Crucial Track for March 6, 2026

"Green Screen" by Kristin Hersh

Keith, a friend from high school in the90s, made me at least two mixtapes with at least one of them containing a Kristin Hersh song which is when I started collecting her work.

I was a Strange Angel for a few months a long time ago. That's her artist support/subscription model - I believe she was the first (if not, then one of the first) musicians to institute a direct listener-to-artist crowdsourcing model.

Hers was the last live show I saw before the pandemic hit, and it was a really, really good show. I don't think she played this song. I'll play this song on a loop when I hear it because I believe it's the kind of song that one should play on a loop when one hears it.
