Re: "The Hollow of the Hand" shows (ALL about both nights)
Cannot honestly say I am enjoying Polly's political poetry phase or these collaborations with Seamus Murphy. (Bring back Maria Mochnacz, please!) Looking forward to the album nonetheless.
Re: "The Hollow of the Hand" shows (ALL about both nights)
I don't think Maria would be the best photographer for the subjects she's wriitng about now. Even if I don't like this or any of her future albums, I'm glad she's trying something new again. If you look at most artists, they have a few good years, and then they are always trying to recreate that period of success so they start to stink.
And imo, she's only had one misstep so far- uh huh her. How many, to be honest, awful albums has Dylan released! How many meh albums have the stones released. So far, I trust what she is doing.

Good news:
The only question would be - WHEN? IN SPRING?

Please no!!! I need something to hold me until spring. I'm praying it's not too far away. Still crying that the album wony be released until spring, I was really hoping January. Hopefully spring means March.

2 more "videos" from yesterday: https://instagram.com/p/8pzmEYMplW/ and https://instagram.com/p/8p3R0sMpqN/.
Let's be realistic: if they played an album in its entirety, that would be a very strange move to broadcast the live version well ahead of release date. Those greedy record labels!!Kujjj wrote:I'm praying it's not too far away.
Re: "The Hollow of the Hand" shows (ALL about both nights)
Well I loved the new material, especially "The Ministry of Social Affairs" and "River Anacostia".
I also was not so keen on the memorial Lincoln one and can't really remember "The Orange Monkey" that well but there's often one or two tracks on Polly's album I'm not overly enamoured with. The rest were great and it'll be interesting to hear the full versions with all the instruments. Everyone around me seemed to love the new material and they got a standing ovation at the end.
Roll on Spring!

The first song is ministry of social affairs, can you make out the second? I really like all the songs so far, and they'll be even better with all the instrumentation and stuff.Kuk91 wrote:2 more "videos" from yesterday: https://instagram.com/p/8pzmEYMplW/ and https://instagram.com/p/8p3R0sMpqN/.

The clips are better than nothing at least, but still. I'd love to hear at least one full song.

Here are my snapshots (from the wonderful birthday evening).

And there were so many tracks recorded. Even if the Vietnam song is supposed to be in the album now, they may replace it. How would you describe the overall feel of the songs?

WTF? Why are these images shown at 100% on this forum?

Lol, I saw your Twitter pictures. What were your favorite songs?error wrote:Here are my snapshots (from the wonderful birthday evening).
Re: "The Hollow of the Hand" shows (ALL about both nights)
Don't know yet. Can't connect the songs I heard to all those song titles. I guess I liked the Afghanistan songs the best.Kujjj wrote:What were your favorite songs?

I really love her look, so stylish. Do you know if she did the same songs both nights?Kuk91 wrote:From second night:

I think somme answered your question above.
