paradoxical undressing

Paradoxical undressing is the removal of clothes, blankets, or other coverings by those suffering severe hypothermia. This behavior is not fully understood.

Kristin Hersh is an introvert. She is extraordinarily shy. Paradoxically, she is known as an artist for her sometimes brutal emotional honesty and openness.

"Paradoxical Undressing" by Kristin Hersh is a live spoken word project incorporating film, music and essays. The show will feature excerpts from Kristin's upcoming memoir, "Paradoxical Undressing" read by the artist, with musical accompaniment.

The show tells the story of a teenage girl wrestling with issues of extreme creativity, mental illness, pregnancy and life in the music business as founder of seminal American indie rock band Throwing Muses.

CASH Music Project - An Introduction:

ThrowingMusic is happy to announce an entirely new musical endeavor. We're calling it the Coalition of Artists & Stake Holders, or the "CASH Music Project".  CASH Music represents a new music business model which we hope you'll not only support but also help us shape, by sharing with us your thoughts, suggestions & opinions.

CASH Music is a new kind of offering from Kristin.  There will be lots of great new content, including a brand-new studio recording posted to Kristin's blog every month - free of charge. the first track in this series is called "Slippershell".

We're committed to not holding music hostage, the music will be free.  At the CASH Music site you have the opportunity to subscribe to Kristin’s career – past, present and future. You are free to use the music as you please, to create different mixes or maybe be inspired to create art based on the music.

The business of music clearly needs an overhaul.  We're going to present our ideas - and with your help, we'll endeavor to create a sustainable, fair-trade music business model.

This will be a strictly independent and self-sustaining venture -- for better or for worse. No record label, no distributor, no middle-man -- just Kristin, the songs and you.

We're taking the leap and can't wait to see what all of us together, as a small but enthusiastic community of 'stake-holders' can do for ourselves.

Thank you for reading this far!
