The Carpenters, "Carpenters"
Manage episode 241771853 series 2532231
Karen Carpenter's voice is one you know instantly, and makes you feel like the only one listening. Though on the surface the Carpenters seemed like a squeaky clean brother-sister duo, their story is wrought with family drama, painful emotional scarring, and tragedy. We'll discuss the Carpenters' rise to popularity, as well as Karen's eating disorder, her mother, failed relationships, and Sonic Youth. Karen is one of my biggest influences as a musician, so this is a special and emotional episode for me.
