So lately I've been featuring a lot of mainstream artists. Ever since I featured The Go! Team, I've been focused on the hip-hop tip. It started off OK (Dan Le Sac vs. Scroobius Pip, Common feat. Lily Allen, The Hood Internet) but then I found myself writing about Fergie. Well that stops here. This week we revert back to the indie hipster scene.

I've never been a PJ Harvey fan, but lately I've been listening to a lot of kick-ass females (Tegan & Sara, Feist, Bela Karoli) so I thought I'd try out White Chalk, PJ's newest (released Sept. 24). White Chalk is PJ Harvey's eighth album. She started recording for this album after finishing and releasing last year's PJ Harvey: The Peel Sessions. Last year she also released PJ Harvey On Tour: Please Leave Quietly, her first DVD.

Harvey has gone through many transformations on each album, kinda like an indie Madonna. On White Chalk, she has morphed from rocker girl to Victorian waif. This new album uses piano in place of guitars. So, naturally, I chose the song "The Piano" to open this week's Snobcast.
