i like the eponymous St. Vincent but man, that octaver obsession is a bit too much for my taste. when the last song arrives, the fact that it's mostly devoid of this effect is such a relief.

I wonder if Taylor Swift would have become as big as she has if Kayne didn't interrupt her.

i remember, maybe three or four years ago, when a friend of mine recommended alt-j to me, and cited it as an indie touchstone group. i listened to it and realized that i might be out of touch, and further realized that i'm okay with that.

I don't know, right before Kanye interrupted her she had just won Best Female Video of the year so I'd say she was already well on her way.

In touch is when you don't have to rely on NPR to know which Pitchfork bandwagon Stereogum has hopped onto 6 monthes ago.

Either that or bear hats.

Wait, pitchfork hates Alt-j. By liking them I'm actually being out of touch.

I've never even heard of Alt-J, so I must be REALLY out of touch.
