I've only seen this thing once, (many years ago when my brain was less likely to make memories not involving Back to the Future or Kate Winslet's titanic boobs) and it still made a hell of an impression.
I don't think I laughed once, but I smiled the whole time. Koogler is a treasure and Britta Mustardface made an indelible impression. Truly heart-wrenching rise and immediate fall.
I don't get it.
I mean i'm driving some 400 miles to see her in Atlanta. I also have friends to stay with though. I don't know if that answers your question but I can only say that seeing her live is an experience that you just don't get from her albums or youtube videos. She throws herself into every single song and her guitar…
It seems you zig and zag in ways unfamiliar to me my my ilk, Snidely. I hope that one day you learn to relinquish control and embrace the nausea- i'll be there on that day, waitin' with a mop bucket and a bundle of thrice-jerked beef.
The album ain't a warm hug Snidely. It's got a biting, sharp flavor lurking underneath it's outer sheen of sunny and shimmering soundscapes.
Throwin' fancy words at the shameless is like throwin' diamonds down a manhole. Some pitiful sewer people might pick 'em up and fashion them into trinkets but the stars usually don't align that way.
You know, a lot of her fans were complaining about that, but I honestly don't see the problem. It's still a good song regardless of context, and its inclusion in a Twilight movie just means more (young) people will have heard of St. Vincent. At the end of the day, if it takes a shitty vampire saga to introduce good…
Seriously, to anyone who hasn't seen her live: Do not miss the chance. Having a front row view to her many guitar freakouts just made me respect her ability more.
1. Mutations- It's like a warm cup of coffee on a cold, rainy morning. Probably a breakfast blend with a mint julep creamer.
2. Mellow Gold- I keep coming back to this one. It's astounding how fully formed it is. Love the grimy, junkyard vibe to it.
3. The Information- Look this is the very first Beck album i'd ever…
Definitely been my favorite Beck album. It feels lived in, rich and warm. "Nobody's Fault But My Own" is filled with regret and pathos without ever being depressive. "Bottle of Blues" is a great jangly folk jam and "Canceled Check" is one of the best "country" tunes of his career. Also "Diamond Bollocks" is just…
I feel like the phrase that comes to mind for me regarding her music is "fine-tuned".
Really.
St. Vincent orders the tracks on this thing brilliantly. It really, really moves.
I followed your advice and looked it up. You were right. I didn't need to look it up.
it's not possible.
I pretty much greeted everything that happened in that movie with a resigned nod.
Don't forget The Paperboy:
Imogen Poots sounds like a children's book about farts. Imogen would probably be a mouse or something that farts at an owl's b-day party, gets all embarrassed and then learns that, indeed, everybody poots and that everyone should be ashamed of it.
