for those of us who are discontent for those of us who are still clawing and fighting and wrestling and thrashing about those are my people.

From the TED Audio Collective, this is Design Matters with Debbie Millman.

For 19 years, Debbie Millman has been talking with designers and other creative

people about what they do, how they got to be who they are, and what they're

thinking about and working on. On this episode, Carrie Brownstink talks about her career as a punk musician and her other career as a writer and comedian.

I want life to feel urgent. I want art to feel urgent.

If it weren't to feel urgent.

If it weren't all true,

Carrie Brownstein's career would seem like fantasy fiction.

She is a celebrated musician first and foremost, but she's also a comedian, a writer, a director, and an actor.

In today's interview, we're going to talk about the band

she co-founded, Slater Kinney, which has been called

one of the greatest bands of all time.

They've just released their 11th album, Little Rope.

But I'm also going to ask her about the now classic television series,

Portlandia, which he co-wrote and starred in alongside Fred Armisen.

Along the way, we're going to talk about her memoir,

Hunger Makes Me a Modern Girl, and Everything In Between.

Carrie Brownstein, welcome to Design Matters. Thanks for having me.

Carrie, I understand that you've described your look as akin to Mick Jagger in sweatpants.

Really?
