Polly Jean. I’ve spent the last few days with First Aid Kit’s The Lion’s Roar but yesterday Let England Shake snuck by and into the playlist. Again. It does that at times, becasue God damn, that fucking album you know? And then, images of her live performance of that album in the church folded out in my head — the brain is sort of like a pop-up book, you know? A turn and then suddenly the memories are there in your face. It’s easy to go make them go down but at the same time it must be handled with care or the pop-up will be ruined. And that sucks. Now, PJ Harvey. The black dress, the black feather hat, the damn voice and the songs and everything. I just had to draw her again. Had to. The words that went with the pop-up memory demanded it.
