Carrie Brownstein has made iconic contributions to the worlds of music, with the indie-rock band Sleater-Kinney; and comedy, in the sketch comedy show Portlandia, which she co-created with Fred Armisen. She tells Guy about how the band found its sound, about the unlikely events that led to the birth of Portlandia, and about why she had to take a break from Sleater-Kinney to finally face some childhood traumas.

I love words and Carrie Brownstein is one of the wordiest of wordsmithers. I never travel far from a notebook and a pen and thankfully so, as Carrie's vocabulary rivals the SAT. I am in love with her for all the best reasons, and anytime I write or say -- anathama, diffident, deleterious, interlocutor, and labyrinthine -- I will fondy think of her.

I remember seeing Sleater-Kinney before they made it big, they were just as awesome

They never made it big. That’s the sad part…but they are brilliant!

Hype was a big thing. Like I remember those guys from Japan putting on the leather jackets and dancing. I was like: you see that? While swing dancing was the thing. Go see hype…!

Carrie claims to not be a singer, but I actually prefer her voice on a lot of the SK songs. Especially "Modern Girl". She has this really retro vibe among other things in her vocal style that I love.

I adore her voice on all her songs but especially those on Path Of Wellness. Such a subtle punky tone used. But I understand what she means as she doesn't have a strong voice (and that's completely OK because voices do not have to be technically great to be enjoyable).

guy, the interviewer, is not a good listener, he asked Carrie three times, why Portlandia, each time she said it started as something todo for fun, then he asks her did you start doing 5hose videos just gor fun? wow this guy is annoying and bad at his job, interviewing is mostlymlistening, not talking.

tsuch an amateur interviewer, poor time management, he is shocked at the end it is at Carrie's hard stop. dude, use a timer, keep it in the corner of your eye. use tools to be better at your little hobby here.
