Be sure and check out their early cd House Tornado.

"I've always loved your hair, I want to paint the clouds with your head on a stick."

Best lyrics ever.

There's a Kristin Hersh solo album called "Sunny Blue Border" which is one of my favorite recordings ever. For example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HTqpXR9y…

A more recent thing that Kristin Hersh did with Michael Stipe, more sedate, but haunting https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=igPvSBDt…

My connection to Throwing Muses is from playing the University album on repeat for a couple years as a teenager. It was helpful.

What does "the canon" mean in this context? The canon of what, exactly?
