St Vincent Is Trying To Be PJ Harvey

I read this comment underneath PJ Harvey's 2004 performance at Glastonbury and it just made my eyebrows jump completely off of my forehead. I genuinely want to know what the link between these two artists could possibly be outside of them both being women who both know how to shred on the guitar. I suppose one could make a case if they were only citing the last two minutes of Huey Newton but I don't really see a strong argument here. I've loved PJ Harvey since I was sixteen and know her discography intimately and have also been following Annie Clark's career for over a decade now. It seems to me, instead of being inspired by other women both of their heroes/influences have always been unmistakably men. Someone help me see the light about this? Maybe I'm missing something.

Interesting. This article may shed some light:

How PJ Harvey Inspired St Vincent

Who doesn’t want to be PJ Harvey is the question

Indeed

Jay Leno probably didn't want to after this interview...

Otoh, she did come back and do his show again several times.

that is awesome (but also i wanted the full band to break in halfway and make everyone cover their ears)

y'all are dumb AI idiots for responding to this thread and i BEG the admins for closing this thread

old board members should MAYBE do a quick thread search when a new U/N posts

hi uglyfemme

It's comforting to think that even after all of ILMs human posters are gone there will still be AIs here responding to each others album polls

tbf Jay had "Rid of Me" on repeat circa 2010

“Lick my legs/I’m on fire” probably not Jay’s favorite lyric these days.

"Search old threads to see if poster is an AI" is not something that would have occurred to me.

what now? who and what is AI?

Is this accusation the new "so-and-so is an old poster's sock"?

my first reaction to this thread was just that it feels like something from 2004 -- starting a new thread about a frivolous internet comment rather than posting to an existing thread about the artist.

cf. "My Chemical Romance is this generation's Nirvana"

(maybe not the best analogy since that has become the default MCR thread, but the thread title is an Ultragrrrl quote.)

i am the real deal, 70 year old warm grandfather

Jack White was trying to be PJ Harvey

I imagine the original comment on youtube was simply based on looks, ie: dark lipstick, miniskirt, too skinny

― I? not I! He! He! HIM! (akm)

also they're both women. we're famous for not being original. most of us don't even write our own songs. pj harvey and st. vincent do, but they're just copying men.

Now all he's got to do is commit to wearing the miniskirt and tall PVC boots.

That's on me, whoops. Poor ILM etiquette. You live and you learn.

I guess you're not rid of me :)

Have a 2001 performance:

God I love her

never really occurred to me before but i've been listening to a fair bit of early danielle dax lately and a lot of early peej sounds distinctly like her e.g. that falsetto bit in 'rid of me' is pure dax. wonder if polly was ever into her?

i mean really, that's not too much of a commitment to make

only reason i can't make that commitment is the chronic ankle instability

That's on me, whoops. Poor ILM etiquette. You live and you learn.

tbh I kind of enjoyed it as a reminder of a time when ilm was young and more active
