Wait, it gets better. On stage along with St. Vincent 's Annie Clark and Sleigh Bells ' Alexis Krauss are none other than Rosie O'Donnell (on percussion) and the woman behind the 802s hit herself, Cyndi Lauper. This performance was from a benefit concert last night, which was a part of Lauper's True Colors Fund . The purpose of the charity is to help homeless LGBT youth. Watch the performance below.

"Which one of us looks tired? The one in his pyjamas? He always looks like that. But yeah, we are tired. It's a perpetual tiredness." It may not be Zachary Cole Smith that we're here referring to, though he doesn't look quite as he may in his every unblemished and faintly ethereal press shot: sprawled out, his skin soaked in bluish biro faded over whiled away afternoons. No, in the flesh, his is a far more boyish charm; a striking, childish guile. He resembles Link of The Legend of Zelda splattered in NYC thrift store garb, [...]

So it was a somewhat blustery Hallowe'en one – same as every year, or so it'd seem. And whilst the Samhain celebration ushering in that eternally damned darker half of the year may occur annually, and with the unerring tedium of the equivalently wretched wallet-voiding guising it entails, down round The Forum a momentous sense of occasion did brood. A one-off exclusive; a "late night double feature." Not since 2007 have Tim DeLaughter's The Polyphonic Spree been about these dank and windswept parts, and indeed in the interim period the boys and girls in the floor-length [...]

The term "supergroup" is often used to refer to a set of musicians who are best known in association with their respective bands - musicians who haven't necessarily operated as solitary acts in their own right, and are culled together to see what their individual untapped energies will create when synthesized. By contrast, when speaking [...]

It may take a few glances to pinpoint what exactly is off about the cover art on Love This Giant , a new collaboration between David Byrne and St. Vincen t released September 10 on 4AD and Todo Mundo .  The former Talking Heads frontman and the beautiful indie pop star, pictured in black and white suits, make a striking pair - and once you notice their slightly modified jawlines, that off ness becomes not a bad thing, but simply a random weird addition to [...]

Scientists and historians might have disproved the whole Mayan calendar prophecy with the recent Leap Year Conundrum, but I'm not so convinced. Since the dawn of this October, it seems like the music industry has been pumping out nothing but crazy people news, storming about with headlines that sound stripped from the most cretinous drudges of fan fiction. If you told me a week ago that Godspeed! You Black Emperor would have a new album out, or that The Replacements would be releasing anything , or that Coachella would be that obsessed with The Smiths to go all out [...]

[photo courtesy of Amanda Hatfield ] "Heads up out there, this is David Byrne. During our show, we welcome picture taking, video recording, audio recording..." Whoa. From a taper's standpoint, that was some of the best news I'd heard in a long time. David Byrne's opening announcement at all of the shows on this current tour with St. Vincent has included that invitation, which we happily accepted for the Williamsburg Waterfront show on Saturday night. As these two amazing musicians tour in support of their collaborative album Love This Giant [...]

Today, the beautiful Annie Clark—better known by most as St. Vincent —turns 30 years old. There is plenty to love about her. From her voice to her style to the touch of quirkiness that comes across in her sounds and in her visuals, she's once of the most interesting women in music right now. One of the things we love most about her is the way she wields a guitar (if you've ever seen this , you know she can play it too), so we decided to celebrate with 30 awesome pictures of Annie playing her guitar.

David Byrne & St. Vincent - Love This Giant Release Date: Sept 7th, 2 01 2 Label: 4AD When it was first announced that David Byrne, the secretive but never isolated musician responsible for the Talking Heads and numerous other solo efforts, was going to collaborate with Annie Clark, better known as St. Vincent, anticipation and speculation immediately [...]

David Byrne may no longer cherish a beautiful wife , whilst the New York New Wave pundit famously favours two wheels tethered to a steely frame than he may that large automobile, although the opportunity to engineer a full LP with Annie Clark (or St. Vincent to they yet to fall for her sylphlike charms ) must surely have been a Once In A Lifetime sorta deal, even for he. A chasmic age gap stands between the pair: Byrne was in his early thirties by the time Clark came into being, and his [...]

Today I was watching St. Vincent perform with David Byrne and it struck me that these two could be scraping their nails on chalkboards and squealing like those little hyper monkeys with the long tails and darting eyes. It struck me that as long as Annie Clark is on the screen, I am watching. Am I in love? I've never met Annie Clark, so that's up for debate. But yes. Yes, I am in love. I am in love with Annie Clark. So instead of "eating dinner," or "sleeping," or "flushing the rotting carcass of my fish that [...]

The title of this album is incorrect or, rather, incomplete. Yes, this is a collaboration between David Byrne and Annie Clark of St. Vincent  but there's a third, equally important member: the brass. Love This Giant , out on  4AD/Todo Mundo , is absolutely packed with brass sections, melodies, and blasts. It gives off a temporal vibe, especially when placed in contrast with the electronic flourishes that are provided by the two talented musicians. Each track finds a new way to use the instruments [...]

Twenty-six years ago, David Byrne stood from the silver screen in  True Stories and asked, "What time is it? No time to look back." It's a short mantra that goes a long way in describing the 60-year-old songwriter, whose celebrated canon of work runs parallel to no one. Whether amid the Talking Heads or alongside collaborators like Brian Eno, Byrne exhibits this pioneering attitude that's uncanny yet exigent. He's a creative steam engine that's always moving on a track that never ends. It's something any potential collaborator has to respect, and his latest does. In [...]

Last night, David Byrne and St. Vincent made their live and television debut on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon . In support of their collaborative album,  Love This Giant , the two peeled open its lead single "Who" and also offered a web exclusive cut of "The Forest Awakes". Stream both cuts below. "Who": "The Forest Awakes":

David Byrne and St Vincent - Love This Giant By Jonathan Hopkins For fans of the idiosyncratic, pairings don’t come any more intriguing than Annie Clark and David Byrne . For the initiated, Annie Clark, better known as St. Vincent , has quickly established herself as one of the most potent forces in avant-garde pop music. David Byrne is, well, David Byrne: founding member of Talking Heads, and one of music and art’s most iconoclastic heroes. Having met at the Dark Was [...]

With modern cameras capable of capturing colors we don’t even have names for, the decision to shoot in black-and-white is not a decision to be made lightly. In his video for the David Byrne/St. Vincent collaborative song “Who,” director Martin de Thurah not only uses black-and-white to establish a sense of Twilight Zone -esque otherworldliness but he also utilizes his limited color palette to reemphasize the importance of both artists in the creation of the song. The video begins with a dapper David Byrne cautiously getting out of his car to inspect an unresponsive Annie Clark who happens [...]

Filed under: News , Video YouTube David Byrne and St. Vincent 's joint album Love This Giant drops Sept. 11, and to celebrate one of the year's quirkiest combos, the pair released a video for lead single "Who." Watch Annie Clark (girl's got moves!) and the Talking Heads ' former frontman do some pretty strange dancing in this black-and-white, noirish clip below.
