PJ Harvey’s Man-Size, from back when her music was a raw and pared down swamp blues, when her lyrics were darkly feminine but never reductively feminist, when she could make videos like this, sexual but not sexy, calculated but messy too, when she could sing a line like ‘douse hair with gasoline, set it light and set it free,’ and make it sound like the last sanity in a fucked up world, when, frankly, she had more (man-size) balls than the rest of the timid indie scene put together.
She still does, her music has become even more awesome with time.
Saying that you love The Beatles but you hate Paul McCartney is like saying that you’re Christian but you hate Jesus Christ.

Matt Bellamy on being asked what the biggest misconception people have about Muse is (via cydoniahype)
Music is a thing that changes people’s lives. It has the capacity to make young people’s lives better. Music got us through school, break-ups, whatever - so it’s more than just entertainment, the way I see it. It’s like, if you can write it, you should do. You’ve got a duty to the world to put it fucking out there. There’s not enough good things in the world. You’ve not got a duty to make more guns, or synthesise more drugs, or fucking design more cars. But you’ve got a duty to make music. If you can, you should.
