Let It Bleed: The Oral History of PJ Harvey's 'Rid of Me' Albini: Minor music-business functionaries having an opinion about how a singer should sing or how her band should sound — all those people can go fuck themselves. I reject the notion that I have very much responsibility for the ultimate success or failure of a record. I’ve worked on a lot of great records and I’ve worked on a lot of shitty records, and from my perspective, the work is equally demanding and equally satisfying on a terrible record as it is on a great record. The difference is the people making the music had a great record in them when they were doing the great record. And PJ Harvey had a great record in them when they did Rid of Me.

Tomorrow night (Friday 1st February) my friends Ben and Ruth, along with several of their colleagues, have chosen to spend the night sleeping on the streets of Stoke-on-Trent to raise awareness of the problem of homelessness in North Staffordshire.
If you just read that and thought “IN THIS WEATHER?”, then please spare a thought for the many thousands of people in the UK who don’t have the choice, and consider donating just a couple of quid to one of them.
The money they raise will be collected by their employers, Arch, who help to house, support and educate the people who have nothing.
