Why do we like this?
St. Vincent: a bad ass but melodic chanteuse. Tom Waits: a bad ass who's managed to so redefine melody (at least singing-wise) that the form is often unrecognizable when he's through with it. And yet, St. Vincent's live cover of Tom Waits's track "Big Black Mariah" works in all its bad ass glory. There's something about the discord, the screech of the guitars combined with her gasping, growling singing, that makes me revel in the intentionality of it. Which, when covering Tom Waits, is exactly the tactic one should take.
This performance was a part of the Raindogs Revisted live show, in which a line up musicians cover tracks of Waits's legendary album (and then some). Check out The Guardian's review of one of the performances here.
