It’s late for me to be telling you this, but:
Frank Black and Carl Wilson: A Conversation About Modern Music and Taste
Thursday, February 25, 2010
7:00pm - 8:30pm
Someday Lounge
125 NW 5th Ave.
Portland, OR
Frank Black (Black Francis aka Charles Thompson III) writes and plays music as a solo artist and as a member of Grand Duchy and The Pixies. Carl Wilson is the Toronto-based author of Let’s Talk About Love: A Journey to the End of Taste, about class, taste, cultural conflict and Celine Dion (part of the 33 1/3 Series).
They’ll have a dynamic, irreverent discussion about the changing meanings of “alternative” and “underground,” the relationship of indie to mainstream, emotion in music, and how what we like defines, creates and possibly distorts who we are.
Brought to you by the Portland Center for Public Humanities.
I really look forward to attenting, Mr. Wilson. I’m hoping to meet you at this event. I’ll be there covering it for my blog.
I wanted to write a Thanks for coming to our class at Portland State today, taking time out when you were already doing this awesome event at the Someday Lounge! Feel free to come back anytime, I’m sure many of us would be happy to listen. Also, I asked about books that you thought were worth-nothing. If you have any spare time, I’ll be more than willing to wait for a well-thought out list of them! No pressure, of course. Thanks again.
