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.
