Kristin Hersh

 One of the artists that I respect most for their integrity through the decades is Kristin Hersh.   Kristin fronted Throwing Muses, solo work, and Fifty Foot Wave.  I have met and spoke with her dozens of times.  She was always gracious, kind and accommodating.  I have seen her perform in all of her incantations.  

This interview is moving, honest, and revealing, typical of Kristin.  She spoke about a different personality that took her over when she performs.  She has no recollection of it.   I witnessed this many many times in concert.  She would move her head and neck side to side in a hypnotic fashion.  It reminds me of a King Cobra.   She pretty much confirmed the dissociation in the below interview.  She was totally different offstage...quiet, shy, and softspoken.  

 I remain fascinated by these performers and their channeling of energies.  


My favorite lyric is from Teeth.

"This hairdo's truly evil.  I'm not sure it's mine."





Teeth
a piece of meat
From a barren tree
Nothing ever spoiled on me
You brought this
You dipshit
I could get 
Nothing ever spoiled on me
That cloud stomps around my house
Does whatever it pleases
It teases me
Till you stepped in

Never dried my halters on the line
This hairdo's truly evil
I'm not sure it's mine
You're so tall
What the hell?
Never was a baritone
It's like I climb a waterfall
That cloud stomps around my house
Does whatever it pleases
It teases me
What I said was get me a drink
Alright?
What am I supposed to sit
And look at you all night?
All girls cry
Like I said, I don't know why

I had been sending donations to Ensemble Ptashitsa in Russia for many years.  After each of their Youtube livestreams, I would send 20 dollars or so.  I always received an email of gratitude from Ivan, the leader of the group.   When the Russia Ukraine event started, I got my Paypal account locked and my bank account was locked as well.  I was able to get my bank accounts back, but to this day cannot link Paypal to my bank account.  I could no longer send donations.  Ivan released a statement about not getting deceived by stories in newspapers on Ukraine and Russia, used to divide us.  It was a brave statement inferring media fakery.  There were ALWAYS many Ukrainians in the livestream chats of Ptashitsa.  These illusions of borders and countries could not be clearer.   A year after my donations stopped due to this "war",  I received a Ptashitsa calendar in the mail from Ivan, signed by the group.  He said thanks for ...

There is something about astrology and personality types that is telling. So many of the people in this facet of the internet are Geminis. Off the top of my head... Ab Frank the Salt Guy Velocet Casimir Napoleon Wilson Jeff Not Shocked Farcevalue, if my memory serves me correctly.  Perhaps there are more that I am missing.  I do think that our personality types are coded into our incarnation based on the position of the stars. We are all given a personality template. All is part of the design of the simulation.  Reflecting on my life, I remember spending every Friday evening with my grandparents after work as a teenager and in college...wanting to hear their stories of what they experienced in their life.  I had no interest in alcohol or girls...I wanted to know who I am and where I came from.   My paternal grandfather was put into an orphanage as a child after his father was killed in the coal mines and his wife died from a broken heart afterwards.  M...
