congrats PJ Harvey

thomas wilhelm's favorite album to listen to at work won the mercury prize for best british album of the year. if you havn't listened yet, download spotify and get to it.

also.

pj harvey commisioned photographer seamus murphy to direct a video for each song on her album. you can see all that are out here. i really like this one.

npr is showing "on battleship hill" exclusively, for the time being.

a little tip.

if you haven't checked out pj harvey's new album, let england shake, i higly recommend you do so. she sings about history and war and england and america. it is 11 biscuits, i'm telling you.

here's a recent fresh air interview.
