious Neko Case tweeted this earlier this evening:

Lovin the new PJ Harvey. She sounds like she's home. Everywhere. Very inspiring.

Cold War Kids (matt maust): "I can't wait to watch PJ Harvey and Kanye West . . . Arcade Fire, definitely; the National; and Sleigh Bells. I love PJ Harvey's new record, so I'm most excited about that." (on who he's looking forward to seeing at Coachella)

Billy Bragg: "Let England Shake" is brilliant(how right he is!)

Also, Henry Rollins has been playing tracks from the album quite regularly on his KCRW show. So far he has played the title track twice, written on the forehead and bitter branches.

Well done, Polly_Jean_Cave. I wish I could quote him word for word but he definitely called the album brilliant.

And here's Billy on Henry Rollins' show!

Boy George commented on Twitter a few days ago that he thought "PJ Harvey is a genious" and that her new songs were great" (in response to the jools program)

Also,

Marianne Faithfull had this to say in a recent interview: " Which living person do you most admire, and why?
:Right now, PJ Harvey.
