Few things are more exciting than listening to Billy Corgan and David Byrne talk about late psychologist Carl Jung, right? Right?

The two musicians will be part of an upcoming series on Jung's Red Book at New York City's Rubin Museum Of Arts that will also feature contributions from Sarah Silverman and screenwriter and director Charlie Kaufman (Synecdoche, New York, Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind).

The Red Book was written between 1914 and 1930 but not published until this year. Until last month, only about two dozen people had actually seen The Red Book, which some people think Jung wrote during a psychological breakdown.

If you can't make it to the discussions, you can download podcasts of them at the Rubin Museum Of Arts' website.
