The Selection Committee Radio Show with Jarrett Earnest, 9/18/22

Why do we love things that are bad for us? The brilliant artist, writer, curator, and critic Jarrett Earnest joins us with a playlist featuring songs by the phenomenally talented musical impresario (and eventual murderer) Phil Spector, the incredible singer (and eventual memoirist) Ronnie Spector, and many other artists who worked with them.
Jarrett Earnest’s own work, from his survey of art criticism What it Means to Write About Art, to his more personal upcoming book project, Valid Until Sunset, (slated to come out in the fall of 2023), constructs an erudite and scholarly architecture from which to engage in risky, beautiful, and sometimes painful forays into sensation, aesthetics, memory, fantasy, and feeling. He brings all this, humor, and a genuinely awful John and Yoko song to the show.
