I identified with some of the material from your script, and it worked on so many levels to hear it from you as spoken word AND songs. You would have had sooo many drinks bought for you if you'd asked!! Thank you.

A series of ten minute autobiographical fragments covering the time up until about the first Throwing Muses album read over guitar riffs, interspersed with excerpts from songs (mostly hers but a couple of covers).

Missed you and Billy DJing at the Voodoo Rooms because that bam Irvine Welsh was hogging the decks too long (hee hee). Was a great night. Hope to see you both back. thank you - S A captivating show, I could have listened all night, despite the chilly chamber.

Kristin, your prose style is exquisite. Each sharp, clarifying turn of phrase falls into place, bestowing its subject with an emotionally true, and truly emotional, blend of humour, melancholy and richly visualised recollection. As an essay on the nature of music (making it, hearing it, living with it), 'Paradoxical Undressing' gets closer, I believe, to the heart of the experience than any amount of music journalism - and in much finer forms of expression! I've long loved your songs and concerts (the London Barbican gig a few years ago was such a memorable night), but I'm now a bigger fan than ever. Hope the rest of the shows have gone well. I can't help feeling that you should have been promoted as part of the Edinburgh Literary Festival, too. I can't wait to get hold of the book...
