The ninja girl loves Against Me! She saw them perform and has their earlier album.
Cool! I saw from their website that they're performing in Boston in May; I am seriously thinking about getting tickets. (They're in Northampton two nights after that.)
Glad you were able to recover "Sweeter Than Anything"; I know what it's like not to be able to listen to a song easily.
PJ Harvey herself was problematic for a while (I was talking about her in this post). I was given To Bring You My Love and Is This Desire? by a person who later hurt me very badly; I don't actually like most of Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea, but the first two tracks were favorites and powerfully bound into the time I spent in New York City with the person I was dating then. I could recall specific kinds of light in the room as I'd listened to them. Nights I'd stayed up writing with PJ Harvey as my soundtrack. Tracking down B-sides on the internet. All in that apartment I haven't lived in for eight years now. They are still part of the amber; I don't think I will ever be able to hear the music without those echoes. But I can hear it now without needing to grit my teeth or feeling time start to dissolve around me and I am glad of that.
