Not really, its a known issue with the site that the quote thing is fucked. I tried posting a while back and quoted by accident, couldn't get rid of it. Laptop fucked so only way to get rid of it so i can post on my phone is to post it. Soz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing listed at the moment, but there's still 4 months to go, so who knows? Fingers crossed! Yeah until they arent there we still have hope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much as I'm sure Mrs scruff would welcome a chance to part exchange me i wasn't really offering her to the yeti. She may want rid of me but she ain't that desperate yet. I hate it when that happens.

mr gumby Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 Are you a PJ Harvey fan, thurlow? Any suggestions where I should start? I've only knowingly heard the songs she did with Nick Cave. I was put off listening to her by a friend of mine who was part of her touring band years back. He said she was a right pain in the arse to work with. Willing to give her a listen, though, if you can give me some tips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't argue with the musical expertise on it but for me it's missing something that I can't put my finger on. 10 minutes ago, thurlow84 said: Yeah its different but not in a bad way Thanks, guys.

Have to admit I'm a bit put off by her voice, which reminds me of Chrissie Hynde, who I've never liked. Musically and lyrically interesting, enough to make me carry on listening, but I think I'm unlikely to be convinced. Open mind, though!

I've now listened to a few tracks each from the other albums mentioned, and I just can't get past the nasal quality in her voice. Oh well, it was worth a try!

Thought there'd be crossover with your cave/eels fandom. Don't even know why that's logical but in my head it is. Mick Harvey is all over stories from the city with his bass and production. Yeah, like I said, musically interesting, but the voice puts me off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucyginger Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 Alright chaps!! From my desk I can see blue sky, a bit of wispy cloud, and a plane just flew over. Lovely! Yesterday I had a small puddle in my car though, so you know, swings and roundabouts!! I hope the lovely weather gods are practicing the sunshine for the fest! It's so nice!

Afternoon Splodge long time no hear, good to hear from ya mate With you on PJ Harvey mate you hit the nail on the head with that, i think that's why i cant fully get into her, don`t get me wrong i do like her and listen quiet often but its the Chrissie Hynde voice i cant get my head around. Same here today Lucy the ninja its bloody lovely out today and get the feeling its just a practice for end of June Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
