[221] the sun doesn't shine down here in the shadow

Last day! I brought snacks to get me through. My body dysmorphia is not happy with me, but that's a fight for tomorrow. The snacks are salty and good and I have booked all of my accommodations for the summer (with the exception of Calgary, since mom is dragging her heels on that one), things are gonna be ooooooookay.


I really viscerally hate this cover so so much, oh my god


Wikipedia Sez: Dry is the debut studio album by the band PJ Harvey, fronted by English singer-songwriter and musician PJ Harvey, released on Too Pure Records on 30 March 1992. The album was recorded at The Icehouse, a local studio in Yeovil, United Kingdom. The first 5000 LPs and first 1000 CDs included demo versions of the album's tracks and Dry was subsequently released in the United States on Indigo Records in the US. Both versions were released in 1992. Dry was reissued on vinyl and CD in July 2020: an 11-track companion album collecting all of the demos titled Dry - Demos was also released on vinyl as a stand-alone record.

Genre: Pop/Rock

Styles: Alternative Pop/Rock, Alternative/Indie Rock, Indie Rock

Release Date: March 30th, 1992

Prior Familiarity: I did not even know PJ Harvey was actually a person. It's possible I conflated her with Harvey Danger in my head. WAIT NO SHE SANG MY FAVOURITE SONG ON THE NICK CAVE MURDER BALLADS ALBUM, once again this project comes full circle!!

What I Did While Listening: Puttered around before bed, mostly.

Verdict: In the immortal words of PJ Harvey in this album's opening track, "It's all right." Unclear lyrics don't usually bother me much, but all of the particularly incomprehensible lines in this seem to get repeated ad nauseum without ever getting any more comprehensible, and it's kinda infuriating? Some real prisencolinensinainciusol shit, if you know what I mean.

Favourite Song: Victory

okay, yeah, work is a nightmare, BYE

It could just be a personal preference-- I know Dry was very ~~critically lauded~~

A lot of the albums on this list seem to be like that. I dunno why they didn't consult me, an expert in nothing, when compiling it.
