Heh, Portlandia was great...
St Vincent's pretty cool. Some of her fanboys tend towards the "rabid" end of the spectrum, but I guess that's to be expected.
I'd kinda like to hear her fronting a more conventional rock band, or even something shoegazy/grungy. I guess I'll just hold out for that St Vincent/Silversun Pickups collab that's clearly right around the corner.
That Have a Nice Life link's pretty great. Sounds like they'd be awesome live...
