A Conversation with Carrie Brownstein | JCCSF

Portlandia and Transparent actress, Sleater-Kinney guitarist, NPR contributor, screenwriter and all-around cool person Carrie Brownstein has spent three years working on a deeply personal and revealing memoir. Hunger Makes Me a Modern Girl is a narrative of Brownstein’s life in music, from ardent fan to her days as a guitarist for Excuse 17 - a pioneering band in the Riot Grrrl scene - to her success as both a comedic performer and rock luminary as Sleater-Kinney rose to the top of the indie-rock world. Hear the story of the dawn of the underground feminist punk-rock movement that would define music and pop culture from one of its founding mothers.

Honestly, Carrie is one of the most INTELLIGENT interviewees I have ever seen. As in.. Intimidating. According to Paul, Scripture says her vocabulary is remarkable 😍

[@brepettis]

Great interview. I'm inspired by her ability to share emotional experiences from the inside.

[@Shiyounin]

She is unbelievably humble, clever, and funny.

[@robwarren4425]

2 very low key geniuses . An excellent conversation.

[@DMills-un1tl]

A glimpse into an entirely different generation and world from ever my own. Delivered through a vessel of massive intuitiveness and hyper intelligence, with lightning-quick wit.

[@henripernod9713]

Comedic Genius

[@theythemmoritz4537]

She really carried this interview. He was not a good interviewer- interrupting her to finish his not-funny jokes (~57:10), asking her several distinct questions as an individual question, talking over her in places. Gurgle.

[@rayjeanturner9077]

Why does she look so much like justin long?lol

[@maddz2828]

She totally does! Have you watched Portlandia? She does a male character on that show named Lance and she looks identical to him! So much so that they brought him on as a cameo in one episode.
