Welcome back to Music Hum<\/a>, students! Music Hum is my sporadic series on “vintage” music. Check out my first Music Hum post here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Annie Lennox has a new album<\/a> out<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

This post is inspired by the beauteous Annie Lennox, formerly of Eurythmics<\/a> (people tend to say “The Eurythmics” but that is incorrect). Annie’s new album comes out tomorrow and it’s called Songs of Mass Destruction<\/a>. Judging from the title, it will be more fun than a barrel of monkeys on Prozac and Ecstasy. It includes a track called “Sing,” which was written to raise money and awareness for HIV\/AIDS in Africa. Twenty-three female singers, including Madonna, Shakira, Gladys Knight, Fergie and Celine Dion, participated on the track. I really look forward to hearing it even though I’m a little tired of We Are the World<\/a> consciousness-raising. I’m so conscious of all the world’s miseries that I’m developing agoraphobia. I’m scared to leave the house because I’m sure I’m going to wreck the environment or accidentally oppress someone. Also, I expect that one day all of the corrupt dictators, warlords and oppressed peoples of Africa will finally rise as one and declare: “Leave us alone! No more music!” Or perhaps “No more bloody singing!” as the guy says in Spamalot<\/a>. But good luck to Annie with her new project. Seriously. I have nothing but love for her.<\/p>\n
