I used to be a Throwing Muses/K. Hersh completist, but somewhere around the mid-90s I relaxed...

So I am only now getting around to listening to Murder, Misery and then Goodnight. Despite the subject matter, this is the most straight-up material I've ever heard her do--just good ol' fashioned Appalachian murder ballads and standard folk tunes. The songs fit her nasal voice and clever guitar-playin'. Not quite as haunting as I would have expected, but a very worthwhile project.


You can probably guess who I'm rooting for in this case! I say put the kid in the zoo, harumph!
