It was very nice to find this update (via Wikipedia discussion page); I’d been wondering where Miki had gone to. Can’t help being fascinated by someone who wrote so much intelligent and insightful lyrics coupled with such great music. IMHO, Lovelife may be the top-to-bottom best album I’ve ever heard, Topolino has a lot of good stuff, and I certainly like some of the older tunes a lot (admittedly shoegaze for the most part not really being my thing). Duly appreciating the warnings about the perils of hero-worship, with which I heartily agree, nevertheless, one can’t help but thinking that, at the very least, Miki would be an excellent person with whom to share a beer or six, or a road trip. Indeed, is it not one of the real pleasures and spices of life to have a great friend or intriguing acquaintance whose company and conversation you really value and enjoy, but whom you’re not at all confident you’d want to (choose one or more, as is appropriate) let choose your political leaders / be business partners with / date / marry / let babysit your kids / trust with money / let borrow your car? Without knowing Miki, I get the same sense I got with my college friend Alex H., with whom I could easily have a fascinating four-hour conversation, cross a wide range of subjects, learn a lot (more insight than facts), and thoroughly enjoy the whole process, despite the fact that we disagreed at least as often as we agreed.

There were a lot of musicians on the scene in the early 90’s, but not too many artists. Lush were definitely the latter. As much as I would like to see Miki back on the scene, I just glad to hear she’s happy and living it up with her family. Ciao!

I was still in puberty and Lush was such a great soundtrack for that moment, shagged for the 1st time listening to Spooky. Thank you for making those songs, Miki. You made life such a hopeful transition to adulthood, taxes, bills, and x-wives. All that disappears when I watch you on YouTube. Come Back. You have another generation to bless. And you are needed now more than ever.

Ahhhh, Lush… takes me back. Great songs, great live band and Miki made it even more worthwhile. She was the reason I went out and bought a Rickenbacker 330/12, then later a 360/6.

I remember getting up on stage at one gig with a load of crowd surfers (Town and Country Club possibly?) and stealing a kiss off her…

Glad she’s happy with what she’s doing now, would love to see Lush reform, but I doubt things could ever be the same without Chris.
