St. Vincent @ Largo 5/10/07

St. Vincent (or Annie Clark) is my new girlfriend.  She just doens't know it yet.  She's adorable and plays a mean guitar.  She plays with Sufjan AND Tim Delaughter and covers Jackson Browne.  She is cute and makes funny, deadpan remarks during her banter time.  I might be in love.

I first read about her at Gorilla Vs. Bear who has been hyping her for what seems like years.  It's great to hear so much buzz about someone only t0 see them live and realize it is all very true. 

When you talk about true performers who can blow a crowd away, you are talking about Annie Clark.  My jaw was open the entire set watching her sing, stomp, and play her way into my heart.  She destroyed John Vanderslice.  So much so, that we didn't even stay for his entire set.  We all felt that we had seen the main act. 

I kept thinking watching her set that she reminded me of a much better, more talented, more accessible Nellie McKay.  McKay made a splash a few years back for her work on the anti-folk scene in New York.  The media soon labeled her an anti-Norah Jones and she signed to Columbia.  She put out one album to good reviews and her second album was shelved only for her to release it herself.  Regardless, there are aspects of her stage show and her music that  remind me a lot of Nellie.  But, I think St. Vincent has the ability to be way more accessible and enjoyable. 

She is opening up for Arcade Fire next week in Canada and has her debut album coming out on July 10 on Beggars Group (same label as the National).

I think you need a bit more of a story with this as this isn't really a news story in its current form. Perhaps you could write about why you like Michael so much?9

We must not allow our creative protestto degenerate into physical violence. again and again we mustrise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soulforce. the marvelous new militancy which has engulfed the negrocommunity must not lead us to distrust of all white people, formany of our white brothers, as evidenced by their presence heretoday, have come to realize that their destiny is tied up withour destiny and their freedom is inextricably bound to ourfreedom.

Residents of the government-sponsored Arcosur development project, which aims to build more than 21,000 homes for people aged 20 to 35, chose videogames over more traditional

options for their new area. "We are people who grew up living with video games. We know them very well," said neighborhood association president Antonio Almudi Miranda. "I'm 25.

I'm the same age as Mario."
