Covers Project: St. Vincent, National & Crooked Fingers
This installment in our Covers Project series is a two-fer. St. Vincent joined up with The National to cover Crooked Fingers‘ “Sleep All Summer” for Merge Records‘ 20th Anniversary compilation.
Despite remaining relatively faithful, the cover still sounds world’s apart from Eric Bachmann’s original duet with Lara Meyerratken.
Annie Clark (Miss St. Vincent) returned the favor recently when she performed a re-imagined version of The National’s “Mistaken for Strangers” for Brooklyn Vegan’s benefit concert for Haiti.

This comment has little to do with anything. It’s a request really. Please keep me current with concert listings for May… particularly May 1-6th. My vacation concert roster includes: Broken Social Scene (The Fillmore) and Owen Pallet (the Independent). That’s great but I was kind of wishing for more indie music (every night would be grand), as well as acts that I don’t get a chance to see in Vancouver. Thanks for helping out!
