Pitchfork Interview
Comments (0)

Carrie recently had a chat with who other than Pitchfork discussing The Spells, her writing, acting and all other endeavors.
When the inevitable question about the possibility of a SK reunion popped up…

“Yeah, I don’t think we’re ruling it out. But it’s not going to be any time soon. We probably wouldn’t use the word “reunion” [laughs]. We would say that the hiatus is off. It’s just semantics, but yeah [laughs]. “Reunion” is a scary word. There’s some horrible connotations in the word “reunion” [laughs]. It involves a lot of, like, face makeup, and everyone commenting about how much older we look. It’s precarious: the longer you wait, I think it gets worse.”

I’ll take it.

The full interview can be read at Pitchfork.

Carrie to star in feature film
Comments (0)

Today Pitchfork have dropped word that Carrie is set to star alongside The Shins’ James Mercer in Matt McCormick’s debut feature film Some Days Are Better Than Others.

“Overall, I’d say that the film is about lonely people trying to create their own abstract forms of communication. You could call it a charmingly melancholy look at abandonment,” McCormick says of the feature. The film is currently in post-production and is scheduled for a fall 2009 release.

Matt previously worked with Carrie in the 2008 short film Light Tiger Eye also featuring Mercer, and of course directed the video for SK’s Jumpers.

Video Obama
Comments (2)

Carrie alongside Miranda July are offering a video incentive to donate moola to Barack Obama’s presidential campaign.

The two have set up a webpage currently offering three videos at $10 a piece. The videos are in no way related to Obama and were apparently made almost a decade ago.

If you’re considering making a donation and want added video goodness, head over to Video Obama. Alternatively, a direct donation to the campaign can be made at barackobama.com.

‘Gardenia’ Video Premiere
Comments (0)

Portland, OR’s indie rock upper crust — including members of Spoon, Sleater-Kinney, the Thermals, Quasi, and many more — packed the air-conditioned confines of Valentine’s Saturday night (Aug. 16), swilling drinks and boogying at the downtown haunt frequented by the city’s creative underclass. The occasion? None other than the world premiere of the video for Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks’ “Gardenia,” a number off the band’s most recent long-player, Real Emotional Trash.

The clip, the directorial debut of Portland resident (Daniel Woods) effortlessly compliments the track’s laid-back vibe with arty transitions and a rapid-fire parade of local and not-so-local celebs — Joe Plummer from Modest Mouse, Panther, Sam Adams (Portland’s mayor-elect), Girl Talk, Ratatat, and Brian Bell of Weezer, among others — lip-syncing and air-guitaring along to the music.

Malkmus — who was noticeably absent Saturday night due to family obligations and is also said to be no fan of the video-making process — gave Woods his approval to helm the project earlier this summer and the end result doesn’t disappoint. The general response from attendees after the premier was positive, with Jick drummer Janet Weiss telling us that she thought the video was “very good.” Judging by the high-fives and congratulatory handshakes aimed Woods’ way, the majority agreed.
