her style is REALLY dark, be prepared...but you'll never hear a voice like hers anywhere else. her version of "gloomy sunday" on "the singer" is one of the most amazingly moving things i've ever heard...and if you ever get a chance to see her live, you'll feel every emotion you have in you, from anger to horniness to sadness to giddiness.

I'm working on a cover of "You Said Something".

I listened to that on the way to work this morning

i will always enjoy singing along with the entire "to bring you my love" album in my cher voice. try it. it works perfectly.

So, what is everyone's opinion of Dance Hall at Louse Point?

BOW DOWN MOTHER FUCKAS !!!

So, what is everyone's opinion of Dance Hall at Louse Point?

polly's everything!!!
this record was , in my opinion overrated by critics and underappreciated by fans.

She really should trim downstairs if she's going to wear short skirts!

What are those?

Makes me want a hungarian in the back of my car

I totally forgot how much I love this album!

I used to play it almost every single day when I worked in the record store!

My job mates were like: "...not this again ..."

avant rock meets country blues at the saturday night dance = BLoody Brillant!!

See, that's where she kinda lost me. I got it the day it came out, but have hardly ever played it. Same with Desire until last year. I was a huge fan of her first 3 albums, but for awhile there I couldn't keep up with her. I should revisit it now to see what I think of it.

You know how I feel about Desire. That album is an epiphany for me. I didn't hear Dance Hall at Louse Point until after this album was released. So I had 2 distinct listening experiences going at the same time. I had never seen the album until Stories was released and when I went to grab a copy of stories I was like what's this. I had never even heard of it

And I thought, damn I totally missed the album after Desire and then upon further investigation I saw that Louse Point was released before Desire and then it all made complete and perfect sense to me. Louse Point (I had thought it was Louise for the longest time.... ) ....Louse is the bridge between her past work and Desire. You can hear echoes of albums like Rid of Me and Love but you catch glimpses of the future that is Desire.

Bridge Crossing Over..... That is an amazing amazing song.....

And I dreamt of running.... And in the dream I myself could run...And I feel the ground beneath my feet...And I move like music, You move me, like music...



Many fans were lost on Desire. One comment I distinctly remember in connection to that album was "PJs new style of singing", trading in her "Tarzanic" shreiks (thanks Anx ) for subtlelty, which in actuality is a whole new benchmark of strength for an artist that became known for her mad operatic style. Desire is emboldened in it's expression because she chose a different way to approach these deep, dark, rich and tragic tales.

I wonder how I would have received Desire had I heard Louse first. I loved all of PJs early works but for me it was so exciting to see her branching out into a totally different road with Desire and I don't know....there is something magical about that album. The fact that it's almost a decade since it's release and I still find it a mystery makes it that much more appetizing to me. I have heard that many of the songs are based on actual stories but I will probably never read those stories because I prefer these songs to be defined within my own mind's eye

Listened to Stories all weekend and this album is still rockin. Horses in My Dreams is my favorite for the salvation factor. I thought of Moonbeam when I heard We'll Float That's what I love about all these discussions because I think of certain people when I hear certain songs/albums. I think of Gangsta when listening to choirgirl

I hope all this discussion sparks some to go back and revisit this album
