(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Dry may refer to a state lacking moisture, a high alcohol content in alcoholic beverages, and is the name of a music album (below).
Recorded at the Icehouse, Yeovil, UK, PJ Harvey's Dry was released twice, firstly on Too Pure accompanied with a limited edition Demonstration LP, and subsequently on Indigo Records. Both versions were released in 1992.
Received as well in the States as the UK, this album prompted Rolling Stone magazine to name Harvey Best Songwriter and Best New Female Singer. In spite of the acclaim, "Sheela Na-Gig" was the only single to chart in the US, at #9 on Billboard's Modern Rock singles chart.

Lexicography | Devil's Dictionary | HANDKERCHIEF, n. A small square of silk or linen, used in various ignoble offices about the face and especially serviceable at funerals to conceal the lack of tears. The handkerchief is of recent invention; our ancestors knew nothing of it and intrusted its duties to the sleeve. Shakespeare's introducing it into the play of "Othello" is an anachronism: Desdemona dried her nose with her skirt, as Dr. Mary Walker and other reformers have done with their coattails in our own day -- an evidence that revolutions sometimes go backward. |
