PJ Harvey Wins Mercury Music Prize 2001 (acceptance speech)

pj harvey wins her first mercury music prize in 2001

I watched this at the time and having enjoyed Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea I was delighted that P.J Harvey won it. I remember her on the phone, the call connected just as you see here, there was no delay getting her on the line or anything but I remember the call was longer. It really seemed like she was a million miles away. One of the oddest things that day was the absence of aircraft in the sky. Living under the flight path to two London airports it seemed really strange, not as strange as the same thing for 6 months though.

I was wondering why they were all talking about how surreal the day was and it suddenly clicked that it was on 911. fucking hell

[@fartemis4033]

Its a joke because Gorillaz were nominated for their debut but requested to be pulled from the shortlist
