Miranda July the Morning After

posted by on May 20 at 18:56 PM

The big party at Neumo’s last Thursday night ended with Miranda July and Becky Stark dancing with the crowd to DJ Fucking in the Streets’s set. It’s a happy, distant blur now—dimly recalled: the moment in one song when everyone started crazily jumping up and down—and it makes you wonder: How was July’s morning-after?

Hear for yourself. She was on KUOW at the ungodly hour of 9 to 10 the next morning, doing an interview with Steve Scher. Scher doesn’t seem to have read much of July’s book, but there’s some great stuff they do with callers, and they talk about all this stuff toward the end. (He asks her if that story about her lifting her dress over her head at a party is true.)

Enjoy.

Damn, not being able to get in was bad enough, but to hear Miranda had her dress over her head, fuck!

Oh, never mind. At *a* party, I thought she lifted her dress over her head at *that* party.

I know who she is, but am wondering: Is "July" pronounced like the month, or like Julie?

Christopher Frizzelle must apologize to Slog readers for emboldening an Enemy of Slog.

usually I turn off the radio as soon as weekday comes on, but that was surprisingly good. I think that maybe because Scher had just the right (low to medium) level of familiarity with her work, there was a lot of room for Miranda July to fill in the gaps and make it a pretty informative interview.
