Music notes:

I just bought Annie Lennox's new work, Bare (via the iTunes Music Store, in case anyone cares). Holy shit, but does she fucking rawk my world.

I remember the first time I ever heard Sweet Dreams Are Made of This, and I can only say that for a handful of all the music I've ever heard in my life, so I know that it was a life-altering experience. I wouldn't say that I'm a Eurythmics otaku or an Annie Lennox stalker by any stretch of the imagination -- I don't have everything they've ever done, and I don't even have all of Annie's solo work -- though I do have my favorites, like the soundtrack to 1984, which is one of my most prized musical possessions.

But this album is incredible. There isn't a bad track on it, and there isn't a bad note that comes out of her voice. She's an incredible talent. She can do ballads, she can do rhythm and blues, she can do dance music, she can do rock. Annie Lennox can do whatever the hell she wants. She's awesome.
