Oct 27, Minutes Buy. Before Carrie Brownstein became a music icon, she was a young girl growing up in the Pacific Northwest just as it was becoming the setting for one the most important movements in rock history. Seeking a sense of home and identity, she would discover both while moving from spectator to creator in experiencing the power and mystery of a live performance. With Sleater-Kinney, Brownstein and her bandmates rose to prominence in the burgeoning underground feminist punk-rock movement that would define music and pop culture in the s. With deft, lucid prose Brownstein proves herself as formidable on the page as on the stage. That quality has become obvious over the course of eight albums with bandmates Corin Tucker and Janet Weiss… and now in her refreshingly forthright new memoir, Hunger Makes Me a Modern Girl. Instead, she candidly recounts the panic attacks and stress-induced shingles she experienced on tour. More important, it shows how compelling she is when she opens up. She carries a lot of humor and gentle self-deprecation throughout the work. For Carrie Brownstein, who grew up in the Riot Grrrl movement in the Pacific Northwest, they did: She started out playing in countless punk bands until settling on one with her BFF and romantic partner, Corin Tucker, which they eventually turned into the best rock band of all time, Sleater-Kinney. Her portrait is vivid, transporting readers back to the intimate moments that sowed her own roots, and made her the cool-girl icon she is today. Brownstein is honest, funny, and, well, everything you want her to be. On the page as in her songs, Brownstein finds the right words to give shape to experience. And to that she adds an important personal perspective. A brisk and fascinating work. When you buy a book, we donate a book. Sign in. Oct 25, ISBN Add to Cart. Also available from:.

Before Carrie Brownstein codeveloped and starred in the wildly popular TV comedy Portlandiashe was already an icon to young women for her role as a musician in the feminist punk band Sleater-Kinney. The band was a key part of the early riot- From a leader of feminist punk music at the dawn of the riot-grrrl era, a candid and deeply personal look at life in rock and roll. The band was a key part of the early riot- grrrl and indie rock scenes in the Pacific Northwest, known for their prodigious guitar shredding and their leftist lyrics against war, traditionalism, and gender roles. Hunger Makes Me a Modern Girl is the deeply personal and revealing narrative of Brownstein's life in music, from ardent fan to pioneering female guitarist to comedic performer and luminary in the independent rock world.

Miss Brownstein is truly a renaissance lady, a singer, writer, actress and she not only tolerates but has thrived working with Fred Armidsen. So, what should I expect of this book? Lori If you are interested in Carrie's achievements as an artist, and her experience with her band and the PNW music scene, then you will enjoy this Hunger Makes Me a Modern Girl: A Memoir. You will find no mention of Fred Armidsen or Portlandia. This is also not a novel steeped in salacious gossip. So if you are looking for that stuff, you might be disappointed.

Nov 05, Sharon rated it it was ok. This isn't a book for readers looking for voyeuristic thrills from their memoirs. It's a passable music memoir, certainly of interest to all the Sleater-Kinney fans out there, but even they will be disappointed as I was by a book that feels too thin. It takes a while for this work to hit its stride. The first third is spent recounting Brownstein's early years. This is the least compelling section of the memoir, poorly paced and thin. There's little depth to the content, and it is horrifically o This Hunger Makes Me a Modern Girl: A Memoir a book for readers looking for voyeuristic thrills from their memoirs. There's little depth to the content, and it is horrifically overwritten. Throughout this memoir, its evident that Brownstein has a thesaurus-like knowledge of the English language without any real mastery of it. The book is riddled with big words that lack any real punch because they're the norm, and this is most evident as Brownstein talks about her childhood. Things get better Hunger Makes Me a Modern Girl: A Memoir SK comes into the picture, as that's really what this book is--not the memoir of Carrie Brownstein, but the memoir of Sleater-Kinney. Even then, it feels more like biography than memoir. Sure, we have a somewhat self-deprecating account of Brownstein's struggles with depression and anxiety, but those feel almost rote. You're not going to learn much new about SK in this book. At times, I felt like I was reading the SK wikipedia page with minor edits to show Brownstein's perspective. There is some insight into the artistic workings of SK, but not a lot. Each album has its own chapter, where we learn about the songwriting and recording process, along with a few anecdotes about the associated tours. Sometimes individual songs are mentioned--notably missing is 'Modern Girl', a song whose lyrics gave this book their title, Hunger Makes Me a Modern Girl: A Memoir somehow didn't warrant a single sentence in the meat of the book itself. There is little detail of Brownstein's life after SK broke up and before they got back together. There's a single mention of Portlandia, and a chapter detailing her work with Portland's animal shelters. The book closes with a brief discussion about SK's most recent tour and album. It's a quick, at times interesting read, but it doesn't feel rewarding. If you're into Brownstein's work, stick to her music and work on Portlandia. She's a much better musician and comedian than she is a memoirist View all 12 comments. Jun 11, Diane rated it really Hunger Makes Me a Modern Girl: A Memoir it Shelves: audiobooksmemoirsmusic. What a fantastic music memoir! Carrie Brownstein writes beautifully about her development as an artist and how she became a successful musician. Carrie grew up in the suburbs of Seattle, Washington, and she started playing the guitar at a young age. She says she was an anxious and melodramatic child, but she loved to perform. In high school she started playing with bands, and eventually formed Sleater-Kinney, which Time magazine once described as America's best rock band. The book covers Carrie' What a fantastic music memoir! The book covers Carrie's growth as a musician and her experiences with Sleater- Kinney. One of the most memorable stories is that Carrie was romantically involved with singer Corin Tucker, and there was an awkward phone call from Carrie's father when a national magazine published news of their relationship after they had already broken up.

    # 2021/24 dschungel https://jungle.world/artikel/2021/24/words-and-guitar Ein Rückblick auf die Diskographie von Sleater-Kinney Words and Guitar Von Dierk Saathoff Vojin Saša Vukadinović Zehn Alben haben Sleater-Kinney in den 27 Jahren seit ihrer Gründung aufgenommen, von denen das zehnte, »Path of Wellness«, kürzlich erschienen ist. Ein Rückblick auf die Diskographie der wohl besten Band der Welt. »Sleater-Kinney« (LP: Villa Villakula, CD: Chainsaw Records, 1995) 1995 spielten die beiden Gitarristinnen Corin Tucker und Carrie Brownstein erst seit einem Jahr unter dem Namen Sleater-Kinney, waren nach Misty Farrell und Stephen O’Neil (The Cannanes) aber bereits bei der dritten Besetzung am Schlagzeug angelangt, der schottisch-australischen Indie-­Musikerin Lora MacFarlane. Nach einer frechen Single und Compilation-Tracks auf Tinuviel Sampsons feministischem Label Villa Villakula erschien dort das Vinyl vom Debütalbum, die CD-Version aber auf Donna Dreschs Queercore-Label Chainsaw. Selten klang Angst durchdringender als auf diesem derben wie dunklen Erstlingswerk, das mit zehn Liedern in weniger als 23 Minuten aufwartet. Corin Tucker kreischt sich die Seele aus dem Leib und Carrie Brownsteins Schreien auf »The Last Song« stellt mit Leichtigkeit ganze Karrieren mediokrer männlicher Hardcore-Bands in den Schatten. Mit Sicherheit nicht nur das unterschätzteste Album der Bandgeschichte, sondern des Punk in den neunziger Jahren überhaupt. »Call the Doctor« (Chainsaw Records, 1996) Album Nummer zwei zeigte eine enorme musikalische Weiterentwicklung. »Call the Doctor« ist das streckenweise intelligenteste Album von Sleater-Kinney, das sich einerseits vor der avancierten Musikszene im Nordwesten der USA verneigte, in der die Band entstanden war (Olympia, Washington), zugleich aber äußerst eigenständig vorwärtspreschte und bei allem Zorn auf die Ausprägungen misogyner Kultur Anflüge von Zärtlichkeit nicht scheute: Selten wurde Unsicherheit so ehrlich vorgetragen wie auf »Heart Attack«.

A chainmail mesh that protects against despair, fake news, and cynicism. Overstatement? Perhaps. Like all compelling utopias, Wikipedia and working in the Wikipedia community does have a dark underside. But let’s look at the light . The Working Wikipedia Collaborative is a group of scholars, teachers, archivists, and librarians working with Wikipedia in higher ed in the Boston area — all women, some rogues, and all convinced of the educational and societal value of the utopian Wikipedia project. Three of us share our stories in this chapter, but these are just a part of the work the Collaborative has done together — workshops local, national, and global, presentations, in-class orientations, cross-institutional visits, publications, edit-a-thons, mentoring circles, and elevator pitches. Collaborative members are active sharers in the participatory and collaborative knowledge creation movement that some have come to call Wikiworld. We always write as the Working Wikipedia Collaborative, but each of our origin stories is unique — and strongly shaped by working with and on Wikipedia. For us, working with the encyclopedia and its community has been a valuable forging ground, shaping each of us into links in a wide-reaching mesh of personal and professional connections.

    Allison Wolfe Interviewed by John Davis Los Angeles, California June 15, 2017 0:00:00 to 0:38:33 ________________________________________________________________________ 0:00:00 Davis: Today is June 15th, 2017. My name is John Davis. I’m the performing arts metadata archivist at the University of Maryland, speaking to Allison Wolfe. Wolfe: Are you sure it’s the 15th? Davis: Isn’t it? Yes, confirmed. Wolfe: What!? Davis: June 15th… Wolfe: OK. Davis: 2017. Wolfe: Here I am… Davis: Your plans for the rest of the day might have changed. Wolfe: [laugh] Davis: I’m doing research on fanzines, particularly D.C. fanzines. When I think of you and your connection to fanzines, I think of Girl Germs, which as far as I understand, you worked on before you moved to D.C. Is that correct? Wolfe: Yeah. I think the way I started doing fanzines was when I was living in Oregon—in Eugene, Oregon—that’s where I went to undergrad, at least for the first two years. So I went off there like 1989-’90. And I was there also the year ’90-’91. Something like that. For two years. And I met Molly Neuman in the dorms. She was my neighbor. And we later formed the band Bratmobile. But before we really had a band going, we actually started doing a fanzine. And even though I think we named the band Bratmobile as one of our earliest things, it just was a band in theory for a long time first. But we wanted to start being expressive about our opinions and having more of a voice for girls in music, or women in music, for ourselves, but also just for things that we were into.

Something’s happened to me over the last five years. I listen to, and trust, pop music far less than I did in my twenties, and the pop that I still listen to is radically different than what I grew up with. My ears cock, like a cat’s, more toward jazz, avant-garde, and instrumental hip-hop now than to the rock, rap, R&B, and beat-driven fare that sustained me for twenty years. To be fair, jazz was always there, ever since I bought a $20 CD of Miles Davis’s Capitol/Blue Note years in a cold January morning in 1994. I bought it from Sound Warehouse, a chain that’s long gone, because the cover was cool and Davis—with his close-cropped hair and natty suit—looked cooler than I could ever hope for. It was a sophistication to aspire toward, and to try and impress girls with.

  • The Appropriation and Packaging of Riot Grrrl Politics by Mainstream Female Musicians
    Popular Music and Society, Vol. 26, No. 1, 2003 “A Little Too Ironic”: The Appropriation and Packaging of Riot Grrrl Politics by Mainstream Female Musicians Kristen Schilt “RIOT GIRL IS: BECAUSE I believe with my wholeheartmindbody that girls constitute a revolutionary soul force that can, and will, change the world for real” (“Riot Grrrl Is” 44) “Girl power!” (Spice Girls) Introduction Female rock musicians have had difficulty making it in the predominantly white male rock world. Joanne Gottlieb and Gayle Wald note that women’s participation in rock music usually consists of bolstering male performance, in the roles of groupie, girlfriend, or back-up singer (257). Even in punk rock, women are often treated as a novelty by the music press and cultural critics. Male bands such as the Sex Pistols and the Damned achieve rock notoriety while their female counterparts, like the Slits and the Raincoats, sink into obscurity. However, 1995 saw an explosion in the music press about a new group of female musicians: the angry women. Hailed in popular magazines for blending feminism and rock music, Alanis Morissette topped the charts in 1995. Affectionately named the “screech queen” by Newsweek, Morissette combined angry, sexually graphic lyrics with catchy pop music (Chang 79). She was quickly followed by Tracy Bonham, Meredith Brooks, and Fiona Apple. Though they differed in musical style, this group of musicians embodied what it meant to be a woman expressing anger through rock music, according to the music press. Popular music magazines argued that musicians like Morissette were creating a whole new genre for female performers, one that allowed them to assert their ideas about feminism and sexual- ity.

  • The Oregonian Ted Wheeler
    The Oregonian Ted Wheeler: Addressing Portland's livability without 'harassing the homeless' (Guest opinion) By Ted Wheeler December 10, 2017 Portland is a dynamic and prosperous city, and I'm honored to serve as your mayor. People are moving here from all around the nation and the world to participate in what our community has to offer, including diverse employment opportunities, thriving and unique neighborhoods, world-class restaurants and access to nature. I am committed to ensuring that, as Portland grows, the things we love about our city grow along with us. The Seattle Times recently characterized our economy as "transformational," and Forbes called Portland the "Best Place for Business and Careers" in the country. A recent survey from Downtown Clean and Safe found that employment, wages and the number of new businesses are all growing. But this success and its resulting growth have come with some big-city problems, among them rising housing costs, concerns about safety, more litter and graffiti, and increased traffic congestion. More than anything else, I hear about the need to address our homeless crisis with clarity, consistency and compassion. In concert with my colleagues in Portland, Multnomah County and the Joint Office of Homeless Services, we've made record investments - driven by record business license revenues - on a compassionate and comprehensive approach to homelessness. Our approach includes more rent assistance, enhanced shelter options, improved community mental health services, addiction treatment and permanent housing. We are doing more, even as the federal government retreats from its commitment to housing and mental health. The goal is to get people the help they need to get off and stay off the streets.
