I like her. Her original music is really good.

Huh, never heard of her before. I like her style of playing and singing, both a little spastic but in a way I appreciate. Did not like the guitar tone though, too harsh / metallic for my ears.

yea, her original music is amazing. it was actually that episode of ACL that made me fall in love with her art. I was just flipping through, and on a whim, I saw her and was completely hypnotized for 40-something minutes. "blown away" doesn't even describe my reaction. I think she's my favorite artist since I got into Zappa. she needs to be my wife, pronto. lol.

Now I'm extra bummed that I missed the Andrew Bird/St. Vincent show when they toured together.  He always plays with amazing openers (like Loney Dear, freaking EPIC set), seems like it would have been crazy mind-blowing considering he sometimes plays a song or two with the opening act.  I recently read an interview with her about her music, and I thought she had some really positive things to say, especially about being a female musician.

The entire ACL episode with the two of them is here: http://video.pbs.org/video/1287561166/

The beginning of that song sounded Philip Glass-ish, the rest sounded Zappa-ish.
Cool.

When I listened, I knew it reminded me of SOMETHING. Philip Glass, yes! Good call  :icon_thumright:
