Hard day in client meetings for me today.  So I want to highlight someone a bit more glamorous who I hope will be announced for Primavera Sound Festival at the Gala press conference tomorrow (PS Heineken have been announced as this year's supplier- YAY).

Annie Clark (AKA St Vincent) of among other things, David Byrne and St Vincent fame:

She has style you can really respect because she basically wears the same thing over and over on tour:

"Touring clothes have to be functional and somewhat architectural," Clark explains. "They have to have a little bit of pop to them, so people can see them from far away. But then they also have to be durable enough, because depending on the show, they will be sweated in, and there will potentially be blood on them. And then they also have to be able to fit in a suitcase. I've been wearing leather shorts and alternating tops [on tour]. I've been going out into the crowd quite a bit and stage diving -- so the shorts are helpful. It's hard to wear dresses because they tend to ride up."

I also dig her work ethic:

"I would just get up in the morning and caffeinate, and run, and go to the studio for 12 hours," she says, "come back, eat dinner alone with a book, have a glass of wine, and go to bed. And do it all over again."

Because EVERYTHING can be made more awesome by involving David Byrne.
