The tour coincided with the publication of the book and she spoke a great deal about things in-between the songs.<br /><br />Mike over at Manic Pop Thrills has written about Kristen a fair bit and his archives are worth checking out.JChttp://www.thevinylvillain.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5834198189370622587.post-29838447779243608972017-09-11T18:38:13.608+01:002017-09-11T18:38:13.608+01:00This is one of those albums I loved at the time bu...This is one of those albums I loved at the time but which I can't listen to now! I know that sounds a bit mean, and I know it's still great, but I just find it a little too dark and depressing to handle! Knowing that Kristin has been so troubled by mental illness just makes it a harder listen.Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02423624920558505937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5834198189370622587.post-83489809938757893722017-09-11T10:14:12.148+01:002017-09-11T10:14:12.148+01:00I'll maybe take it out to read when I am on ho...I'll maybe take it out to read when I am on holiday Charity Chichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12049726176497694026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5834198189370622587.post-86353426333915389622017-09-11T08:54:49.597+01:002017-09-11T08:54:49.597+01:00The book is well worth a read.

I still follow her work with interest, though I have to say recent records - including the latest Throwing Muses album - haven't excited me that much.
