PJ Harvey - Maniac

[SHELLHEAD1961]

WOW!!! her music sounds.....GGRRRREEEAAAAATTTT!­!!!!!

[udawomangidamachine]

Pj Harvey to me is like..............#1 at every thing. i love her music i love her style i love every thing about her. Pj Harvey has made me the person i am today. I love female musicians and when you find that one that is 100% real and its some thing you just feel...thats Pj Harvey for me. I think shes beautiful! I wish she was my Pj Harvey because there isnt any one like her.

[Freesia84]

I think she is beautiful.

[andrewlewis963]

is it really about poking holes?

[pongue]

I LOVE IT!

[JanuaryG1rl]

All i've ever seen in PJ is a Beauty Queen. Coming here seeing some of these nasty remarks was pretty shocking to say the least. Whatever makes you feel better about your small penis.

[insight1337]

my god, this woman can be so different!

I've been at her last concert, it;s absolutely something different compared to all the youtube vids and photos.. Change after change..

[lasiadesh]

I have always found her face beautiful unconventionally, which I guess could be replaced with words like 'oddly', 'interestingly', 'strangely'; some kind of original beauty aesthetic which transcends itself physically into the other elements of a person/persona that we call things like, erm, charisma, aura, personality, sensuality, intellect, passion, vision, talent etc. My favourite type of beauty for men and women. I love, love, love her; and would love to have an ounce of her musical talent!

[YayyForYaoi]

...I don't think she's going to get any men at all.

Probably because she's a lesbian. Nice going folks!

[Hell, if she wanted a man she'd get one. or two... or three.] (':

[m06een00]

@YayyForYaoi And how do you know she hasn't got a bloke?

[Clarelovesangels]

she is absolutely beautiful both body and soul x

[william1ter2burgh]

Another powerful song by PJ...awesome energy, I love it!

[fubar50cat]

ok, hot, I agree, I would definitelly'.................w­ell, you figure it out, and make it poetic

[trent69marc]

how can someone think a person like polly isn´t interessting just because her interviews are boring ? read her lyrics , watch her career , see her performance ...

i think that boring question is answered !!!

[vikingdude69]

thank you zz..........wonderfull collektion.....she is the greatest ever....you tell the world she is! greatings from norway the viking

[sirlordmongus]

Strongggggg

[michaeldeath1111]

WHAT?!?!!? She's SO hot!!!

[cmaster0007]

Maybe sounds a bit too much like "Down by the Water" but I still like.

[cmaster0007]

i'd fuck her

[nickthelick]

To me she's the sexiest woman alive... I so badly ache for her! My last girlfriend looked quite a bit like her (which was a bonus for me!)...

[mokkshaa]

One of my favorite PJ B-sides ever! But my favorite is still Claudine, My Inflatable One.

[2012milkman]

Is it a dude or a girl O_O looks a lil of both to me

[Cyrus2182]

First time I've ever heard this track, it's bloody good! By the way I agree that she's not classically beautiful, but after watching the 'This is Love' video I'd definately do her, given the chance. The fact that she comes accross as boring in interviews I actually find quite endearing, means she's approachable. And she's not Amy Winehouse skinny anymore either , thank goodness!

[ZZqezza]

@montecarlostar She is no beauty queen but somehow I am pretty sure that she's got no problems with getting a man:-)

[montecarlostar]

@ZZqezza I am sure she does. Remember Janis Joplin? Very talented and all but no one would do her without a substancial amount of money

[ZZqezza]

@montecarlostar Janis had an affair with Jimi Hendrix and Jim Morrison and I doubt that her money were crucial in this case. And I don't know much about PJ's relationships but I know that she dated Nick Cave and their break-up (she was the one who quited it) was an inspiration for the album The Boatman's Call. So I would say that charisma and personality are more important than having a fat bank account and pretty face.

[montecarlostar]

@ZZqezza does PJ have charisma and personality? I agree on that about Janis. But PJ??? I heard she doesn't like to go out or talk much. In her interviews she seems like a pretty boring person to me.

[ZZqezza]

@montecarlostar Yeah, Polly's interviews are terribly boring I agree with you on that ... But considering her music, lyrics and her stage persona - I believe that there's must be something about her.

[louiecostello]

@ZZqezza she's not boring she's level headed and makes sensible contributions on the topic of her music. the feeling you get from her interviews is that she's sick to death of stereotypes. also, im sure montecarlostar has no problems at all getting sexual partners. none. at. all.

[dniez1]

@montecarlostar Hahaha, she seems an intelligent woman 'with some issues'. A great artist,

[dniez1]

@montecarlostar Hahaha, she seems an intelligent woman 'with some issues'. A great artist, Like the Bjorks, Tracy Bonhams and Tori Amosses

[johnboy326]

@montecarlostar u do not know wot u r talking about!!

[pistraurder]

@montecarlostar she's a very private person. what you see in interviews probably isn't what she is like around her friends, family or lovers. what ridiculous comments in any case. and I think flea and anthony keides made some comment having to do with doing something extreme just to get ms. harvey to date them. you're completely wrong here. and she's actually really beautiful.

[katoblue]

@pistraurder Exactly - she's famous for letting her art speak for itself. How could a boring person make such passionate music?! Polly is a brilliant musician, and she's all the better for not being stereotypically beautiful.

[pistraurder]

@katoblue yeah. people like this montecarlostar are probably the reason she had a bit of nervous breakdown in the early 90s and had to retreat to the countryside. thank god montecarlostar wasn't able to harass her there or we might not have had the 7 or so masterpiece albums she's released since.

[poeticjournalism]

@montecarlostar your comments are a bit superficial and judgmental. why should she not be allowed to feel the way she feels because she doesn't look a certain way?

[nihilisticviolet]

@montecarlostar I hear the reason most of the artists need to shake their asses and tits on videos and talk about getting it on is because cheap entertainment sells,.. You expect artists to entertain you on their interviews? make jokes? entertain you with their private lives? talk shit about other people? talk about controversial stuff? You like cheap entertainment because your brain is as capable of abstraction and empathy as an 8 year old's brain. Go watch soap operas, they suit you best.

[zarni000]

@montecarlostar

she is just polite and has intellect as opposed to most of the posers that are celebrities these days and would say anything to get the headlines.

her music is more than enough for me.

[sporbudah]

@ZZqezza janis joplin did not have an affair with jim morrison, morrsion never would have and never did touch janis joplin

[PastitsiosGR]

@ZZqezza I would fuck PJ Harvey any day of the week

[Gravegirl28]

@ZZqezza the way it shoud be :)

[paislydaisy]

@ZZqezza she's beauty queen enough to get nick cave...and dump em....

[darlingbethere]

@montecarlostar Why is "getting a man" so important? I don't think she has to base her life around "getting a man", she can be however she wants to be. Oh, and being soft-spoken does not mean she's boring. You can't deduce from a few interviews that she's a boring person.

[KissyouMissyouxxx]

@montecarlostar ....What a complete and utterly ridiculous shallow view of what REAL ! beaut'y is in a woman.

You will never know what you miss..........

Jane.

[wrathallll]

@montecarlostar lol, u obviously a FAT FUCKING BITCH.

.

PJ is hot stuff

[EtcEtcAndEtc]

@montecarlostar Um, listen to her voice. Anyone who sings like that has fire inside. her new album shows what a sensitive woman she is. "Montecarlostar" is clearly an idiot, I wouldn't do him the favor of calling him a troll. Idiot will do just fine.

PJ is hot as hell, and a great artist and human being.

[fumateunogrueso]

@montecarlostar fuck you!! harvey is hot

[TheKickasskatie]

@montecarlostar oh and im sure everyone uv ever gone out with was a supermodel of perfect weight (whatever that is). and tell me, does everyone of the opposite sex think ur the hottest thing out there? doubt it, but that doesnt mean alot of people wont find u OR HER attractive. and u can tell alot by the lyrics of someones songs, especially such an honest songwriter, and from her lyrics u can tell she is a passionate, intelligent, querky and anything but boring person. i'd say that's enough.

[Snackumms]

Why is she so ugly?

[HoneyBunny252]

@Snackumms from your point of view... i think she looks amazing, and with her personality and genius, even more...

[michaeldeath1111]

thank GAWd that there is this video to this song!!!

[enyafreak2007]

I would have loved to see her perform this song live.

[jb44421]

Hot song and vid/

[scottjhnsn]

i dunno about you all but it sounds like it may have been a little inspired by the incomparable siouxsie and budgie aka 'the creatures'...especially their wild things debut and their feast album. not bad at all,nevertheless. never heard this one before and many thanks for sharing all of these obscure gems with us ;)

[kalekipp]

okee, i love this song as all/most of her work.. but this is one of the best pictures collections as well! she's got a so narural beautyness around her!

[zeddblue]

i need a man too. ...

[dogathy]

youtube bobby stacks trust me

[bazzellmike]

All of you must be seeing and hearing something that I am not....

[TumbrelJockey]

She strikes me sometimes as more of an actress rather than just a musician or composer..The moods she constructs are personnas themselves - she assumes the shape that is necessary to tell the tale.Or have I really gone into the deep part of the lake by myself here?

[CoCoComet]

@TumbrelJockey

I totally agree with you. Listening to one of her songs is like reading an AMAZING novel or poem

[TumbrelJockey]

@CoCoComet There are some that scratch their head & wonder what it is all the adulation about.That is understandable. 16 years ago I found her quite unsettling.-now I can't imagine how I ever ignored her presence or obvious gifts.

[Bjoggie]

I do love PJ Harvey!... can you send me this song...

[gardenchicks]

She's a little scary, and I think I like it.... She is a bit intimidating, and I think I like it.... She's hard core, and I like it! Bad ass bitch!

[sinbin55671]

I need this song

[kanibaliikuq]

@Dawn554 ! true!

[bluepez57]

ZZqezza - great !!!

[kondrashina]

Female version of Dave Gahan's I feel you :)

[chemicalxeyes]

JFC this blows my mind.

[Blasphemer2]

no one has ever been, or will ever be, more BAD ASS than Polly Jean.

I remember hearing this for the first time...it was in my dad's studio/workshop (he has the best audio equip I've ever heard) and I literally collapsed to the floor at about the 1:00 mark.

[adzman1000]

Sumtims Eye Wiss Eye Cud Spel.

[JasmineDragons]

she is def singing to me today <3 ~ got 2 love that- let me dream people, let me dream

[knolselderij]

reminds me of depeche modes i feel you

[kondrashina]

+1 :)

[rodaransuscabezas]

"and kiss the devil on the mouth" and the photo with Nick hahaha

[mandys72]

@rodaransuscabezas I noticed that too, haha. That definitely stood out. look at the live version of henry lee.

[28g34ajbsd]

oh sweet baby jesus

[7flies4U]

thank YOU!!! the last picture is simply AMAZING yummmmmmmmm ;p

[ladyloveliness]

This is by far the best PJ era, she looked so cool!!

[Tate22]

I love PJ's use of contrast here. The song is very upbeat and could easily be turned into a catchy single. But, she chooses to throw us for a loop into a hell hole of primal craving. Bravo.

[anniebg197]

Discovered PJ in 1996 thanks to this song... I'm in love with her voice since.

[Tate22]

How in the hell did you discover this rare song over "Down by the Water" which was shown on MTV in heavy rotation?

[thawthepast]

cooler than beans

[maynardminion]

yep, not to mention, most talented, creative, and most beautiful voice on the planet, PJ just oozes sexuality.

amazing song!! thanks for sharing, and for posting all of these amazing rare B-sides so we can hear them, i hope to own these some day.

[rhba]

One of the sexiest, coolest women on the planet!

[shattercones]

All I can say is that She turns me on in so many ways!

[indieporn]

so powerful !!!

[pablodmdp]

1.24 hot

[XguitarrockerX]

one of my favourite songs! She is just so god damn amazing!

[prettysorryeyes]

woah. i am in love with her even more now.

[osliczka13]

Hi, would it be a problem for you to send me mp3 of Maniac? :) It's such a great song, unfortunately I can't find it anywhere :(

And thanks for uploading all those great b-sides :]

[joeperryforpope]

i agree, anyone know where i could buy these tracks, these are INSANE!

[pollyladolly]

I made lots of typing mistakes,in last comment, but the gist is- she is my muse. and her music is divinely emotive and beyond constraints.

[pollyladolly]

It is conformed, I am in love with her. The archetypal Joan of arc, the port laureate, classically trained goodly bad priestess of Devon. Intoxicating and real. Her music hits my soul.

[barcelona36]

Polly, no man alive deserves you.

[badmouthsadmouth]

This woman owns my life, I'm sorry.

[dottedpurple]

she's definitely raw

[super1114]

where did this come from?

she can do no wrong

[kikkiokioli]

it's from the 'To Bring You My Love' era. It has a very similar keyboard sound to 'Down by the Water'. Ended up as a b-side, probably because it didnt' really fit the overall vibe of that album (in fact, I think I recall reading that she said something to this effect).
