St. Vincent’s “Cruel”
September 5th, 2011 
Daniel Fincke I cannot figure out what I love more, her brilliant music or her unique and remarkable theatrically controlled facial expressions. Her videos always mesmerize me, she’s positively electric on stage, and the songs get deep under the skin. She’s one of the best of our time. Support genius, pick up Strange Mercy. Your Thoughts?

“Beware The Believers”
January 31st, 2011 Daniel Fincke I have no idea whether this parody (which is several years old) is actually against us or is just irreverently for us. I think that’s part of why I like it so much. That, and it’s totally well made, mesmerizingly bizarre, and undeniably hilarious in its visuals: (NSFW) Okay, after writing the above, I did [...]
