Tune In Saturdays: Prototypes (with a little extra love)
Well, since I seem to be all frenched out lately (and realized I've unwittingly started the personal meme of listening to french pop whenever I fly), I thought I'd back up to the band that kicked off the latest round, The Prototypes, a grungy electro-pop band from Paris.
And yes, this one is really short because I'm super mad right now.
Prototypes - Je Ne Te Connais Pas (mp3)
Prototypes - Who's Gonna Sing (video)
You may have heard my raving about the lovely and talented Annie Clark (here and here). She was the first tune in feature, even before it turned into tune in saturdays. And after a year of fairly grandiose proclamations of her impending greatness, Tuesday it all comes true. Her first album as St. Vincent will be released on Beggars Banquet records.
The press is fucking loving her.
And, I'm mad. I've seen her a couple times, but she also played last night (only back in my old college stomping grounds of Denton, Tx). Unfortunately, this was her first time to play with a full band, and I knew nothing about it. So I was lazy, and just went out in Dallas.
So fuckin' a, I'm road tripping it. Kansas City is her next closest stop, so July 26th, assuming no major hiccups, I'll be there. American Copywriter guys, please have a beer prepared. Anybody else live out there that I'm missing?
Here's Annie's new stuff...
St. Vincent - The Apocalypse Song (mp3)
St. Vincent - Now, Now. (mp3)
Fucking, fucking, fucking brilliant, people.
