Annie Lennox Shares Stress Relieving Tips (Note: Dave Stewart Is No Longer In Her Life)

November 15th, 2011 By Mof Gimmers

Imagine being Annie Lennox. Just think of that for a moment. Gah. It’s rubbish isn’t it? Just think, looking at Annie Lennox’s face in the mirror. Imagine hearing that voice coming out every time you spoke.

Imagine people saying “Hello Annie Lennox” at you. It’s enough to make you want to die.

Annie Lennox has noticed this too, opening up about her battle with panic attacks thanks to being Annie Lennox. However, she’s decided to share some tips with us all about getting over stress, panic and anxiety. You’ll notice that her life is a lot less Dave Stewart based these days, so we suspect the main tip would be “don’t ever work with Dave Stewart – have you heard that terrible cod-reggae album he’s made with Mick Jagger and Joss Stone?”

SuperHeavy, The Collab With Jagger, Joss Stone, Dave Stewart And Damien Marley, Invents Ear Vomit

August 7th, 2012 By Mof Gimmers

Oh dear GOD! SuperHeavy – the collaboration between Mick Jagger and Eurythmics founder Dave Stewart, alongside Joss Stone, Damien Marley and Oscar-winning composer A.R. Rahman, wasn’t a sick joke after all.

See, it’s obvious what’s going on here. We’re dealing with the folly of the jet set. They’ve looked at absolutely everything they like and thrown it all in the same pot.

It’s like someone offering you a plate with all your favourite food on. Imagine a mixture of fish ‘n’ chips, a hamburger, apple pie, a cup of tea, blue cheese, Coco Pops, gumbo, bacon, 4 pints of beer and a punnet of strawberries all blitzed in a blender and offered to you as something worth downing.

Cod Reggae: Britain’s Totally Tropical Taste

September 24th, 2010 By Mof Gimmers

Britain has always had a fascination with music from the Caribbean. After the Empire Windrush signalled the arrival of a more modern, vibrant and much cooler Britain, it wasn?t long before Britons were bowled over by Lord Kitchener?s calypso and his orchestra.

Kitch’ returned the favour, going so far as to sweeten us all with the wonderful ?London is the Place for Me?. Lord Beginner swiftly followed with an ode to that most English of sports ? cricket ? before delivering a damning indictment on racist attitudes with the ace ?Mix Up Matrimony?.

Along with this new and exotic music, the culture of the Caribbean grew in popularity and cemented further with the birth of the Notting Hill Carnival in ?59 which painted on much needed vibrancy in a Britain still coming down with a dose of the wars.
