PJ Harvey @ Moscow Arts Theater: Bringing Her Love

Check out the following review & autographed setlist courtesy of our endlessly entertaining guest blogger, Megan B: It was STUNNING. She is just... this tiny graceful beautiful woman, all by herself she filled the stage, going from guitar licks to piano to that thingy that you hold on your lap and strum to drum machines. And her voice!!!! MY GOD!!!! Easily the best show I've seen next to J Spaceman in London! I brought a PJ novice to the show as well, she turned to me about halfway through and said "oh my god, she is a genius!".

PJ Harvey & Bjork - Satisfaction

The vixens tackled this Rolling Stones cover at the Brit Awards back in '95 (of which Blur won nearly every major award except international breakthrough act - that honor went to Lisa Loeb!!). Though the pair's take on the track is considerably more reserved than you would think the duet between the femme fatales would be, it's still genius and we adore it. Check out the video and MP3 of the one-off cover below.
