haylobaybe asked:
I think about your chance encounter with St. Vincent a lot (two of my favorite people meeting on my birthday, I guess All my stars aligned). What was it like meeting her? And what are your top 5 St. Vincent songs?
I tried to be very brief because I didn’t want to be a nuisance. I told her I loved her music and she thanked me. I tried to scurry away but she said “Wait, what’s your name?”, introduced herself, and shook my hand. Then I successfully scurried.
All said, a five out of five celebrity encounter rating.
Top 5 songs in chronological order:
Landmines - I’ve had more than one relationship like this, so it very easily gets me in the heartzone. The floaty sound + the drum break a few minutes in are so good.
The Neighbors - The drums and key changes on this are great. I love the middle section from about 2 minutes to 2:35.
“How can Monday be all right
then on Tuesday lose my mind?
Tomorrow’s some kind of stranger
who I’m not supposed to see.”
Strange Mercy - Love the whole mood of this song, little bits like the “Oh little one your Hemingway jawline looks just like his,” and her sweet guitar licks.

I Prefer Your Love - Fuck, what a sweet sentiment for a song to your mother. Just beautiful.
“But all the good in me is because of you
It’s true
I prefer your love to Jesus.”

Young Lover - I’ve (thankfully) never had to deal with relationship like this, but damn. Despite the subject matter, the song is just really fun to listen to. I love the desperate energy after the key change at 2:23.
