I am an Anniemal
It’s been bubbling on the blogosphere for a while, but the Tipping Point turned out to be right here at work. Somebody posted a single album on our iTunes network with the tempting question, “Are you an Anniemal?” A pun that horrid had to be checked out, especially in a place that makes its money off conjuring up intellectual property on a monthly basis.
The single album, of course, is Annie’s Anniemal, recipient of an 8.8 from Pitchfork and the Village Voice Pazz n Jop #31 Single Of The Year, all this despite no US release.
Where’s she from? Norway. Svenska, your time in The Entroporium has passed.
In Norway, apparently, time stopped for pop music right about the moment that Susan from Human League opened her mouth to sing “I was working as a waitress in a cocktail bar…” Annie at least had the good sense to keep buying records after that one came out, went down to the record store and picked up Vanity 6‘s “Nasty Girl.”

Here is a Norwegian Annie site to admire.
Im in norway…its everywhere like the plauge. But I really like “my hearbeat” I think somebody from the band Royksopp did the music. oh and refering to “svenksa” that would be a swede…not a norwegian…..but its probably all the same to you;)
Hi, Norway!
I’ve written on Swedish bands quite a bit on this blog, so that was my reference. I can tell the difference. Honest!
ok you are forgiven haha
I can’t believe how much I like “Chewing Gum,” and I picked it up from the blog community. In fact, if Annie ever gets signed in the states, I think it’ll be the first example of the Mp3 blogs having any influence on commercial entertainment. Kinda like what the political blogs have done to would-be White House correspondents who gay porn aficionados in disguise, or in causing that CNN dude to resign. Ah, to be in such rarified air… Great site by the way and thanks for the link.
Her video is so adorable!
