9/5/2019 Pj Harvey B Sides Zip Programs
Dry (demo) Should have been on the album Dry, I think it's on one of the singles Dress or Sheela-na-Gig. Btw, it makes absolutely no sense to put the title track of an album as a b-side on a single instead of on the album itself, and then put a studio version on another album and to make it all the more confusing release it as a tour promo for that next album.
Apr 19, 2018 - Pj Harvey B Sides Zip Programs Discrimination Attorney Blog Wrongful Termination Info. The backbreaking work of the construction world isnt.
Sweeter than Anything This is the perfect b-side, it has that typical Is this desire? Vibe to it, and to me it seems like a lyrical highlight in PJ's writing career. It has greatly crafted sentences like 'In photographs I've seen him laugh' and 'We were never more than a dream Brief as summer or spring' Should have been on the album in my opinion, but maybe it was written and / or recorded later. Featherhead, Ballad of the Soldiers Wife, When Will I see you Again?, Zaz turned Blue all projects that are way off the mainstream chart but all with PJ's vocals INSANELY beautiful. Why'd ya go to Cleveland? A John-PJ leftover, and a good one at that; can't really explain how it has a certain Dry-vibe to it, probably because of the young love theme and simple instrumentation that takes it back in time. Though it (fortunately) retains the hysterical insanity of Dance Hall towards the end.

The Bay A song of which we know that it was deliberately left off Is this desire? It wouldn't have fit because of it's total awesomeness. Listen closely and you'll discover a 3/4 waltz beat. 66 Promises, Memphis, As Close As This, 30 Stories from the City is incomplete without them for me.
Bows and Arrows Didn't like it at first, but now it's one of my favorite b-sides. It has a dirty brilliance that is hard to describe in words, you just have to experience this one. The Falling (!) This is without a doubt one of the greatest songs released in the Uh huh her era. The dirty brilliance of Bows and Arrows times ten.
The Phone Song I've always regarded this one as a companion to Cat on the Wall, there is a link through the telephone theme. Reeling Love it, especially the studio version. The line 'Have Robert DeNiro sit on my face' is classic.
I was hoping there'd be a thread like this, i love all of the album threads we've been doing in this forum. I'm not nearly as familiar with her b-sides though i think i do have most but definitely not all of them - at some point i downloaded a big set someone put together that seems to cover a lot of them.
My favorites of the ones i know well are: 66 Promises One Time Too Many Nina In Ecstacy Reeling (if that counts as a b-side) Liverpool Tide Uh Huh Her does anyone know if there's a complete list anywhere of all her b-sides? I guess particularly the ones with official recordings to start. I'm pretty sure the main ones i'm missing are: This Wicked Tongue (studio version) Heaven Wait Dance 97 Degrees. They're all great, really, but these are my favorites: Bows & Arrows: Perhaps a track that was 'too P J Harvey?' And was left off of Uh Huh Her. It's infectious and chugging and (mostly) acoustic deliciousness.
A kind of harder edged 'Pocket Knife.' 97 Degrees: It took me a while to appreciate this one, but the thick guitar combined with Peej's eerily jaunty vocal delivery is awesome. Maniac: I always include this one on my TBYML playlists/re-edit.
It has everything one can love about TBYML (the monstrous vocals, fuzzy bass groove, whistle/mariachi freakout and twisted vocals) all wrapped up in one maniacal package. Liverpool Tide: A really simple song of just Peej and an amped-out electric guitar. It's arresting and really underrated.

Kick It to the Ground: Quite unlike any other PJ song. Like someone recited their poetry at a high school talent show is what I always think of.
It's unabashedly juvenile and has some real venom. The Faster the Breathe, the Further I Go: Not really sure what era this is from (I'm thinking right after Is This Desire?), but it's always been one of my favorites. I love the distorted voice at the beginning that sounds like it's saying 'holy. Great lyrics and thump.
Instrumental #2: I love that there's a faint drum beat and Polly's singing something in the background, but you can't really make it out. Creepy and intriguing. The Faster the Breathe, the Further I Go: Not really sure what era this is from (I'm thinking right after Is This Desire?), but it's always been one of my favorites. I love the distorted voice at the beginning that sounds like it's saying 'holy.
Great lyrics and thump.yup, it's Is This Desire?-era.it was a b-side to The Wind. People probably already know about this but this site has a list of all the singles with their b-sides as well a full song list in the lyrics section, which i've been using to hunt down b-sides.
Sheela-Na-Gig 03. Rid of Me 04. 50ft Queenie 05. Down By The Water 07. C'mon Billy 08.
Send His Love To Me 09. A Perfect Day Elise 11. The Sky Lit Up 12. Good Fortune 13.
A Place Called Home 14. The Letter 15. The Words That Maketh Murder 17. The Glorious Land 18. On Battleship Hill This is off the top of my head, I'm sure more better tracks should be included but it's difficult.
I think I just used most of the singles with a couple of non-single tracks. I know others here would choose a better collection than that. I'd like to use this picture I think. I would guess Polly would be the type of artist that if forced to release a GH would probably select her favorite songs irrespective of single status. So I'm going to do it that way: 1.
To Bring You My Love 2. The Words That Maketh Murder 6. C'mon Billy 8.
My Beautiful Leah 9. Down By The Water 12. The Last Living Rose 13. White Chalk 14.
Written on the Forehead 15. Is This Desire? The Desperate Kingdom of Love 18. I think the main issue, in this case, would be how to create a homogeneous sound. I mean, every record has a totally different mixing, and the first two are expecially low-fi and row. I tried myself to make an all comprehensive mixtape, but it's really hard to. By the way, my attempt (imagining a remastering of the whole thing): Hell and High Water - A Retrospective 1.rid of me 2.meet ze monsta 3.dress 4.shame 5.a perfect day elise 6.the last living rose 7.white chalk 8.the garden 9.oh my lover 10.the dancer 11.the devil 12.words that maketh murder 13.angelene 14.down by the water 15.on battleship hill 16.a place called home 17.big exit 18.to bring you my love.
20 tracks, volume adjusted. Good Fortune 2. C'mon Billy 3. 50ft Queenie 5.
Down By The Water 6. A Perfect Day Elise 7.
When Under Ether 9. A Place Called Home 11. Sheela-Na-Gig 13.
The Glorious Land 14. That Was My Veil (with John Parish) 15. Black Hearted Love (with John Parish) 16. The Words That Maketh Murder 17. To Bring You My Love 19.
Rid Of Me If you want an 18-track version, just cut the Parish tracks. I'd rather not though, as those are great songs. I could go on at length about why I chose what I did and the track order, but I won't. ^that's pretty cool, 50ft Queenie into Down By the Water is glorious and I love how TBYML rises from the ashes of Silence. I'll just choose my two favorite per album. I Live and Die 01.
To Bring You My Love 02. Good Fortune 03. Electric Light 06. Pocket Knife 07. Working for the Man 08. Sheela Na Gig 09. Happy & Bleeding 11.
A Place Called Home 12. Dear Darkness 14. Henry Lee (w/ Nick Cave) 15. The Words that Maketh Murder 16. The Mountain 17.
Is This Desire? The Desperate Kingdom of Love. And I love how TBYML rises from the ashes of Silence.I know, that's my favorite. She played that segue live and I decided I must use it.
I think DBTW all the way through Glorious Land is a real emotional thrill ride too. Your mix is really interesting, I like Me Jane through Pocket Knife, and I was definitely considering Desperate Kingdom for mine but I didn't have the space for it. If an album like this ever comes along, I'm almost positive PJ would use Desperate Kingdom and/or Shame to represent Uh Huh Her as she seems to be really proud of those.
Apparently she hates The Letter. PJ Harvey Greatest Hits 01.
50ft Queenie 03. Down By the Water 04. Henry Lee (with Nick Cave) 05.
My Naked Cousin 06. That Was My Veil (with John Parish) 07. A Perfect Day Elise 08. A Place Called Home 09.
