I have spent the past month recuperating after the year of touring and promotion. It is taking longer and longer each time to get back to level ground in my head after the tours. If you didn't hear, I announced at my Paris gig in December that it would be my last live show. The press has made light of my words, saying I am only retiring a persona like Bowie with Ziggy Stardust. While PJ Harvey the band is not Polly Jean the person, it is still my blood poured into the music and my words torn from my soul and it takes its toll. It might have been the sadness that followed the Peel tribute show the night before, or just the end of tour exhaustion, but I feel a relief in knowing I am through with that part of my life. I feel a slight bit melodramatic after finding it has been 25 years for Blixa, but I don’t know if I could handle another 12 years.

I have missed everyone so I am taking up the invitation and popping down to Sydney for a few days to see the Leonard Cohen tribute show and some mates.

AIM Posing Polly, add me.
