John

Srsly, Vanderslice = Dance Party. If you ever doubted it in the past, doubt no more. I also now have a stronger memory of why Mercury Lounge rules. The sound was pretty much perfect. And watching John play guitar is fun. He was my Guitar Hero for the night.” [vert’s livejournal]

Annie

By the way, St. Vincent (Annie Clark of Polyphonic Spree fame) is my new obsession. I can’t remember the last time I fell so hard for a musician that I had never even heard of before. She sings, plays guitar, bass, piano, synth, and does all this cool programming stuff. She’s charming and delightful and a seriously skilled and interesting guitarist. She was like…I don’t even want to insult her by comparing her to other female singer/songwriter types. Do yourself a favor and check out her myspace page or better yet see her live cause I don’t think she’ll be playing tiny venues for much longer. Look for her album coming out soon on Beggars Banquet.
