How fortunate are they who have met her! How blessed are the people whom she has worked with! How dreamy-eyed am I whenever I hear Annie's voice. (I do fall in love too easily - vocally in love)
Of course choosing for oneself a name which sounds so masculine would not agree with many a soul. But re-christening oneself after the saint of wine making or if your prefer a Caribbean island is perhaps a way of eluding quick categorisation.
Many things have been said about Annie Clark, not least here in the MOG-o-sphere. Maybe I'll share with you my favourite piece of a legend in the making:
"Annie built her first guitar out of cardboard and rubber bands at age 5. Shortly thereafter, she learned to bang on it and sing with it at the same time. Accompanied by a 6-string electric cello, laptop, and drums, 24-year old Annie has been building a buzz opening for acts as acclaimed and diverse as Television, Tuck & Patti, Tracy+the Plastics, and Xiu Xiu."
...Now picture yourself in a lift. Enters Annie, like a ghost of Anna Karina. She looks at you from inside the Alphaville box. Then she will enter your flat, lay on your bed and strum gently and susurrate : "Marry me."
Would you, could you say no?
