It feels like it’s been a month since I posted something. Oh, wait. . .
I am in love with this music video. I came across it a couple days ago when I was looking for a PJ Harvey song that I could play at work without people thinking I was crazy. I still can’t believe I had never seen it before. Those images of Harvey kicking around in the water in those ugly ass shoes are so great.
I’ve also been rocking out to "Stuff Me Up" for the last few days. I decided it was (just a little) too dirty to play at work.
