From Rolling Stone:
The title is a joke: at forty, Kristin Hersh has a voice that's worn as hell -- all two-packs-a-day rasp and vinegary bite. On her seventh solo album, the former singer for poetry-addled alt-rockers Throwing Muses finds a fitting counterpart to that somewhat disturbing voice in largely dark, largely acoustic songs that toss in string arrangements and often work up smart, stormy tumult. Though Hersh outfits the waltz-y "Ice" with a great slo-mo chorus, tunecraft isn't exactly her strength, and sometimes the album slips into haziness. But the best songs are unsettling in a good way: The haunting, plaintive "Sugar Baby" builds to a cathartic climax, and "Under the Gun" conjures a long night filled with fever dreams. Like a Star proves Hersh can rock powerfully; if she had some stronger material, she might be able to make a truly killer record.
CHRISTIAN HOARD
eww

i had a dream last night that kristin was in my town, somehow passing through on a train, and she wrote me a note and left it on a telephone pole near the station. and then i lost the note, and i was looking for it all over town, shit scared. then i woke up and put Learn TO Sing Like A STar on, and now i'm listening to surf guitar.

i can't find a mention of White Suckers on this thread, which surprises me even tho it seems like a run-of-the-mill song. It still really, really shakes me. "Drivin' around in your souped up jeep, like u got somewhere better to be" - totally reminds me of growing up on long island, lol...

So you kinda like her, huh?

Me and My Charms is one of the best songs ever, I agree. I love Hips and Makers overall as well, although I haven't ventured past that for some reason.
― humansuit, Thursday, 21 June 2007 14:34 (sixteen years ago) link
aww u should venture
― Surmounter, Thursday, 21 June 2007 14:53 (sixteen years ago) link
I know. The reason why tho is that I went to college and then I traveled and then I had kids, and so I am frozen in the past. All my CD money goes into 529 plans now.
