Me, I never look at that stuff. :)
You're more of an ears and nose guy, right?

I just got my hands on this CD but I haven't listened to it yet! I'll come back when I have!
I can not get enough of this video (or song). The oooo's kind of melt my spine at the same time as they freak me out:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZW9NY...
I really enjoyed Pitchfork's review of her new record, especially this section from the opening paragraph:
"On the covers of both her albums, her wide eyes and porcelain features give her the appearance of a cartoon princess come to life, and in the songs contained therein, she sings with the measured, patient tones of a benevolent, maternal authority figure. The thing that separates Clark from any number of earth mother Lilith Fair types, however, is her eagerness to subvert that effect. Her album covers may showcase her pretty face, but her blank expression and the tight framing leave the images feeling uncomfortably ambiguous. Her voice and arrangements are often mellow and soothing, but those sounds mainly serve as context as she exposes undercurrents of anxiety and discomfort hidden just beneath a gorgeous façade."
I haven't snagged this yet...thanks for the reminder, people...
I love Annie Clark. I have for over 3 years now.

“Actor,” St. Vincent’s sophomore album, was inspired by her favorite classic films, like “Snow White,” “Stardust Memories” and “Badlands.”
