Washes the bad taste away from the song Girlfriend by Anderson East. Seriously, if someone said to me I'm in love with your girlfriend I'd be more concerned about how she felt than the person treating her like a prize.

  1. Annie Clark is a complete cipher. I like that in a musician. She creates wonderful, clever music - puts it out for us to enjoy - and manages to keep the rest of herself contained.

    Lots of musicians can't manage that stunt. It's all about their personal lives - trust me on this, if you're a working musician, your life is both boring and weird. Annie Clark figured that out early, to her credit and probable salvation. What's there to know, anyway? Once you've gone down that road a ways, believe me, the instrument starts playing you .

    It's a horrible way to make a living, trust me on that; no industry is so jam-packed with liars and thieves and mean people, with the possible exception of politics.

    Annie Clark is a GarageBand kid made good. I'm so pleased to see a generation of women emerging with their heads screwed on good and tight, in control of their own lives and careers. The workstation tech has made a lot of that possible, sure. But....

    I hate Los Angeles. Every time I go to that Babylon-upon-the-Sea, I hate it even more. It is a city built upon broken promises, filled with surgically enhanced plastic people without consciences. That entire burg could fall into the sea and not an honest person would die in the process.

    "The last days of the sunset superstars
    Girls in cages playing their guitars
    But how can I leave?
    I just follow the hood of my car
    In Los Ageless, the waves they never break
    They build and build until you don't have no escape
    But how can I leave?
    I just follow my hood to the sea, go to sleep"

  3. "Who is an honest man?
    Who is an honest man?
    With a graceful motion she sat down slowly
    Drank a cuá¹— of coffee and she’ll fold her laundry
    She begins to tell us all her life story
    All around the table, everybody’s staring

    Who shouts out hallelujah?
    Who’s gonna sing out loud?
    Carry these men and women
    Who gets lost when the sun goes down?"

  4. Videos are provocative as well (as are the performances I saw on TV). Much better than people just playing instruments.

  5. Marius Piedallu van Wyk Are the performances as visually interesting as the ones on talk shows?

  6. I thought she was amazing. She was pretty interactive with the audience. But I do love the videos (even more perhaps)
