My Take
Carrie Brownstein is one of those rare artists who refuses to be filed under a single heading. From shredding guitar in Sleater-Kinney to writing and acting in sharp comedy, she treats every form of expression as connected territory, anger, humor, and intelligence all running on the same current. I respect how she helped clear a path in an era when women wielding loud guitars still drew raised eyebrows. Her Evergreen State College roots, all freewheeling and self-directed, seem to fit her perfectly. I'm an easy mark for people who hold several creative identities at once, and Brownstein wears hers with unusual ease.
