NEM#187: Eszter Balint Interprets Her Past

<p>Eszter is an actor/musician, gaining initial fame starring in Jim Jarmusch's first major film <em>Stranger Than Paradise</em> (1984). She has released four albums of often autobiographical songs since 1998.</p>
<p>We discuss "The First Day" (and end by listening to "Freaks") from <em>I Hate Memory</em> (2022) feat. Stew and Syd Straw; this album has been made into a stage show. We then turn to "Exit at 63" from <em>Airless Midnight</em> (2015) and "Almost Gone" from <em>Flicker</em> (1998). The introduction is the theme from her debut film, Screamin' Jay Hawkins' "I Put a Spell on You."
