I spent a portion of this Saturday going through my extended archive of music, the stuff that’s not in my central, everyday iTunes library. Most of those files are a bit old and for either quality or tagging reason, they’ve been left unincorporated. Some of these songs have been sitting untouched and unlistened to on cds and hard drives for years.
So I’ve decided to start sorting and evaluating them for re-inclusion into the main library, checking the ID3 tags, bitrates and such to make them conform to my standards.
And of course, I’m making sure I still actually like the song. In the case of this one particular song, Bjork and PJ Harvey covering the Rolling Stones’ Satisfaction (I Can’t Get No) at the 1995 Brit Awards, I was sure it would be gangbusters.
Turns out it was lacklusters. I didn’t much care for it. Somehow, they mangage to go over-the-top without doing anything at all.
So I’m deleting it from my collection. But not before I give it away. If eight-year-old mp3s are your thing, and the prospect of a Bjork/PJ Harvey duet makes you salivate in anticipation, download away.
Just so you know what you’re getting yourself into, there just happens to be a YouTube video of the performance:
Hi there, I’m not bilingual but got most of your lines. Thanks for sharing this video, wouldn’t mind having these two close for a while, singing of course.
Do you happen to know more JP songs other than the studio albums?
I only know a few more and only other from this duet: Leaving on a jet plane
thanks mate

Thanks so much for this. I didn’t think I’d be able to get the mp3.

Awesome! I have been trying to find a copy of this to buy without any luck.
