Always a Pleasure to listen to Polly :-)

I wonder if will see more of this little ProShot Clips - can't believe they only taped this little Snippets....

Thank you!

You mean the one with pink suit and her hair pulled back w/straight hair extension? Probably not. I've never seen any video of her in that setting w/ that particular clothing & hairstyle combination anywhere else. So I assume they probably shot some short video for that weeks concert, for the purpose of using it in this feature/interview. Just my best guess. I could be wrong. And it would be alright if you hope for that to be the case.

This woman is a fucking genius.

holy shit, her little speaking voice is such a surprise

@crankypete And all the tears Kim shed when losing test matches/ the australian captaincy

But seriously folks, PJ is fan-fookin-tastic - then and now. One can forget how accomplished and focussed she was at a younger age.

@danisanchez85 Just my opinion, but I think one of the reasons she is underrated or goes relatively unnoticed by the mainstream is because of what she mentioned in the interview; she doesn't write songs for the masses, she rights them for herself. When she was relatively popular in 90's, her songs were more in tune with the music that was popular at the time. As she grew, her music changed but it didn't change to what became mainstream. I would venture to say she probably doesnt care either.

@honoria her off-stage little girl voice is adorable. But when she sings songs like Rid of Me, she is fierce! But then she has that White Chalk album that is kind of shoegaze. Her range is so incredible. I LOVE YOU PJ

In the early years, PJ's artistry was so electrifying and dynamic that people weren't sure how to approach it and from a journalistic standpoint, probed her with "what made you this way" questioning. I don't think they were ready then to handle such a fearless artist doing what no one else at the time was. Her long career now shows her true artistry and that she had a bigger picture from the very beginning. She's a rock star, yes, but she's also a fantastic true visionary.

Where did it come from? GAWD what an ignorant question.

[poeticjournalism]

my idol. such a magnificent woman.

@danisanchez85 yeah man. people say Madonna is the Queen of Re-Invention, and while I do have respect for Madge, I look at someone like Polly, and it's pretty clear PJ deserves that title much, much more.

[danisanchez85]

sometimes i just can't stand bands like oasis and coldplay will be a relevant part of the music history in the future while pj harvey is so underrated. i mean, if you take a look at her songs, her discography and the way she acts and the way she constantly evolves as an artist... let's get serious, this woman belongs to all those legends club, david bowie, jim morrison... i'm afraid she's a bit like those painters that never sold a painting in their lifetime and now are considered geniuses.

[graceamiceli]

she wore that outfit at glastonbury

[crankypete]

wow Kim Hughes has aged well after all of those battles with the Windies...
