Another night online. Tonight I'm watching PJ Harvey videos, among other things. She's been making music which has captivated me for 20 years now, I guess. She doesn't have anything close to a lame album, hardly even a weak song. There are very few artists making popular music who stand up to her in terms of longevity and quantity of quality. There are a few; I put her on the short list along with Dylan, Sonic Youth, maybe Neil Young, possibly Prince. I'm probably forgetting somebody, but there ain't many. She's one of the big ones, it is becoming more and more apparent these days. Her new album, Let England Shake, is fantastic. How many musicians are actively breaking new ground in their 40's? I could imagine her doing this for another 20 years. Her music is a serious pleasure for me, and I am one who has always taken my pleasures rather more seriously than maybe I ought to.
Hope all is well with everybody.
