The wonderful Annie Clark, otherwise known as St. Vincent, is playing a gig tonight in Cincinnati in support of Actor, which will likely wind up topping my likely terrible year-end album list, should one miraculously appear. St. Vincent preformed at Bonnaroo this year, so I know what to expect, but I have a sneaking suspicion that her music is better appreciated in a concert hall, as opposed to an open stage amongst the shirtless, sweaty masses.
Andrew Bird, who also preformed at Bonnaroo, is technically the main event of the night, but I've seen Bird in the past, and, while I'm a fan of his stuff, he's never managed to catch me live. I haven't really listened to anything of his since 2008's Soldier On EP, but this has been somewhat of a banner year for Bird, as his Noble Beasts is one of the latest indie releases to chart high, hitting #12 on the Billboard album charts way back in January.
I'm pretty terrible when it comes to writing up my experiences at concerts, so if you're one of the few people out there who might care to read about what I thought about the show, I'd advise you to not hold your breath. I just figured I'd use this time to demonstrate how cool, hip, and bleeding edge I am, and to post a few St. Vincent videos.
"Actor Out of Work"
"Dig A Pony" (The Beatles cover, obviously)
"Marrow"
"Jesus Saves, I Spend"
And, for the hell of it, the best Andrew Bird clip ever...
