The women in her songs, "Cory Jo," "Annabelle," "Rosie," may be beautiful, lost ballad heroines, but her first-person narrators are stronger: "The war of love was kicking my ass/And I had a motto I'd try anything twice." Heart busted open, she revels in the blood-red life pouring out.

 Abstract   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
Actually, it is only this union of Christ-like and knightly qualities that keeps Myshkin from all the associations that the word "idiocy" suggests, and brings forth the spirituality and kindness which he radiates in the novel.
When discussing Myshkin's idiocy some scholars substitute the term "jurodivyj" for "idiot." G. Ermilova, for example, writes that "through religious and folk jurodstvo Myshkin is connected to the deepest strata of Russian national life and culture." N.
Minihan suggests that the word "jurodstvo," when applied to Myshkin, implies "innocence, deep spirituality and incompatibility with the outer world." I argue that Myshkin can be called a "jurodivyj" only for the short period of time during which the action of the novel takes place.

 LEFT OFF THE DIAL - Album Reviews - Myshkin's Ruby Warblers: Corvidae
It is the true warble here — throaty, smooth, an elastic tool that she has obviously honed through her touring and collaborations with other local artists.
The electronic touches one occasionally picks out only add a near ambient street feel to the album; it’s like happening upon a tiny blues club with the door propped open to catch the breeze, carrying in traffic and voices other than the purr from the smoky stage.
From the first track to the last, it’s not an album to raise your spirits, but it is absolutely perfect for slow evenings, hot afternoons, and drinking.
