Thanks bmarkey -- I do like Kristin and it'll be good to hear something new from her.

Thanks!

matildaben introduced me to this band- they're awesome.

I loved the Throwing Muses. I remember back in 1993 I was in London at the very awesome Tape & Record Exchange when I happened upon the original (holy crap!) demo that got the Muses signed to 4AD. Can't remember how much it was; it seemed a princely sum to my poor student ass, but I bought it, made a master copy to dub for all my friends at Subbacultcha and kept the original on a velvet pillow*.

Of course, that demo was later released as a part of In the Doghouse, but if anyone wants to come by my house and bask in the warming glow of the demo or the Fat Skier 12", just let me know.

Throw some punctuation in that last comment somewhere. Your choice.
