Episode 59 - Book Talk with Xiu Xiu

Tuesday, May 13th, 2008 - running time 00:07:53

Xiu Xiu's Jamie Stewart takes us in the stacks to show us his literary side.

To anyone familiar with the soul-ripping poetics of the experimental indie rock band Xiu Xiu, it should come as no surprise that Jamie Stewart is just as bookish as he is intense. Here, we take him to Moe's Books in Berkeley, California, where he discusses the novel that influenced Xiu Xiu's most recent album, Women as Lovers. He also rounds up a collection of books that represent his range of interests - from darkly political to just plain cute.
