[Former member 330]

It was a free gig.

Oh well then, it's fine if it's short and shit.

 

[Nunya B]

I mean, not everyone said it was shit because of her (see above link), so maybe the vitriol isn't totally warranted?

 

[P'NutButter]

So great studio artist, awful live performer?

 

[apric0t]

She was great when I saw her for multiple shows back in fall 2012 for CMJ, and I've always heard positive things about her live act until the months before NTMT... I think this whole anti-pop star mindset she has is being taken a little too far.

Or, y'know, maybe it's at least somewhat difficult to recover from repeated vocal injuries, especially when your album has just come out and demands that you actually perform to support it.

That review just sums up the problem with going to gigs. Sadly Sky is just the type of artist who attracts people that want to say they were there, rather than just enjoying being there.

 

[K94]

It was a free gig.

So are iTunes Festival ones and every one I've been to has been amazing. She's taking this 'too cool to care' attitude wayy too far and it's irritating. Thank God I didn't try and get tickets especially when it would have been a struggle to get there. Step it up, Sky!

 

[Lander]

I'm dreading my first time seeing Sky, I can tell the audience will be predominantly arseholes.

 

[RJF]

So I guess none of you listened to her speaking to Annie Mac on Radio 1 this evening?

 

[Nunya B]

No; how strange was she?

 

[RJF]

I only caught the last five minutes of her interview. Annie's Sunday show is basically her playing chilled out tracks where her guests pick tracks as a "bedtime mix" for a Sunday evening. Sky was just explaining her choices; sounded typically awkward and self-conscious. Looking at the site, her choices were:

Cass McCombs - Brighter
Elliot Smith - Alameda
Spiritualized - Broken Heart

It'll be on iPlayer tomorrow. Like I said, I only caught the last bit, so I don't know how long she spoke her. Can't seem to see any of her own tracks on the playlist for the show either, and it does live updates.

 

[Lander]

If she didn't promote Night Time, My Time for a bedtime mix...

 

[ManilaChinchilla]

I would quite like to be lulled to sleep by 'Omanko'.

 

[Synthline]

"Omanko" is on my bedtime playlist along with "Sad Dream". Lovely tracks to fall asleep too.

 

[Euphoria]

Wait, Omanko...? Really...? That song gets me hyped up more than anything.

 

[Noir]

I'm always surprised that a lot of people put on music to fall asleep to. If I'd put on any Sky Ferreira track I just wouldn't be able to catch a sleep at all. I really need silence to sleep.

I'm always surprised that a lot of people put on music to fall asleep to. If I'd put on any Sky Ferreira track I just wouldn't be able to catch a sleep at all. I really need silence to sleep.

Really energetic dance music actually helps me sleep. Can't tell you how many times I've jolted awake with some crazy dance tune in my ears, though.

 

[Lander]

This reminds me of when I was a lot younger and would put on Evanescence's debut album to sleep.

Hah, I remember when Sky was on the radio around the time of the UK release of Everything Is Embarrassing, and the song she had them play at the end of the interview was... something by DIIV.
