#sundayrevival Somebody's down somebody's name - PJ Harvey

Somebody's down somebody's name -
PJ Harvey
Even if this is one of my favourite PJ songs, a b-side of the 'To bring you my love' era, I never really understood the meaning of its title. What does that mean? According to the lyrics, it would seem to me like somebody has been shot down, but what is somebody's name? Or is it something like somebody going under somebody's name? Well, I am utterly confused by that, but the music and other lyrics of the songs are so enchanting that I can't help feeling totally wrapped in its guitar loops each and every single time. Well, if any of you English mother-tongues (or else) can help me figure this one out, I'd be forever grateful!

Lewis (mistreated) - Radiohead

Lewis (mistreated) - Radiohead
I am really glad that I devoted some time to listening to the extra materials of Radiohead's 'The bends' too, even if I am not the biggest fan of the album. This song is part of my current playlist and I've felt connected with it lately, today in particular when I found it playing in my mind with a strength I didn't think possible. I understand it's way of telling me it wants its post here now, so I won't oppose in this gloomy and grey Monday, a placid and apathetic day that feels like the going down of a spring board, a low moment that comes before something great!

Fake plastic trees (acoustic) - Radiohead

Fake plastic trees (acoustic) - Radiohead
In these hours Radiohead have announced that they will embark on a world tour in the next few months, doing so in support of their forthcoming 9th album. I am lagging "just a little bit" behind, as I'm only going through with the CD2 of their second album, 'The bends'. Radiohead 2.2, while in real life they're almost at 9.1... well, I'll get there (sooner or later). I am glad I devoted a little more time the 'The bends' by listening to the extra material, even if I didn't go crazy for the album. I didn't go crazy for the extras either, but there are a few things here and there that made this effort worth it. This beautiful acoustic version of 'Fake plastic trees' is one of them.
