Rocking out in muted flannel colors is also perfectly acceptable, provided you don't look like you're enjoying yourself.Alex wrote:to be fair, stip thinks that anything other than sitting quietly in muted flannel colors is inauthentic

Isn't it? I'm not saying it can't be powerful or emotionally moving, but you're usually speaking someone else's dialogue and pretending to be people you are not having experiences that you didn't.durdencommatyler wrote:That would mean that theater is inherently inauthentic and I can't imagine an argument that could convince me of that.

Also, to be clear, I am not maintaining that something being authentic means that it's better.

In my humble opinion art is the truest and most valuable expression of the human experience. And theater is the most honest, real and authentic artistic expression of all artistic. There is no other artform that more accurately and completely embodies the human experience than theater. Therefore, the term "theatricality" does not mean inauthentic, but rather means as authentic as art can be.stip wrote:Isn't it?

I am probably one of the last ten people in America that still purchases everything on CD, and this is the sort of thing that makes me feel like piracy is completely justified.

I totally feel ya, friend. It's lame as all get out. But don't blame the artist. I'm sure this is a label thing and not an artist thing. Also, Amazon/iTunes is your friend. Just buy the tracks you don't already have. That's what I plan to do. Really, for me, it's only two songs. I have Pieta/Sparrow on vinyl and the Darkside remix of DW has already been released.Kevin Davis wrote:I hate when artists do this so much.

That's probably exactly what I'll do -- I enjoy having the physical product, though.
For most of my favorite artists, I have a homemade collection of "rarity" stuff -- maybe this will be a good excuse to start a St. Vincent one. Do you know what else is out there, Dct? There was that one beautiful track from "Boardwalk Empire," in this thread somewhere I think...

Yeah those deluxes reissues after less than a year seem pretty desperate.
Joey, does she plays champagne year live often?

Yeah, that song from the BE soundtrack is called 'Make Believe' and also features Vince Giordano and the Nighthawks. It's lovely.Kevin Davis wrote:That's probably exactly what I'll do -- I enjoy having the physical product, though.

Also you should check out 'Krokodil'. That's blistering and amazing. She released it as a single with 'Grot' as the b-side. 'Grot' isn't as good. Both songs came from the Strange Mercy sessions.
'These Days' is another gorgeous cover. She released that as a b-side to 'Paris is Burning' (I think).
'Oh. My. God' and 'Bicycle' are both from the Actor sessions.
Then there's 'The Antidote' from the Twilight: Breaking Dawn Soundrack, which I've heard, but only on YouTube. I don't have good copy of that one. Same with the song 'Roslyn' that she did with Bon Iver for one of the other Twilight movies.
In 2003 she released an EP called Ratsliveonnoevilstar. I've only heard one song from that, though. I liked it.
So, yeah, there's quite a bit out there.
