And now featuring more 90’s nostalgia, “50-Foot Queenie” by PJ Harvey:
And this song, featured in the Basquiat soundtrack, is perhaps my least favorite of the album she cut with John Parish (see another video from the album):
Although it pretty well carries the weird apathetic vibe from the era. Cobain, what?
yay jennie lewis!
and I lurve your new computer too, if it means you’re back to blogging :)
AAAH yes, 50 ft. Queenie, a soundtrack by which to stomp the unrighteous.
I am looking for Rocket Man by Elton John tonight, and all I can turn up is Shatner. Wah-wah-waaaah.
