I really think St. Vincent is one of the best artists around right now. Her two albums, Marry Me and Actor, are two of the best I've heard in the last ten years.

Here's a sampling of her work:

Very good indeed and certainly different....I wonder why she chooses to play "clean" electric guitar instead of an acoustic?

Music. The making of The Prodigy's - "Smack my bitch up". Would you like to try a sample? Fascinating stuff.

Henry Cow performing live in 1976 (sympathetically filmed by Swiss TV with no gimmicky special effects). The kind of thing that would be lost and forgotten were it not for YouTube (praise be!) and a cultural artefact of immense importance (apparently, the only live footage of Henry Cow extant). Amazing singing from the cherub-faced Dagmar Krause (whose singing is directly influenced by Schoenberg's pioneering use of sprechstimme - a kind of speech-singing - in Pierrot Lunaire) and great work from Fred Frith on guitar and Chris Cutler on drums, but really, soloists had no place in a band this good - everybody simply served the music collectively (which probably suited the Marxists in this band). My exposure to Henry Cow was one of the pivotal music lessons of my early teens (along with Zappa) and which opened my mind to many alternative types of music. Initially, a steep learning curve but the rewards have been immense and the musical doorways are still opening for me as a result.

WOW?!?!? Can't wait to see these later. Thanks Paul, you're a genius :-)

Had a quick look at the first one and I can't believe how lovely Dagmar looks in the flesh.My initial rection was, God, she sounds just like our Peter (Hamill)?!?!
