The Quietus interviews my favorite musician:

Petra Davis: You're about to publish a book of your diaries, is that right? Paradoxical Undressing, or Rat Girl – which one is the UK title again?

Kristin Hersh: The long one, because you guys know how to talk. The spoken word show, before I had the book deal, was called Paradoxical Undressing. But apparently that's not immediate enough for Americans, so in the US it's called Rat Girl. And it's a very appropriate title.

I'm so glad Scholastic translated Harry Potter for us! I'd never have understood when they were talking about boogers otherwise.

Hersh rocks my socks.

I'm so proud.

In a similar vein, when Alan Bennet's play The Madness of George III was made into a film, the title was changed because American audiences might think it was the third film in the series.

Trifecta

The Quietus rules.
Kristin Hersh rules.
Rone rules.

I hit the trifecta.
