Carrie Brownstein Music Corner Ep. 5: VICE News Tonight (HBO)

For her last week on High Standards Music Corner, Carrie Brownstein, founding member of the legendary punk band Sleater-Kinney, imagines Jane Fonda as Conor Oberst’s “perfect 10.”

In addition to “A Little Uncanny, ” by Oberst, Brownstein comments on:
“Halfway Off the Balcony,” by Big Sean.
“Windy City,” by Alison Krauss.
“Moving on and Getting Over,” by John Mayer.

Sleater-Kinney is an all-woman punk rock band formed in Olympia, Washington, in the mid-’90s. After going on an eight-year hiatus in 2006, the band made a much-celebrated comeback in 2014 and have since released one studio album, “No Cities to Love.”

When you see people insulting fucking Carrie Brownstein you know you're probably gonna have a bad day

[Alvinyokatori]

I would watch one of those bits where they pick out records I think carrie’s would be really interesting big sleater Kinney fan

[vertbleu]

I think the serie is good, and guys don't talk about 'news' anymore you don't have to watch it and you're not getting less news. And I believe most of the people who dislike it aren't TRUE music lovers :)

[ohhyesbuddy]

I agree that this isn't news and misplaced. However, I love this and would love to see more but on another Vice outlet, not the news channel. Cheers!

[MarshalofFrance]

Why is this kind of content on this channel? Put this on Noisey. I subscribed to this channel for world news and particularly "beyond the headlines". Oh how far this channel has fallen...

[XskiXedgeX]

Wait... This isn't news. And by news, I mean a video showing us how to smoke weed out of a carrot.

Oh, you did that video already? Awesome.

[JudahMcA]

She looked so disappointed to find out she liked john mayer. lol sad.

[Trooper-trzi]

how the he'll is this news? what about irraga and ukraine?

[TheNickLavender]

What got me into watching Vice, were the dispatches (Middle east, Ukraine, etc). Those were interesting, informative, and even people within the US intel community were paying attention because Vice was going places and getting info that even THEY couldn't. There was a bunch of us that used to watch Vice because of those dispatches and all of the relevant news videos that were put out. Not anymore. I'm still subbed and I check back now and then to see if there is anything relevant and then I see videos like this... I don't know who Carrie Brownstein is, and I doubt any of us care about what her taste in music is. What we would LIKE to see are the News videos/stories/episodes that were gripping, informative, and got us to watch in the first place. Vice you were at the top of the game and were the envy of Fox and CNN... and you still can

[knowone]

Can you bring back the daily news updates vice news had back in time, loved those... stop with this shiet

[We_Reddit]

The only way to stop this kinds of "for clicks and views" video is not to click on them. Going forward. Because obviously i have done so already. *This is what happens when a quant analyzes data and puts together a proposed content format* that he or she thinks will get a lot of views and clicks. Quants, i say.

[bCKization]

So this is more important to learn about than children dieing in Africa,

where do aging hipsters go to die. VICE....
