Anonymous: Straight up choice: watching Anna Calvi play "The Devil" instrumental on a washboard and/or spoons, or watching Brian Eno fulfilling his role as Anna's "protector" by having to fight off a crowd of hormonally charged teenage girls?

How the fuck do you come up with these questions? #seriously

But I’ll go with the washboard reimagining of The Devil.

Anonymous: Do you think Anna will appear in the music video for Heart of Nowhere?

If they release the song as a single, then probably not? They seem like they have that whole movie theme happening for the album already.

Me too! I love it so much, I think it gets better every time I listen to it.

Anonymous: When/where were you lucky enough to see St Vincent live in New Zealand? I live here too (in Auckland), and I hope for my sanity it was before I started listening to her or I'll be furious at my past self. Sorry, I know this is an Anna Calvi blog but it seems we all love them both anyway!

Oh don’t worry… I saw her live in Sydney, not Auckland. But she did play Auckland in I think March last year and I never went either :(

Haha, it’s fine <3 Also omg at there being another Anna Calvi fan in Auckland! Did you go to Laneway last year?

Anonymous: Annie or Anna?

Anna. No doubt about it.

Even though I have met Annie twice and she’s so lovely, so I feel kind of bad having to choose...

Anonymous: Don't you think David Byrne & St. Vincent feels like a really weak album?

I saw their concert twice and it works much better as a show. It was so much fun! But yeah, it didn’t quite translate to the album. I don’t think the full on brass band works so well on the album and a lot of the songs I skip when I listen to it, when they were actually good live. I think the concept was cool but I’d have rather had a fourth album from St. Vincent than that collaboration definitely.

Anonymous: Would you like Anna to do a collaboration album à la David Byrne & St. Vincent one day? Who with?

Hmm, not really. A song or 2 would be nice, but if it was a whole album, I think I would just start wishing she had done it by herself. That was how I felt with Love This Giant at some points to be honest.

Anonymous: if you get the instrumental album, would you post it on youtube so all of her fans could listen to it? :-)

Yes, of course <3 

I’m not having any luck finding it though :/

I somehow missed this comment in my inbox :( Thank you <3
