I think that everyone who loves music, and everyone who doesn't, has a favorite artist. One band, musician, or manufactured pop group that for reasons unknown speaks to their very soul. That one, that singular, constant love in my life is Kristin Hersh.
So here's my deal. I grew up in the age of vinyl records, purchased many a cassette later, in say my junior high years, and then easily moved in to buying CDs while still maintaining my previous purchases. Yes, I still own cassettes. And I'm never selling/giving away/burning my vinyl. It's all lovingly preserved. It all used to be in alphabetical order by artist, then in order of release. It's not anymore, with husband and children touching and disorganizing. But it's all still there. And there is one band and musician that holds a still organized space, in a shiny red CD organizer. Throwing Muses and Kristin Hersh.
