about

Long enough ago that I was still under the impression that K and Kill Rock Stars were the same label, I bought Heavens To Betsy’s These Monsters Are Real 7” single, and I loved it immediately. Ever after, I bought every Kill Rock Stars record I could find.

I always suspected it slightly embarrassed Slim when, years later, I confessed to him that my musical career peaked when one of my albums was issued with the KRS logo on the back.

“Me and Her” explores the strange duality of the sort of intense personal relationship in which it is possible—maybe even mandatory—to both love and hate a person equally. Structurally speaking, it’s a simple enough song—the lyrics contain no word longer than three syllables, and the bass riff that anchors the song repeats throughout (even during the bridge)—yet it expresses everything. It’s poignant, pure, and powerful; it’s heavier than metal!
