Indie rocker and Pitchfork darling St. Vincent appeared on Conan last night, performing some song off her latest album. The performance was notable due to St. Vincent's decision to pay homage to Elvis Costello and the Attractions electrifying rendition of "Radio, Radio" on Saturday Night Live way back in 1978. See if you can find the connection, kids!
While I appreciate that St. Vincent appreciates Elvis Costello, this "tribute" is a bit too on-the-nose for my tastes. Why not create your own uniquely memorable TV performance, St. Vincent? Why not do something crazy, like tear up a photograph of Mitt Romney? Oh wait, never mind.
