so tell me, why is Kaputt better or worse than Let England Shake?

yeah, i know. i was breaking it down to canon people vs "don't give a shit about a canon" people. not saying that either group is more numerous, and lots of folks are obviously somewhere in the middle.

probably most people in the middle, tbh

deej p much 100% otm so far

i listened to the pj harvey album and realised its that thing i always make my housemate turn off in the kitchen when we are cooking. he doesn't really like kaputt either.

ah c'cmon, he's just swiping at tangents. grumble, kvetch...

man i still can't really get down with bejar's vocals, and there are large portions of kaputt that are a yawner for me and that i have problems with,

but that "sounds, smash hits..." couplet is just all-time. doesn't really scan but perfect. how did he do that?

he read a magizine, iirc

Played Kaputt in the car today, every song is a jam.

this thread inspired me to go back to all of PJ Harvey's albums on Spotify

she fucking owns

great post, mouthy.

Obviously this is a drunken thread so this seems extraneous, but Kaputt is very clearly very American and Let England Shake is very clear very English. I like both, a lot, but I prefer PJ's.

but destroyer isn't american...

this entire episode definitely made the US posters seem more parochial than the UK ones, which i hadn't thought was the case before

yes in a lot of ways kaputt feels very... canadian to me. don't ask me to explain how or why though. peace

Nick that's a wonderful post

Thanks dude.

Dudes.

Yeah, just read the blog - nice one sicko, enjoyed it

hm.

can i just take a moment to laugh at whoever compared pj harvey to ts eliot

hey they both have initials

So does JFK.

I'd been wondering why I'd suddenly got lots of people following me on Twitter.

good thread.

a favorite post:

i just went through this whole thread again. forgot all about it. tim going full nabisco. lex bringing the hilarity. good one.

I'm always about the judith posts in this thread

you are a judith fanboy. who was judith?

oh at some point in the past year i finally listened to the blue nile (indeed, hats) and thought it was really bad

just another 2 billion verdicts to go and then we can all kill ourselves safe in the knowledge that culture has been logged

yes why even have opinions

I wasn't too fond of it either after my bff Brad recommended it.

Hats is cool you guys drool. First album is my fave though.

i listened to a few tracks off of Kaputt in honor of this thread last night and, yeah, still no....

he should have asked Superpitcher to produce it. maybe then it would have worked a little better.

is disco in the sky the last thing that superpitcher did? he needs to put out an album and save the world.

i am legit shocked that alfred doesn't care for hats

just another 2 billion verdicts to go and then we can all kill ourselves safe in the knowledge that culture has been logged

all this talking is only bravado

gonna relisten now, Brad, because I gotta write a film review.

there's a double vinyl superpitcher comp that came out last month, looks like it collects a bunch of his singles.

no "softmachine", though.

and wow i was not aware that he did a single with Westbam ten years ago

i just ordered one. impulse buy! though to be honest i'd rather have it on CD.

in honor of this thread i'm gonna listen to kompakt all summer.
