It's post about cute girls day! Yippee! Next up: Annie Clark, who performs under the moniker St. Vincent. She's recently signed to Beggar's Banquet, and the label is slated to release her debut Marry Me on July 10. I answer "yes" to that album title. In the track of the same name (check it out over at her MySpace) she even pleads, "Marry me, John." It's like she's talking right to me! But then again, I'm already married, so that might complicate things.
How cool is Ms. Clark? Super duper cool. Girl's only 23 and has already served time in the Polyphonic Spree and Sufjan Stevens' backing band. (Where does that dude find all these cute, talented young women?) How does she sound? A lot like Becky Stark of Lavender Diamond, which is a good thing. How can you hear more of Clark's music? How about by catching her on tour with John Vanderslice. Reference this previous post for those dates.
In completely unrelated news, the Hollywood Hills above me are on fire right now. Which is both frightening for my personal safety yet kind of cool in a way. The flames are close to the Hollywood sign itself. Burn, Hollywood, burn!
