The light maze of b-sides

"b-sides are weird, four winged creatures. you'd expect them to be sweet riddles, they've been out-casted from the big building that is 'the_album' and you think there must be a reason, BUT: you still end up loving them way more than the songs in the album itself.those featured in the good fortune single(s) do not make exception to this (if paradoxical) rule. anyone would agree that memphis is "very divine indeed!" and 66 promises (or 30, the third bee., featured on part 2) are "great songs" if nothing else."
This Harvey Girl Rocks

"This isn't the exact CD single I have of "Good Fortune" -- the one offered here on Amazon actually has more tracks. But if you want to introduce yourself to alternative goddess PJ Harvey, this import single is a seductive burst of rock-hard soul, angst, and attitude. "Good Fortune" is from her latest album, but "66 Promises" and "Memphis" are stellar B-sides. (The latter is a tribute to the late Jeff Buckley.) As whip-smart as PJ rocks, her songs bear lingering emotional wounds that leave you wondering afterwards if they were yours or hers to begin with."
