Chris has been deliberating on which PJ Harvey to pick since before this whole podcast even started. It was a choice so difficult, that he’s had to call in back up in friend of the pod, and resident PJ Harvey expert, Vicki. Weaver couldn’t join us in full this week due to a myriad of technical issues (seriously, we tried for like half an hour to find a work around), which further proves we’ve yet to come up with a foolproof remote recording method that takes into account women who make tarot cards, phones without headphone jacks, and decent quality mics. We are, however, closer than ever to creating the perfect remote episode. Promise. This week, Vicki picks PJ Harvey’s fourth album Is This Desire? for your consideration. This episode turned into an absolute whopper, so we’ve broken it down into two delightfully bitesized(ish) chunks. We cover the history of PJ Harvey and a bunch of her albums to boot. Voting comes next week. Hopefully you’ll think we’ve made a good case. We’ve also compiled a wee PJ Harvey playlist, which is pretty great if you’re unfamiliar with her work.
