Current Top 10:
1. Cruel
2. Los Ageless
3. Digital Witness
4. Marrow
5. Surgeon
6. Your Lips Are Red
7. Bring Me Your Loves
8. Strange Mercy
9. Save Me From What I Want
10. Happy Birthday Johnny

Thing is... there's not one single song on that list that I'd be mad at someone having in their #1 spot. Those are all fantastic tracks.

Maybe this is why I have such a hard time getting a grip on that song.

I'm with you, SDC. It's taken me a long time to really "get" Pills. I've always loved the last third of the song, but it's a tough track.

There's some speculation going on about Masseduction acoustic dropping in September.

Just saw St. Vincent destroy the opener slot before Florence & The Machine. Wife & I were grooving hard, appeared to be the only ones in our section doing so. The band arrangements were super locked in. I’m trying to convince her we should leave now..

Setlist as I remember it:

Sugarboy
Los Ageless
Masseduction
Savior
Cheerleader
Marrow (!!!)
Fear the Future
Pills
Digital Witness
New York
Fast Slow Disco

Pills with the band arrangement was so much better than the album or solo tour/backing track versions. Made me love the song a lot more.

For the record, we did not leave after St. Vincent. Which was smart because Florence was really fucking good. Greatly exceeded my expectations. Impressive production all around, and she was an A+ level performer. Fantastic night of music.

Florence was awesome. She has so much energy, and can really sing well live.

Made sure too get there early enough to see St. Vincent. Despite not being too familiar with her music, I thought she was really good.
