Support the independent voice of Dallas and help keep the future of Dallas Observer free.
Whilst doing a little MP3 blog trolling over the weekend, we stumbled across a pleasant surprise: The night after DC-9 Park fave St. Vincent joined the likes of Peter and the Wolf, Doug Burr, Tame...Tame and Quiet and other notables at the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, music blog Lullabyes posted the entirety of Annie Clark's show.
And while the whole set's worth downloading, there are some highlights you oughta grab ASAP: Clark's covers of Jackson Browne ("These Days") and the Beatles ("Dig a Pony") and, from her solo debut, "Your Lips Are Red" (and, like, wow) and "Now. Now." And, fine, the rest of it -- save for, oh, the "tech issues," during which she threatens nothing but Bob Seeger covers and six performances of Don McLean's "American Pie."
Also, thanks to Gorilla vs. Bear, we were tipped off to the wonderful cover of Clark's "Marry Me," as performed by in Boston last month by Amanda Palmer of the Dresden Dolls. -- Robert Wilonsky
Keep the Dallas Observer Free... Since we started the Dallas Observer, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Dallas, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Dallas with no paywalls.
