The Kristin Hersh Archives

Finally saw @throwingmuses.bsky.social @kristinhersh.bsky.social - soft, angry, righteous, elegiac, distorted, all in the right moments.

The details of the cassette with notes about each of the songs

The cassette in an open case so you can see the track list

I'm basically on 12-hour workdays for a bit - it will calm down in a week or two but in the meantime we're working off what I've already photographed for now!

Maybe more cassettes? How about this: Throwing Muses Soap Opera Saga 2nd Episode. Single-sided promo tape from Warner Brothers/Sire.

Have a look at the original press kit that came with @throwingmuses.bsky.social's first self-released EP in 1984, kindly scanned and shared by @musicephemera.bsky.social. It's a priceless source to have a glimpse at some of the very first reviews the band got in Providence, RI, and Boston, MA.

I strongly suspect at least half my items are Throwing Muses-related. Nothing says "1990s" like a branded CD wallet! Honestly I couldn't give a date on this to save my life, but at some point during the heyday of Throwing Music, they released this incredible relic, and I, a crazy person, kept it!

And speaking of @throwingmuses.bsky.social's "Doghouse Cassette", here's 'Sinkhole', "named the number one song in America on college radio stations by 'The Campus Voice Magazine' and MCA", according to the Salve Regina Newsbulletin in 1985. The song remained exclusive to this release. #TMDoghuse40
