villa4europe Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 i always thought it was a tax man thing, America has whatever weird set up where they're all doing their own and then getting huge tax bills because they do it wrong and unless you're wesley snipes you have to do a bit of quick work to settle the tab if you owe the IRS $250,000 you get your agent to get you an advert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 St. Vincent. I'm not buying it. It's pretentious. It's contrived. She's attractive, but I think if she weren't, there wouldn't be a career there. Just underwhelming. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She’s a seriously excellent guitarist, so I think even if she was “just” a session musician, she’d have a career. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only is she absolutely adorable, she's an incredibly talented, creative musician...which makes me think I should enjoy her music—but nope, there's absolutely nothing in there for me. Every time she comes out with a new album, I think to myself, "Oh, well maybe she's stumbled upon something I like this time." But not yet. Not yet.

I want to like her! When I want to like someone, I can almost always find something in there to grab onto. But nope. She's got no edge, nothing...there's no pulse to it, no substance, nothing pithy. It's just noodling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His song “There She Goes My Beautiful World” (off Abbotoir Blues/ Lyre of Orpheus) has a line about Dylan Thomas dying drunk in St Vincent Hospital, and that's where the St Vincent moniker comes from 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
