You cats hating on my original comment need to cool out. I never meant to "compare" the two. Why were you so quick to judge that i was comparing? That's unfathomable! C'mon people, do really think Lana and Annie are even on the same level, hell even in the same league to be compared? It was a spur-of-the-moment comment. I was tired of seeing Lana in the media and thought St. Vincent should be in the spotlight considering how exquisite her latest record is. Now, let's all enjoy this session!
Just bought a guitar like this on eBay. They were originally sold by Sears and Montgomery Wards for kids swept up by the British invasion. Can't understand why it took decades for a hardware store guitar to work its way into the progressive/alt universe. Or. Yeah. I can see how it might take that long. For the record I have never seen a woman like Annie in Sears.
Lana DEL Rey and Annie Clark are certainly not the same...
St Vincent is an extraordinary guitar player, she's absolutely amazing in gigs, and her songs are truly well written. LDR is a pure marketing product without soul.. Uncomparable ..
so amazing. I've had a crush on Annie ever since the first time I saw her play live like 10 yrs ago. what a thoroughly amazing individual. Her music is a great reflection of her being.
oh ffs stop comparing this amazing goddess of music with Lana Del Rey. Please, it's a moot point that shouldn'/t have even started. Also Annie's music smells so good is so full of life and color k, bye <3
i can't think of an honest to god popular opinion that st vincent is worse than lana del rey. i don't know why everyone on the internet likes to preach to the choir, i also think it's really dumb to compare lana and annie based on gender.
I saw her back in october, front row center. It was unreal; it felt like a dream or something. And she's even more gorgeous in person. She's super sweet, too :)
I love this, and I've watched the full 15 minutes dozens of times now, but it's almost too good. Like it's nauseating. It makes me fucking sick, it's so good.
this is the slickest performance ever! watching st. vincent perform is just as incredible as listening to her! why aren't more people seeing this?!?!?!?!

@aheard4 A Jaguar? Do you know the first thing about guitars? I have never seen her anywhere near a Fender guitar. Got some links to pics? No. Didn't think so.
harmony bobkat.woops i got my cats mixed up.and @PhysicsForTheFuture you can calm the fuck down.it's a guitar and yes they're awesome but not that big of a deal when you mix up a name. i wasn't being an asshole when i typed my comment.you could just correct me kindly like a civilized person.and don't belittle my knowledge when you have no information of who i actually am. the only idiot is you for getting so angry over a mere accusation.
@TheAndreBurks lol what's really sad is how not obvious that is to a lot of people, even though Annie Clark is miles ahead of Lana Del Rey as a musician.
@asianmatt2012 Well the 35 people that liked the comment are just as guilty for the popularity of those kind of comments so it's not entirely his fault.
@ThePersonWhosCool Almost looks like a Taylor Arch-top, but she does have an afinity for odd-ball guitars so that may be too mainstream for her tastes...not sure though. It sure LOOKS like a Taylor no sound soles on the body though...
I'm still trying to figure out in some sections wether she's using a midi-controler box from her guitar, "The Key players" are doing it or a combination of the two. The key's/synth players sure seem to be playing alot of stuff over top of her, but she's so crazy(read: GENIUS) with her guitar tones that it's hard to tell. There are some REAL distinct guitar solo's but some fo the ambient stuff is just confusing even though you can look right AT her playing it (ir whatever is actually going on)
Really interesting and strange. It sounds like her voice only comes from her throat not her heart, though does seem really appropriate to the whole aesthetic of St.Vincent, or maybe just this performance, i haven't seen that much yet. Everything's so under control even when it's looks as if it might not be. Chilling!
music isnt subjective, music is subjective and objective like everything else within the reality of humans... ((it's an objective way of thinking to think music is subjective))
the world needs more artists to take chances like she does so effortlessly. Some of it does it for me and some doesn't but like sonic youth, when things go right it is absolute bliss.IMO complacency is the worst thing for music.
@aweingalliterations it's just my opinion. this band doesn't rely on common structure and manages to hold my interest with other tools such as sound design and unconventional rhythm and contrast along with the vocal delivery. Let radio pop band try what these guys are doing here and they will fail.
Why waste our time arguing? Music, like all things people love, is subjective. Why do we need to defend our reason for loving something, we just do. And I love Annie Clark's music, I just do. I don't need to write a book for why I do. I just do.
And the way I see it, saying St. Vincent has no talent is the same as saying i.e. Katy Perry does (no offence, but it's just purely commercial without any thought behind it, like a significant part of the musicians on top of the charts). I think he sees it that way, so we'll never agree with him anytime soon and although I might've defensively reacted in a childish manner, as well, I see no use in continuing this any longer. It's plain stupid.
hey, sorry for doing this, I know it's slightly tasteless, but I started this music project a few months back and haven't got the chance to promote it or anything...so check it out on my channel, you might like it. I f you do, please spread the word :D. If not, sorry for wasting your time.
Not gonna comment on her songs cuz it's not exactly my type. But I'd say those sessions look good and offer a good sound quality too, which are imo much better than those music videos which are produced for purpose. 4AD should have done it with Cocteau Twins. That might've popularized them in Europe and Asia, where the alternative music is largely respected.
@EGarrett01 And then we are back at that beautiful recognizable guitar line. So this isn't music that you can show your 14 year old mtv nazi sister, but it is music that you can sit down, and listen to, and feel. And don't go telling me that i don't know what music I like and really don't like. Because I take the time to listen to and appreciate my music, as music should be treated to
@EGarrett01 your left with that hauntingly familiar repeated guitar melody. Then back to the same build up, with a different melody on top, and in a different, but recognizable fashion.It leaves you needing something more, and she gives it to you. The drums lead into the catharsis of "if i ever see that..." That part is magnificent, full of emotion, for her and her listeners, the soaring vocals and togetherness of the whole band are a stark contrast to the syncopated and fractured other parts.
@EGarrett01 Oh no no no no no. Do not get me started on how good I think her music "actually" is. But you know what, here I go. Let's take the song "Strange Mercy" for example, as it is one of my favorites on the album. It opens with that syncopated drum beat, which is immediately resolved by an intricate chord progression, and a beautiful vocal melody that Annie somehow wrote over that fractured drum beat. It then at "i'll be with you lost boys" begins a build up that is quickly torn down and
The songs HAVE a melody and a drum beat, and chords, but the unity of them is a massive fail. She seems to lack any natural talent for recognizing how sounds go together to make pleasurable music.She's imitating the general structure of it, but in detail it's all messed up and doesn't work. Pretty girl, good personality but extremely untalented.
@EGarrett01 i think, perhaps, you've struck upon what (reasonable) people call 'subjectivity'. don't mistake your own opinion for a universal one. i love this music, i find it pleasurable and beautiful. if you don't that's fine. appreciate diversity.
The Wisdom of Crowds is a known, scientifically-studied and verified phenomenon that is INCREDIBLY accurate for subjective judgements, when properly applied. There are bestselling books about it. It's not opinion nor a naked appeal to popularity. She's had more than enough exposure for it to judge her work accurately. It has been judged to be utterly insignificant. She needs to try harder or let someone else write for her because she has no natural musical talent.

She needs to try harder or let someone else write for her because she has no natural musical talent.
Even though this isn't her best live performance (it's the first time performing these songs live, so that's pretty logical), I really love it! Lucky for me she's coming to Amsterdam :) Wonder what certain people think is bad about her lyrics and composition, but what the heck, why should I keep reading stuff that I'm certain is without the needed knowledge and just annoys me? Not knowing an artist and already saying she's terrible and untalented. I know what she's capable of and I love it!
@EGarrett01 Well no, i don't own an iPod, but she is listened to regularly from my phone. So I answer you again with a "yes." However you, Mr. Garrett, have not yet answered my inquiry, so I will ask it again. Why do you ask your question?
@EGarrett01 First of all shes not unknown... Maybe you've noticed that she´s appeared on Letterman earlier this year and most of her videos are close to one million views now, not that it matters. Secondly, I love her music ,its very enigmatic and strange while still remaining poppy and sweet and i think this is one of the reasons why shes not ridiculously famous, the majority of the population don't care for prolific music which is sad, but not as sad as you.
It's interesting how polarized the opinions are of St Vincent. I think it's just a reflection of how we are these days. Maybe it's the fear and misunderstanding of something different. Maybe it's a reaction possessed by those who either hate or love this type of expression. Either way it always comes down to whether you like the music or not. That simple really...
I don't give a fuck about what any of you others have to say about the video or the band. I just love Annie's voice and her enlightening way of playing the strings of life and death. Just keep at what you guys are doing St. Vincent. You guys are awesome.

The Wisdom of Crowds is a known, scientifically-studied and verified phenomenon that is INCREDIBLY accurate for subjective judgements, when properly applied. There are bestselling books about it. It's not opinion nor a naked appeal to popularity. She's had more than enough exposure for it to judge her work accurately. It has been judged to be utterly insignificant. She needs to try harder or let someone else write for her because she has no natural musical talent.

Even though this isn't her best live performance (it's the first time performing these songs live, so that's pretty logical), I really love it! Lucky for me she's coming to Amsterdam :) Wonder what certain people think is bad about her lyrics and composition, but what the heck, why should I keep reading stuff that I'm certain is without the needed knowledge and just annoys me? Not knowing an artist and already saying she's terrible and untalented. I know what she's capable of and I love it!

@EGarrett01 Well no, i don't own an iPod, but she is listened to regularly from my phone. So I answer you again with a "yes." However you, Mr. Garrett, have not yet answered my inquiry, so I will ask it again. Why do you ask your question?

I'm asking the question because I think deep down you know her music isn't any good.

@EGarrett01 What's wrong with liking her music? Is it inherently immoral to do so?

I'm just saying it isn't any good and she has no talent. You can still like it.
EGarrett01 2 months ago
@EGarrett01 Just out of curiosity, who do you think has more talent than her? I'm just wondering, that's all.

@EGarrett01 First of all shes not unknown... Maybe you've noticed that she´s appeared on Letterman earlier this year and most of her videos are close to one million views now, not that it matters. Secondly, I love her music ,its very enigmatic and strange while still remaining poppy and sweet and i think this is one of the reasons why shes not ridiculously famous, the majority of the population don't care for prolific music which is sad, but not as sad as you.

It's interesting how polarized the opinions are of St Vincent. I think it's just a reflection of how we are these days. Maybe it's the fear and misunderstanding of something different. Maybe it's a reaction possessed by those who either hate or love this type of expression. Either way it always comes down to whether you like the music or not. That simple really...

I don't give a fuck about what any of you others have to say about the video or the band. I just love Annie's voice and her enlightening way of playing the strings of life and death. Just keep at what you guys are doing St. Vincent. You guys are awesome.
