Shit. SXSW. Damn it.

 

[u2popmofo]

One of my favorite venues in Utah, I may have to go.

 

[No spoken words]

The timing might be off for me to see her in LA but if I'm around, I'm in.

 

[PhilsFan]

Ooooo, I've been meaning to go to Union Transfer for the first time. Nice.

The show I saw during the Strange Mercy tour is still among my top-10 live concert experiences.

 

[iron yuppie]

The show I saw during the Strange Mercy tour is still among my top-10 live concert experiences.

Same for me. She's got to be among the top three or so guitarists active at the moment.

 

[u2popmofo]

Is Wes Borland one of the other two?

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Yes, and his brother Al plays a mean axe as well.

Me too. And easily the best female act I've seen. I was blown away.

Really encourage anyone who hasn't heard this track to do so. It's fucking badass. Was the b-side to the Krokodil RSD.

Uhh $15 shipping and a 12" that has two tracks that are already on the LP? I'll pass. Good price on the digital for you digital cats though.

 

[gump]

Was going to post the same thing. The golden triangle LP thing is somewhat appealing, but not for that price. 50 dollars for an album!

Pre-sale for US venues start today in 5 minutes, gang. http://ilovestvincent.com/#tour

Freakin' CrowdSurge website failed me today. I'll have to try again tomorrow...

 

[trojanchick99]

Will be hitting up that presale at 10 for tickets to The Wiltern.

 

[LemonMelon]

I like the new track. It would be one of the worst tracks on Strange Mercy, but that's one of the best albums of the decade so far, so it's a tall order to stay at that level. I think it's great that she continues to put emphasis on the guitar, which is the main reason I listen to her music.

Marry Me was the last album of hers that I heard and it sounds maudlin compared to everything that followed.

 

[cobl04]

I'm listening to Strange Mercy this morning. It's so great.

 

[gump]

Yeah, Strange Mercy is awesome. Surgeon

 

[Lancemc]

Strange Mercy is close to perfect for me.

 

[lazarus]

Liking the new song, though "Birth In Reverse" sounds like Lance's Mom charging someone $5 to squeeze his head in.

 

[gump]

Given the song's first two lines, I can see the association.

[cobl04]

Jesus you were quick.

This album is gonna be the tits. Can't wait.

 

[iron yuppie]

Sounds like touring with David Byrne had an influence on her sound. That's certainly a good thing.

 

[Imperor]

This track is on some "Marrow" shit to these ears. I'm liking it a ton more than "Birth in Reverse."

 

[gump]

I dig this. One of my most anticipated albums of 2014.

 

[agentorange]

Sounds great.

I may be examining her too much, but... that photo's moving, isn't it?

 

[cobl04]

yep.

 

[u2popmofo]

I'm liking it a ton more than "Birth in Reverse."

Same here.
