PJ Harvey - White Chalk - Page 2

You know, I've never really listened to PJ Harvey, minus some stuff with Nick Cave. I think I'll delve into it tonight.

which is a GREAT thing for acoustic and sound quality, but prices are quite high in the main halls, and I don't want to see her from a football field-like distance.... Branca in february will play in the "little hall" for 12 euros...

holy fuck! when she came here, she played in a former cinema!

looks nice but i don't like watching "rock" shows in these kind of places; branca should be cool.

That's a freakin 2700+ seats hall, the biggest of the 4 halls in the complex... Actually for a record as White chalk I think a much more intimate venue would be waaaay better...but you know, sadly, only one gig = big venue for all the fans coming over...
The hall for branca is around 650 seats methinks.

I saw mono in a (modern) cinema and that was great. Hardly "rock", btw, just a side note

I like this album OK, but it's never going to resonate with me like Dry, Rid Of Me or Uh Huh Her do. The whole piano-and-voice singer/songwriter thing has never really been my bag, but I will give it up to her for doing this, especially as she admits to being a little out of her comfort zone on piano.

Everyneurotic · 01.29.2008, 03:17 PM

that's why i said "rock" in quotations.

krastian · 01.29.2008, 04:12 PM

It's a really nice change of pace for her and I think it turned out pretty well.....I really like White Chalk. There are lots of classic "PJ misery moans" in there.....oh yes. All in all, she has never dissappointed me.

EMMAh · 01.29.2008, 06:17 PM

I love White Chalk. PJ is awesome.

phoenix · 01.29.2008, 06:23 PM

her show is sold out here, which makes me sad

havent heard this yet. I am a poor person atm.

dry is by far my fav album, then rid of me.

Everyneurotic · 01.30.2008, 12:11 AM

you know what? i don't understand all the love for rid of me; it's good but...i don't hear why it's so special.

I hate to say it, but this album was added to my store's playlist. Before I knew that, I heard it, and thought, "Good God, this is terrible".

Again, I'm sorry. It's just my opinion. I'm not a fan of her.

It won't be my favourite record of hers but it's still a very worthy addition to her amazing catalogue. A nice side-step. There's a few gems on there. "When under ether" really captures the harrowing experience of abortion. And "Grow" is delightful.
