St Vincent - Black Rainbow on ACL (2 of 5)

[TheCombatFetus]

I love the way she stands. and pretty much everything else about Annie Clark.

[PhysicsForTheFuture]

Suggest we need a completely new word to describe Annie Clark as St. Vincent. Singer doesn't quite capture the theatrical nature. Guitarist misses the drama as well. Composer sounds too distant for the physical involvement she has in the performance of her tunes. Pretty means she could by Taylor Swift.  Ideas?

[Monstermonty247]

Childish gambino sampled this song and its called Both hands

[davidhenning]

and she does it all with painted nails!

[mattfwilson]

Those eyes...

[Numelsaince]

She lloks like that skank from lynch's "Blue Velvet", I don't mean that in a bad way, I loved that character. THIS WOMAN IS MY IDOL OH PLEASE MARRY ME.

[Numelsaince]

I like turtles

[mrmayor92]

My nipples are hard.

[raisin22]

she looks so much like a disney character it sometimes scares me. so bold and beautiful.

[ButterflyTube1]

at 3:15 outrageous starts!! loved it.  thanks.

[NarwhalsArePimps]

This woman does not play guitar. A dark, terrifying thing inside it her plays it, and you can tell it scares the shit out of her.

[jgrabyan]

@NarwhalsArePimps *standing ovation*

[jimbobbolooki]

@NarwhalsArePimps That's possibly the best youtube comment I've ever seen! I couldn't agree more. She always looks so scared on stage. Except, have you seen her cover of Tom Waits' "The Black Mariah"? It's like the dark scary thing finally took over.

[socer523]

yea i feel myself hard like both hands

[Eyepiercings]

who the hell still creates music like this? omfg music revival

[pontemercy]

That ending. I orgasmed.

[jordanjunkGie]

@pontemercy fucckk, so epic

[vcassell]

I'm a fucking old man and I LOVE THIS!!! It's awesome to hear something original and interesting for a change rather than the pre-programmed crap that the "MACHINE" tells us we are going to like next. God bless you Annie Clark. You are helping to restore my faith in the creativity in America.

[flooberbloob]

Whatever planet Annie is from, I want to go to there!

[yargh36]

The off key notes that she hits are so hard to nail when you have the scale stuck in your head

[Mooshpups]

I heard this song on the radio a while back and didn't catch what it was, i'm so glad i found it!

[dansimsss]

There's sometime of Jack White in her way to plays guitar....

[chelseadelgadillo]

i can really appreciate the dude with the flute and white headband.

[davidboyle1984]

Thank you so much for putting this up, it has made my month!!!

[100grapes]

I need to know! is that andrew bird?!

[CynthiaCyanide666]

@100grapes no. definitely not. but i dont know who that is

[marywaterfield]

@100grapes no.

[JayyeMusic]

she effin killed that guitar omg

[queenabundance]

Is that andrew bird in the background?!

[iriedays311]

I'm a terrible person. I am deeply and madly in love with St. Vincent, but I already promised myself to Regina Spektor...It's quite the love conundrum I think.

[earthling111billion]

Whoa. What a finale!

[Fender1976uk]

this tune kind of reminds me of a blur track in some of the parts :)

[spacemodulated]

It's cool when you dicover someone that's as good as anybody ever has been at their own thing.

She kinda makes one despair for her immense talent and beauty in that bittersweet way that great artists hit you with.

[StarPowa57]

@spacemodulated This comment is beautiful.

[TmasterREY]

her eyes are beautiful, but so is her voice, face, and EVERYTHING.

[gracesong30]

@skate4dogfood That doesn't really make sense.... those two things are pretty independent from each other. Unless  you're trying to imply something?

[mzcrazyface16]

@theturtlefu

I know, that was my whole point. She doesn't need them.

[DigitalDogParty]

@mzcrazyface16 Kinda like J Mascis from Dinosaur Jr.. He totally seems like he would...but no. Crazy.

[mzcrazyface16]

You have to be on LSD to create this music(magic). Ask Annie she would say she has never touched it in her life.

[theturtlefu]

@mzcrazyface16 Some people are just naturally creative. They don't need to cheat and rely on drugs to be creative.

[madeyes4u]

@theturtlefu Actually, it's not cheating, it's just experimenting with drugs. You're either creative and high OR not creative and high. Doing drugs doesn't make great art.

[LizaLavolta]

the most amazing part is that her face barely moves

[blackhairedbeauty1]

I'm from Texas!!!! :D

[LIFEskatevideo09]

what program was this?

[Galt1069]

@LIFEskatevideo09 Austin City Limits, a venue that features artists in the Austin, Texas area.

[Amplifor]

this is incredible, but I have to know, anybody got any idea what guitar Annie's using?

[bobert995]

@Amplifor harmony bobkat.

[rosadeoro]

0:54-1:01 Whoa.

[Micksauce7]

The rapper Childish Gambino does a pretty sick sample of this song. Its called "Both Hand," worth checking out.

[hakujuuryo]

@Micksauce7 he did a deadly sample of this song..  it was so good that words dont do it justice

[MizzMillenium]

720p everyone! :)

[slimjimmyg]

I'm going to marry her.

[lastrockgod]

@slimjimmyg

you too?

[slimjimmyg]

@lastrockgod

Hands off buddy, I have the ring bought and everything, ha. Chance would be a fine thing, mesmerising!

[lastrockgod]

@slimjimmyg

haha right!!!

well then i'm too late i guess^^

[mpesk]

Cripes, wow. Thank you.

[dayseyemonkey]

love it

[vivelavidarocka]

I've been waiting to hear her music all my life. I'll see her live next weekend.

[hoddi15]

Robert Fripp with vagina!!!

[MrUndersolo]

@hoddi15 Ha Ha!  Interesting... That assumes Mr Fripp does not have one... ;)

[yoursaxman]

fortunately i remembered to breathe again when that was over...

[PurpleHatFilms]

The end looks like an exorcism :)

[flasherpickle]

I've waited my whole life to hear this, and I heard it last night quite unexpectedly. So beautiful. Completely in shock, this is the start of a new genre of great music.

[BloodShotNow]

@flasherpickle Not really. The majority of it reminds me of "Eleanor Rigby" by The Beatles & The end reminds me of "A Day In The Life" by The Beatles. The band that did everything first. Nonetheless beats the hell out of listening to rap

[greencoldpeas]

@BloodShotNow Don't be ignorant. Rap is legitimate.

[pnoplyr14]

@flasherpickle i don't want to sound like a hipster, but this isn't a new genre. it's baroque pop.

[rexsmiles1]

@pnoplyr14 Not a friggin chance this is pop pickle ... I would say tingles of art rock, with finishings of Post Punk riffs ...

[jordanjunkGie]

@flasherpickle fuck, how right you are

[ccm800]

I wanna cut her hair super short

[mreit28]

its called a whammy bar, deal with it

[MicahBuzan]

she's so creative

[Vertze]

I think I hear a HOG with octave bend on the expression pedal during the solo :D

Love it.

[xxPrinzesitaxx]

god damnit she's gorgeous!

[loadedwatergun44]

I remember watching this, wow!

The Version with Mr.Bird is also, amazing!

[roninseattle]

Mama Mia, that was amazing.  I've been hearing this sound, in my head, all week. Thanks for up loading this.
