PJ Harvey

I have no idea what I was listening to in 2000, but it wasn’t this. We Float was my favorite track. Radiohead/Tori Amos sound. Probably won’t listen again, but did enjoy the quality songwriting and complex arrangements.

I remember this music well. Back then, I tried to love it, but I’m over trying to enjoy things I don’t. I’m just not cool enough to like this music. However, it’s an excellent example of pure grunge, with punk and rock influences.
