...I'm posting this on the run while doing a little work outside at a cafe but thought I'd hit MOG up with this little tune that popped up on my iPod...I don't know what it is, but I'm getting some great tunage this weekend by sticking with the chicks-with-picks motif...case in point: I just downloaded some Annie Lennox/ Eurythmics tunes and got back down to brass tacks with a tune from their Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) LP that made me look their way years and years ago...man can Ms. Lennox lay it down when her pipes are pumpin'...she's one of the few white, female Pop singers (Teena Marie got skills, yo) who could hang with Aretha when it came down to it in my book and that's word, son (La India is Latina and Lisa Stanfield, puh-lease)...if you haven't heard it, check out her Diva LP and get back to me or anything she put out in the 80s with Dave Stewart...she's something kinda special, straight out of Aberdeen, Scotland....

First let me address the "I’m posting this on the run while doing a little work outside at a cafe" comment. Working outside is something I can only dream of right now, so Crash you are playing unfair. As for Annie, I couldn't agree more. I find it amazing that she has had the staying power over the years. However, listening to her music does not get old, so I guess I understand why. While a lot of people may not want to admit it, I am sure almost everyone has something by this woman in their collection.

Annie Lennox is one of those artists whose power, I think, has been blunted by its easy Muzak inclusion. Still and all, "Why" and "No More 'I Love You's'" never cease to drive that cleft into my heart. And the Eurythmics catalog...is there a bad song to be found? I can still recall the video images, which accompany each of my favorites. Very cool. Has there been a comparable - okay, I hate this word - "duo" since? No, I don't think so. Great pick.

Medusa was her best solo album, IMO. Some of those covers were done just beautifully. I didn't think twice for most of the originals, but she gave them new life.

...not being a little "snarken-heimer" CooP, I was just reachin' out to my peeps...(slipping Jill on top of head like Benny Hill did the little bald guy) No Mutteri, I just relay the facts, no conjecture or photoshopping devil's horns on people (funny that you say that tho)...word up, Jeni...she really hasn't ever put out an outright bad selection, when I think of Scottish songstresses, she's the first one who comes to mind (Sheena who?)...yeah, PEM, only a few artists can cover somebody and kill it (sometimes recording a better interpretation of the original) Annie is on of 'em...

I saw Perez Hilton on 20/20, I think and it was hilarious, he can't get internet access in his apartment so he does all his work at a coffee shop, he starts at a table outside the shop before it opens and then moves inside, he even got served papers that he's being sued inside there.
