What would you expect a St. Vincent show to be like? If last time was any indication, we could've anticipated a "sweet-tart voice" interspersed with "accomplished freakouts" on guitar. As Pitchfork put it, St. Vincent (real name: Annie Clark) projects "an aura of eerie perfection"; she's "beautiful, poised, good-humored, and well-adjusted to a degree uncommon for rock performers." And Clark's impeccable persona isn't limited to the music. She's as beautiful as her voice would lead you to expect. The name of her website is impossibly precious: http://www.ilovestvincent.com/. She even tweets about Barthes. Come on!

Yesterday, we described him as "Jens Lenkman with a banjo or Peter Bjorn and John except only one person." After seeing the Tallest Man on Earth at the Brattle last night, we stand by this description, and can provide further proof of TMoE's quirkiness. Presented by World Music/CRASHarts, the show provided a nice blend of cute antics and quality music, and the Brattle proved to be a surprisingly nice setting for a show.
