I’ve been discovering more interesting blogfolk lately. Denise and Dinah are both very nice people with interesting weblogs. I’m adding both of them to my links. And Tom included me in his celebrity trash-digging, which is nice, actually.
I finally found:
- PJ Harvey – Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea ($16.99)
I really really want to like this CD. I’ve been a big fan since the beginning (I paid $30 for her first CD, Dry, when it was only available on import from the UK), but she’s lost me as she’s drifted away from simple guitar and voice arrangements. This is better than her last, but still not up there with Dry or Rid of Me. I’m hoping it grows on me. She’s really decided to go with a whole Patti Smith sound. One thing that’s always bugged me is when non-American musicians try to adopt American music. U2’s Rattle and Hum still annoys me for this reason, and I’m hoping I can learn to like PJ again.
