Kristin Hersh (born August 7, 1966) is an American singer, songwriter and author.
Early life
Born in Atlanta as Martha Kristin Hersh, she was raised in Newport, Rhode Island. She learned guitar at age nine from her father, and started writing songs soon after.
Musical career
Throwing Muses and early solo work
While in high school, Hersh formed Throwing Muses in 1983 with stepsister Tanya Donelly and friends including Elaine Adamedes, Becca Blumen, Leslie Langston and David Narcizo. Hersh sang and wrote most of Throwing Muses' songs in changing tempos, with Donelly composing and singing some of the songs as well.
Throwing Muses, then based in Boston, Massachusetts, was the first American group to be signed by the British 4AD Records label in 1986, releasing the EP, Chains Changed. In the next few years, the EP The Fat Skier and the album House Tornado were released and the band opened for The Pixies during their first UK tour. The 4AD biography of the band describes their sound as "...joining the dots between elliptical post-punk, harmonious folk jangle and rockabilly thunder without ever settling into standard genre patterns."
Me & My (real names Susanne Georgi, born July 27, 1976 and Pernille Georgi, born July 24, 1974) are a DanishEurodance-bubblegum sister duo signed under the EMIrecord label. They are best known for their first international hit song "Dub-I-Dub" (1995), which has been featured on many compilations including the Dancemania series albums. "Dub-I-Dub" went on to sell one million copies worldwide, while their self-titled debut album sold two million copies.
Biography
Before becoming Me & My, the two were known as "SuPer Sisters" (the word "SuPer" being a compound of the two singers' first names). Towards the beginning of the 1990s they released two Danish-language albums and tried to enter the Eurovision Song Contest 1991, but Susanne, then 15, and Pernille, then 17, were too young to enter the contest. The song which they were supposed to sing, eventually finished second in the Danish national final.
Besides attaining a reasonable level of popularity in Europe, the duo have also gained fans around the world due to their songs "Dub-I-Dub" and "So Many Men" being licensed by Toshiba-EMI Ltd. (the Japanese division of EMI) for the popular arcade video game series, Dance Dance Revolution. Despite the tracks debuting in the games in 1999 and 2000 respectively, they are still firm favourites with players of the game, and "Dub-I-Dub" was included as one of several classic tracks on the tenth-anniversary DDR game, DDR X, released in May 2008.

Lovely empty baseball field, just one of the places to sun... Like a hot pink kite with no string... Heads rolling... You make heads roll... Whistle the day away... Whistle one day away... You make headway... Drift till the stuff that you're breathing seems like air... You go back there... Lovely empty baseball field, just one of the places to set your lawn chair... Like a hummingbird with no wings... Heads rolling... You have time and baby oil shine... Whisper the day away... Whisper one day away... You make headway... Drift till a piece of a place nests in your hair... You go back there... Talking at the radio... Just one of the places to shoot off your mouth... Like a hot summer dog on a lawn... Here today, never gone... Drift today away... Drift one day away... You make headway...
