PJ Harvey and me
PJ Harvey has a new CD out. The CD is called "white chalk". There is
no guitar or drums on this new record, she mostly just plays the
piano. It is very different from her normal guitar based man hating
output. I was frankly stunned by the new sound, although that might
have been due to the cans of the 8% Tesco lager. There are some really
haunting tunes on this record.
PJ looks like some Victorian governess on the photo
for the CD. She doesn't look like the cool governess,
who reads French novels, but more like a governess
in a Henry James novel.
I was going to say that secretly that I loved PJ Harvey,
but I doubt that it much of a secret. Most men of my
age love PJ. Somehow she is beyond style and cool.
If I did go up and try and talk to her, I would end
up rambling about extra DVD features and pyramids as I
do around pretty women. Then the air would get hazy
and I would lose sight of PJ as semi-transparent pictures
of Picasso would dismiss me from her presence in a cool and
educational way.
