Kristin Hersh - EPs

I love Kristin Hersh. Everything she does is gold. Throwing Muses, 50 Foot Wave and solo work. Here is a collection of random EPs from her solo work, going back to her earliest to some of her more recent.

At a Throwing Muses gig at ATP, I was very drunk (of course) and during the set I shouted out her name, not expecting her to hear me (I've not got the loudest voice in the world). But she replied "Yes?". So I said "You don't know how much we love you!" and she replied "No I don't". She wasn't in a very good mood that day...

First out is the "Your Ghost" EP from the wonderful "Hips and Makers" LP from 1994 featuring Michael Stipe on backing vocals.

From 1998 is the "Like You" EP from the "Strange Angels" LP

From 1995 is "The Holy Single"

Finally is "In Shock" from the brilliant "Learn To Sing Like a Star" LP from 2007.

Enjoy

Jullander - early singles

Well it's been a while. I can only apologise. Busy busy.

Anyway, carrying on where I left off, I present - Jullander.

Many moons ago I was given a box of demo tapes after the demise of the wonderful Wurlitzer Jukebox record label. Amongst these was a tape containing three songs by a band called Billy Mahonie from London. More about that if I do a post for them. But they agreed to let us put a single out of their stuff if it was a split single with a German band called Jullander. Gorgeous melodic post-rock, occasionally with German/English vocals.

Here are their first three singles include the songs from the Billy Mahonie split. The first is a 10" single called "im Dunkeln genauer". Babelfish translates this into "in the dark more exactly" which leaves me in the dark pretty exactly.

Second is their debut 7" simply called Jullander.

And finally, the sold out Stupidcat 7" split with Billy Mahonie. Jullander also brought out a version of this single in Germany in a different cover.
