Anda já por aí o segundo disco da musa indie Annie Clark, que usa o nome de palco St. Vincent. Já por aqui o referimos, relembrando apenas o nome: "Actor".
A NPR (mais uma vez, a NPR!) disponibilizou o concerto de St. Vincent no Black Cat de Washington, D.C., cujo ficheiro mp3 se deixa aqui em baixo.

O pessoal da região Centro tem tido uma semana atarefada de concertos: Domingo à noite, o fabuloso e hipnótico concerto dos Woven Hands (com primeira parte competente de Nuno Rancho - bela garganta), no Teatro Miguel Franco, em Leiria, no âmbito das iniciativas do Festival Fade In; depois, o "Indie Songs Don't Lie", em Coimbra - de que falei aqui; em Aveiro, houve Kimya Dawson, no Mercado Negro...

A semana acaba, por aquelas bandas, com os concertos de hoje à noite de Matt Elliott (na foto), no Salão Brasil, em Coimbra; e mais um concerto, em Leiria, do Festival Fade In: God Is An Astronaut, com primeira parte dos autóctones All-Star Project (que me parece já estar, a esta hora, esgotado...).

Ainda sobre os concertos Fade In, marquem nas vossas agendas a actuação de Baby Dee, dia 5 de Junho, em Leiria, pois claro - voltaremos a este tema.

She came from Spencer
Across the hill
She said her pa had sent her
’cause the coal was low
And soon the snow
Would turn the skies to winter

She said she’d come
To look for work
She was not seeking favors
And for a dime a day
And a place to stay
She’d turn those hands to labor

But the times were hard, Lord,
The jobs were few
All through Tecumseh Valley
But she asked around
And a job she found
Tending bar at Gypsy Sally’s

She saved enough to get back home
When spring replaced the winter
But her dreams were denied
Her pa had died
The word come down from Spencer

So she turned to whorin’ out on the streets
With all the lust inside her
And it was many a man
Returned again
To lay himself beside her

They found her down beneath the stairs
