no, that's why she's shit...heard she's got a band called Snarky Cunt where she just stands there and screams she's still got credibility even though she's 98 yrs old
it doesn't really work when the audience thinks the tirade of part of the act..."Whooo...Jack White told me to fuck off..." A better response would have been to stop playing, glare at the audience, walk off in disgust and not return. The bitch-fuck-cunt-insiders would have stood there for about one minute until they found the next thing to race off to and gain access for free
Ann just needs to disappear. She's reached the point where she realizes she got a platform for her 15 minutes and milks it for all it's worth. It's not about the music. It's about her mugging for the camera and making what she thinks are snarky remarks about music. She's not better than any of the self-absorbed wanks from The Hills. Punch her in the face now...
I would have thought this would sound a bit more...ominous, experimental, unnerving, threatening. Interesting listen yet nothing I'll be giving a deeper listen. Solid yet dissipates once the songs are done. Why did I get the feeling this will be a big hit on (blah) KCRW?
I saw her play at The Smell on Sunday...and it wasn't a good performance. Love the album and hoped she'd be great. Granted she went on at 11:50 pm. Her performance reminded me of early Cat Power performances: major stage fright, refusing to acknowledge the audience in any small manner, blasting through a 35 minute set just to get done, major technical glitches. I could go on yet I think it would rather unfair since Grouper started out as a solitary lo-fi 'bedroom' project. All I know is I am selling my Animal Collective ticket for their show in LA because they kinda bore me and she possibly won't resolve her issues before the show at the Wiltern.
'what female singer sounds like that? none that I know of.' try Band of Susans for one. Oh wait, your musical knowledge goes only back to 2002...idiot.
it's not a question of hating. hell, i saw M83 three times last year. it's just that his shows got less spectacular and more formulaic with each performance. now Sire (read Warner Records) pushed him into this bland mixture of orchestral and ambient crapfest in order to make more money for their failing music industry. sure, he released his collection of ambient soundscapes before releasing Saturdays=Youth but he never went on tour for that disc.
oh please, the only reason she got into music wasn't because of Radiohead. it was because her father needed another source of revenue since his country music days were washed up. she should take her Jesus-promise ring and cram it up her ass
Try "Dull Life" from the new CD and see if you still think they're going synth...get pass the first three songs and you'll see they haven't lost the rock!
Definitely in agreement with Joey. Brandon has turned me on to many, many different artists that I would never have the time (or patience) to filter through. Thank you so much, Brandon.
let's hope they can honor these dates. The first LA show for Friday 1/23 was canceled due to illness. Yet the following night's date at the Troubadour is still on...
That photo really proves nothing. The majority of the time "celebrities" have no idea who they are taking photos with. With his fucking ego, Kanye probably thought Colbert was just some record exec.
Where's Street Horrrsing by Fuck Buttons, Dragging a Dead Deer up a Hill by Grouper, Saint Dymphna by Gang Gang Dance or Laulu Laakson Kukista by Paavoharju?
