BAM had a virtual gala tonight because they couldn't do their usual in person event. Obviously.
St. Vincent performed New York. Just her and a guitar. It was so gorgeous. As much as I've loved that song since first listen, it really took on new meaning and significance tonight. Of course I cried. The performance was everything.
I'm glad they decided to put that up! Originally BAM said it was a Livestream only performance and they wouldn't include it later. But the performance is so captivating that more people deserve to see it.
"I felt I had gone as far as I could possibly go with angularity. I was interested in going back to the music I’ve listened to more than any other—Stevie Wonder records from the early ’70s, Sly and the Family Stone. I studied at the feet of those masters,” according to Stereogum.

Oh, I'm all the way in!
Yeah, I'm intrigued by this. My favorite St. Vincent songs -- "Strange Mercy," "Cruel," "Severed Crossed Fingers" -- have always had just a touch of this in them, I will be curious to see if these comments mean what I hope they will mean.

I know I left a few non-album songs off the list. I just did it from memory. I didn't have her full comprehensive song list in front of me. As I think of other songs, I'll go back in and add them, maybe.
