as much as i love strange mercy, this live band and this style of music is SO much better suited to annie's talents. she seems to have really wanted to get away from being seen as a jazz or soft pop musician. instead going for an indie/experimental rock sound and image. that decision has probably introduced her to a wider audience, which is great.
but musically, i'd rather see this band playing 'the bed' than her new group doing 'year of the tiger' any day.
haha i forgot i was viewing this because i went to go clean for a bit and thought it was the album version. i was thinking "i'm pretty sure there wasn't an applause after the song." that's how perfect st vincent is.
My friend asked me if it was possible to masturbate without using your hands. I showed him this song and now he's upset because it ruined his favorite pants :)
It's a breath of fresh air to hear somebody who can actually perform live. I just saw this on tv, and I had to check it out again because I came in on the end of their performance of Marrow...she's a wonderful artist.
@clazzofoeight Hey! Same here, I only saw the last song they performed "Your Lips Are Red" Totally diggin St Vincent, her style reminds me of Bjork.. but better.
mesmerizing

this song is so intriguing, i had to figure out the chords. couldn't find any tabs on the internet.
verse: F# (she changes inversions of the chord and sometimes changes to D#min7 but its hard to tell when)
pre-ch: A# - D#min - A#7
chorus: Dmaj7 - Fmaj7 - Amin(add9) - D#min(b6) - D#sus2
instrumental bit: F#min(major 6) (flute violin doing runs through the scale)
i think this is correct or very close. hope somebody else enjoys learning this song as much as i did.

@elPAPIchulo613
1. Why are you and your friend talking about alternative ways to masturbate?
2. Why do you even need a different way to masturbate? The standard way is good enough.
3. Why the fuck would you watch your friend ejaculate in his favorite pants? What a terrible friend you are.

@asianmatt2012 1. why don't we talk about all the different alternatives for masturbation?
2. the standard way is not good enough for the non musically challenged
3. He told me he ruined his Levi's. i wouldnt like watching him do that.
