Somewhere I wish I had been.

1992 - Secret Solo Show at the White Horse, Hampstead
January 5th

'Rid Of Me' and the accompanying '4-track Demos' by Polly Jean Harvey are my personal favorite records of alllllll time. Unwaveringly.
Those songs changed my life.
Every year, on my birthday, I listen to both from beginning to end.
I named my dog after her for christ sake.

Here we get a chance to see Ms Harvey working these songs live alongside earlier songs from 'Dry', well before the release of her demos or the Albini album sessions and without a band. It's like spotting a live tiger in the jungle. Awesome. A little bit frightening, but mesmerizing.

The set:

Rid Of Me
Dress
Hair
Highway 61 Revisited
Sheela-Na-Gig
Missed
Man-Sized
Dry
Satisfaction

FLAC files are fully lossless audio codec files. This means they are high quality, larger files. They are worth it sometimes. This is one of those times. Dozo.

Evan @ Lola's 2002

This one is a request. Once upon a time I was in a band called Tea For Julie. While I was in that band, we had occasion to open for the talented and extremely stony and friendly Mr. Evan Dando. This was, I believe, in 2002? I had learned the bass parts for the set about a week before the show and I was a bit nervous as it was a near sold out show at Lola's room, and I really didn't want to be playing bass in that band anyway. Yikes. Anyway, it all worked out and a great time was had by all. We recorded Evan's set for him with a single Groove Tube condensor mic plugged into a Vestax VF-16, (with his permission) so don't expect it to sound super amazing. :) Playing with him on this tour were: Juliana Hatfield on Bass, Chris Brokaw on guitar, and a sweet drummer.
