St. Vincent - Bad Penny / Kerosene [Big Black] (Bowery Ballroom, 5.22.2011)

[Corkskrew999]

Decent!

2 people's girlfriends were fucked by st. vincent

[Polyfusia]

St.Vincent and The Joy Formidable have both come to prominence in the past three years. I hated every new act for almost 10 years. Things are changing, in small ways. If you like St.Vincent and Annie Clark, check out "My Beerdrunk Soul Is Sadder Than 100 Dead Christmas Tree's" by The Joy Formidable. I may have slightly botched the title of that song, but you'll find it.

I don't even mind that she screwed up the lyrics, because as The84camerondurkin put it so well, this. is. sexy.

[SquareHeadSlacker]

Lame.

[mchao23]

@mosesismoses23 @SquareHeadSlacker idiots

[CrucifyTheBastard]

Guy at the beginning sounds like Jerry Seinfeld.

[mosesismoses23]

Awful. Their posturing makes this almost impossible to watch. I love Shellac but this is toothless.

[180outofphase]

This is awesome!

[newsom192]

Dayum.

[dargibbles]

she can set me on fire

[The84camerondurkin]

Is that Eugene? Awesome. By the way, Annie Clark kills it here. There's nothing more attractive than a woman who plays like THAT!

[lagodacisne]

@The84camerondurkin no, it's in manhattan

[kevpark21]

I love Big Black, and St. Vincent does these songs justice.

[109popsicles]

This is sublime.

[xPsuedo]

albini would be proud. or should be proud. hopefully, because i thought this was awesome.

[LoveFromBelow1993]

@xPsuedo Albini would probably say there should be more noise. He'd find something wrong with it. He hates everything and everyone.

[ddovey]

@LoveFromBelow1993 LOL you're a dick. Actually, Albini said it was "a fine version", in particular pointing out that he thought the drummer really nailed it.

[LoveFromBelow1993]

@ddovey haha yeah, I actually think it's really great. My friend's been trying to tell me how good she is for ages and I didn't really get it until I saw this <3

[binghott]

Her performance was epic! I really hope someone has a better audio recording

[421moria]

@binghott there's a pretty good audio recording (no video) on NPR's website.

[binghott]

@421moria thanks! Is there any way to download it?

[georgekrz]

so awesome, i cant get enough. the person shooting this deserves a medal.

[tkprtyrhd87]

This was mindblowing
