Dept of Music: Judith Peraino, “I’ll Be Your Mixtape: Lou Reed, Andy Warhol, and the Queer Intimacies of Cassettes”
March 29, 2018 @ 4:00 pm - 5:30 pm
Judith Peraino will be giving a talk entitled “I’ll Be Your Mixtape: Lou Reed, Andy Warhol, and the Queer Intimacies of Cassettes.” This paper discusses a tape found in the Andy Warhol Museum Archives of uniquely compiled and never-released songs by Lou Reed, and the circumstances of its making that illuminate the affective affordances of cassette technology in the 1960s and ‘70s, and the mixtape as a material recording of ontological vulnerability.
