On Tuesday we went to the Sony Centre for one of the best concerts I’ve ever seen: St. Vincent, on her Masseduction tour. The performance was so stylish and sharp and overwhelming, and the music was just as good live as on the albums, and she fucking shreds on guitar. A couple of times it was so good that I actually welled up, just from the sheer awesomeness. It was made all the better by the crowd being so into it (except the two dunces standing next to Lindsay). What an experience.

The set list:

1. Sugarboy
2. Los Ageless
3. Masseduction
4. Savior
5. Huey Newton
6. Year of the Tiger
7. Marrow
8. Pills
9. Cruel
10. Cheerleader
11. Digital Witness
12. Rattlesnake
13. Hysterical Strength
14. Young Lover
15. Fear the Future
16. Slow Disco
17. New York
18. Smoking Section
19. Happy Birthday, Johnny
20. Severed Crossed Fingers

Also: before the concert we tried East 36, which used to be Lucien, and it…wasn’t very good. I mean, our cocktails were good, but after that the problems began: our oysters were served without any sauces, my confit duck leg was too fatty (even for confit duck!), and Lindsay’s NY strip was like shoe leather. Lindsay’s Cab was okay, but my Pinot was rubbish. Don’t think we’ll be going back there anytime soon.
