Today at 4 pm on Fine Tuning I'll be featuring the brand new, self-titled album by St. Vincent --- aka Annie Clark.  A sensational exercise in boundary pushing art-rock, this one is receiving rave reviews across the board.  And in honor of all the nominees at tonight's Oscar Awards, I'll kick off the show with "Celluloid Heroes" by the Kinks.
