PJ Harvey's let England Shake is THE TITS Y'ALL, I cannot wait to thrash the shit out of it.

Radiohead's King of Limbs will require a few more listens but first up I do not recommend looking at the album cover while Thom Yorke tells you to open your mouth one minute into the first track, it will probably make your skin want to run away.

In the meantime:

I tell you what, I am really, really loving PJ Harvey's latest, White Chalk. It's just ethereal and gorgeous and surprisingly catchy. I can't believe this is the same woman who released Rid of Me! ETA: Yes I can actually, there is a thread of the same desperation and menace in songs like The Devil and The Piano. But I just love the whole Victorian performance aspect of it, and the way it seems antiquated and avante garde and melodic and feminine and yearning.

Also, I saw Children of Men, finally, last night, and bawled my eyes out, even though Clive Owen's wooden acting. It's excellent, nice and tense with a few good surprises and dystopian to the max. It also boasts a completely unrecognisable, bedreadlocked Charlie Hunnam.

OMG, PJ Harvey is playing Thebarton Theatre on my birthday!! And my mum and Anton have bought me a ticket for my birthday! Yaaaaaay!

In sadder, but not really, news, I ran Windows Update on Saturday and it totally broke my computer. So because I'm so freaking sick of Windows I'm installing Linux. My dad has a copy of Suse 9.1 so we're sticking that on. Well, he's sticking it on and I'm sort of sitting there next to him. We tried all Sunday but there were some major, mysitfying problems, so we'll give it another shot when I go back next weekend.
