Behind the Curtain: To Peek or Not To Peek

Soundcheck | May 3, 2010
"Myth and mystery have always been crucial to the worship of music," according to NPR blogger and former Sleater Kinney member Carrie Brownstein. But in an age of blogs and tabloids, she asks: "Where is the mystery now?" It might be found in life of an international DJ, as described by Jace Clayton, a.k.a. DJ/rupture. Brownstein and Clayton join us to share recent essays compiled in the new book Best Music Writing 2009.

Carrie Brownstein and Jace Clayton will appear tonight at Housing Works Bookstore Café at 7 p.m. with other “Best Music Writing 2009” contributors and the book’s editor, music writer Greil Marcus. More info here.
