St Vincent - Cruel on Letterman 8-29-11

[rutherfordmarshsears]

Her eyes look dead

[futboler123]

i know the showing of the right leg is an old dress style, but this being recent. annie wore it before and better than angelina, just saying... im kinda stoned

[HellllloDere]

Yo this chick is a babe. Sings like an angel and shreds like a baws AH Yee!

[nugster1]

Annie Clark is so beautiful.

[bagimboo]

Best riff ever

[biffbuttsavage]

uhhhhhh pleasehavemychildrenheavencome­soutofyourmouthwhenyousing. Why am I sweaty?

[AutumnLaws94]

4 people got taken and left by someone casually cruel.

[beatles0072]

I'm amazed how she sings and plays the guitar riff at the same time

[jobrosfan1613]

so beautiful :)

[TheHareBand]

anyone know what pedals she's using on that guitar?

[theFuzzduck]

@TheHareBand According to wiki "As of late 2011, her pedal board includes the following: Korg PitchBlack, DBA Interstellar Overdriver Supreme, ZVex Mastotron Fuzz, Eventide Pitchfactor, Eventide Space, BOSS PS-5 Super Shifter, Moog EP-2 Expression Pedal. All her pedals are controlled by a MasterMind MIDI Foot Controller."

[MetallicPuppetMaster]

@TheHareBand um, all of em i think...

[forgettingxoctober]

Does anyone know if she is single

[NeptuneSeaking]

How come Dave gets all the good bands?

[andomamern]

@NeptuneSeaking But Fallon gets all of the good bands.  All of them.

[ilovesteves]

But I'm sure the donk would be in it... maybe Letterman mix or something

[ilovesteves]

Having said that... sure it's just the bandwidth thing where the music gets compressed to hell. Sure she is great in RLLLLLLLLL

[ilovesteves]

I swear in the recording there is like a funk bass 'donk' on every kick that just seemed missing. i hate to sound like one of those dubstep bro's who are like 'this shit didn't kick in' but she needs to put a donk on it in my opinion. Everything else was pretty awesome though.

[sacre]

@ilovesteves would that be a Radcliffe & Maconie-style bangin' donk, or just your regular type? ;)

[toribjork10]

i don't like this song live at all.... sorry annie! the album version is absolutely killer, but this just lacks the punch. still incredibly talented though.

[hameed]

fap fap fap fap fap fap fap fap fap

[WNF]

that back-up singer looks like Florence + The Machine

[amoslieber]

One of my favorite guitarists

[errantknight100]

I'm in love! big big sigh!

[zhunt]

our creator?

[RockstarHunter]

@zhunt He means Xenu.

[peniscozy]

Annie, come back to Boston!

[michaeljohnmcgarry]

think Norah Jones and Alyssa Milano

[mrmattcohn]

The funk was brought.

[gatodz03]

She looks like Alyssa Milano...Great perfomance!

[MstislavMetallov]

Фуз у неё на гитаре классный, и поёт с душой!)

[blatantblithe]

She looks really happy to be performing :)

[Anticsize]

MOOG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[dandelionkicks]

damn! i wish i was the person she looked to at 0:42

[jonahbrooke]

the most amazing part of all of this is: she is only just playing around! My dreams may not even have the depth to see how wonderful our Jewel our perfect rose will blossom! Oh, Annie!

[rustykeys178]

I find this enchanting, I can't stop watching it !

[joed1966]

Gorgeous and brilliant artist.

[BOOMDIGIDYable]

What specific model guitar is she playing?

[manderbos]

Something about her or her voice,or maybe the music style reminds me of Annie Lennox. I can't put my finger on what it is yet. Still love Annie better though.

[LazersaurusRex]

@manderbos Which Annie?

[manderbos]

@LazersaurusRex Lennox

[LazersaurusRex]

@manderbos Just wondering, seeing as they are both named Annie and stuff.

[DornSupremacy]

@manderbos noah

[rustykeys178]

@manderbos Come on don't sell her short, shes better looking than Annie Lennox

[fortsmithow]

I like the music, but they seriously need a bass guitar

[AcroGuy111]

The snare's tone is just so..... wow.

[MultiGlassOnion]

Good song, though I could do without the bad disco drumbeat....

[vacuumnoise]

is that Ikue Mori in the back?

[gufreter]

She does not belong in the kitchen

[mikefiftynine]

@gufreter ha ha u can say that again!

[gufreter]

@mikefiftynine she does not belong in the kitchen there

[littlemite14]

mhmm there ya go!

[Incredibadder]

I see that She has the Beatles as an influence when writing this song indeed.

[WolfataDoor]

sinGer sonG writer

fucking letterman

[toastvision]

i never liked letterman as a talk show host, but he always has an amazing musical act. he has truly great taste.

[sickb2200]

Interesting guitar selection.

[bennymutant]

She's amazing.

[BlueSpawnRecords]

reminds me of brazil. kate bush...wow...I dig this chick.

[jackjude]

oh my

[musiccrater1980]

she is incredible because she sounds two times better when she sing live!The one things which make me think that she exists between dream and reality --are the ,,dirty'' sounds that she plays on the guitar.It would be drab and bland without this kind of sound.It's like a small bautiful scarf that had a girl which once I saw in the tram.

-I'm looking at you and I have to say that this scarf adds more charm to your face.

-Yes I know other boys told the same

[RyWagner2]

She makes soloing in heels look really easy.

[EricaLynneCharles]

She's fucking beautiful and has a beautiful voice. I cannot believe I missed her show. I'm a fool. :( #neverforgivingmyself

[aroryboreallen]

I think I like her hair more what it's not done up

[CorbeezeJD]

I sort of came.

[RyWagner2]

This is my first listen to St.Vincent and I was completely caught off guard by how amazingly funky her sound is!

[MuddyTonic]

magnificent

[mattgab19]

+1 for talent.

[Gingerpiebowtie]

I want to be like her when I grow up -3

[uberstuff5]

Sing-errrr Song-uhhh-writer.

I lol'd

[PuddzyBuddzy]

letterman was nervous

[novaya9]

Perfect creativity!!!! love Marrow TOO .....Sono Proprio inamorato con questi musicisti!!!!!!PORCA MISERIA!!!!

[norbertocastro]

Sim, é muito bom mesmo. Recomendo!

[RuaTheRapoet]

I'm really liking the lyrics in these new songs. Very social-change ready

[ecivideo]

Loved the song @ performance. But as a fellow musician, I would lose the crapy Harmony guitar. It might look cool for a photo shoot or video, but it's cheap pickups are not helping your live sound IMO.

[sqharaway]

@ecivideo Annie Clark hardly needs your advice.

[CameronEtc]

@ecivideo Nope, wrong

[pinecomb14]

@ecivideo you're crazy! what do you work at guitar center? or go to music school? or both? that guitar sounds awesome and the sound is completely intentional!

[fakeplasticdreams]

@ecivideo Her pickup sounds fine. Its the mix on broadcast which compresses the shit out of everything. typical for most tv show performance.

[migol1984]

@ecivideo i'm not even into this song or this band, but i really hate stupid pointless opinions like this. just my own opinion.

[killingspree]

@ecivideo agreed harmony sucks

[bigchiefmsu]

those pumps working the wha-wha.....I'm not John, but please marry me Annie

[certainromance24]

I love this song, but I would prefer if she used the double microphone instead of having backing singers

[jamiejame1107]

This is how you rock and look elegant at the same time! She does it so well!

[addjames]

This is amazing. Thank you for posting the download link.

[The84camerondurkin]

Oh Annie. You're perfect.

[GreyJazz90]

This woman is incredible in every aspect.

[F4evrsoon]

Thank you for posting cuz my DVR became ridiculous! I KNEW you'd come thru! :)

[essemmetv]

That's Toko of Enon on the Moog! YAY!

[mariovillegas777]

she's beautiful. our creator must have taken his time perfecting her. i'm in love with st. vincent.

[EddieRanger1989]

I was hoping she would perform Surgeon, but this will satisfy my orgasmic rage for St Vincent.

[MedicalMilk]

This song is so yummy.
