How I met Carrie Brownstein
This was at Southgate House in Newport, KY in 2003.
Because I was the random weirdo that came up to her at a Gillian Welch show and couldn’t come up with anything better to say than “They’re really good, huh?”
Someone else threw her up here but glad to see her on the list already. Where was Corin people?
One of the smartest rockers in the land. One of the hottest guitar gods (goddesses) ever.
Love this quote!
Carrie Brownstein: I definitely think that music or art can be a moving force for an individual or a community. Whether it is merely a tool of inspiration or a source of enlightenment and information, there is power in art. Sleater-Kinney sets out to inspire people by way of providing a contrast to the cold technologies that we often mistakingly substitute for comfort and consistency. Music is rooted in a very social and community based historical context, and we are interested in using it as a way of bringing people together and connecting with one another. In this way it is a political tool.
