Siamo sinceri: c'è qualcuno che crede davvero che questo rimarrà l'unico disco postumo di Amy Winehouse come è stato più volte dichiarato alla stampa? Killing is business and business is fine dicevano gli Agnostic Front (e se per questo pure i Megadeth , solo che per loro business era affar proprio ed era good e non fine – ma siamo lì, il senso è lo stesso) ed anche se Amy Winehouse non è stata uccisa ma è morta di cause... ehm... naturali nei prossimi anni (se non nei prossimi mesi) si [...]
In news that should surprise no one, Justin Bieber has earned the honor of 2011's Most Popular Person according to Google searches, with Lady Gaga and Nicki Minaj also finding a place in the Top 5. Selena Gomez needn't feel too overshadowed by her oft-Googled boyfriend, however — she came in at #6, with Amy Winehouse also showing well at #9. Meanwhile, on Google Zeitgeist's "Fastest Rising List," Rebecca Black was the big champion thanks to her viral sensation "Friday," holding court with such fine company as Casey Anthony, Osama bin Laden, and Hurricane Irene.

![Amy Winehouse: Lioness, Hidden Treasures [Album Review]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3935140_lg.jpg)
When "Rehab" made Amy Winehouse American famous (you know as opposed to the rest of the world, which doesn't really count) I wrote her off as bad pop. As a bandwagoneer, I was compelled to listen to her music when she died and joined the "27 club" this July. How pathetic that she had to die to earn real credibility. There really is no one else who makes her unique genre of music. Had she seen a therapist and successfully made it through rehab a clean and sober Amy, would this music even exist? Its hard to say, not to [...]
Amy Winehouse and Nas… so good. Via BROKEMOGUL .
Out with the new and in with the, er, mature ? Billboard turned the usual year-end list mania over to its readers via polls that asked them to have their say in such categories as Best Awards Show Performance (the winners: Rihanna and Britney Spears at the Billboard Music Awards ), Best Festival Performance ( Coldplay at Glastonbury ), Hottest Couple ( Jay-Z and Beyonce ) and Biggest Controversy ( Amy Winehouse's death ). But the real eyebrow-raiser is the Most Overrated label being slapped on Lady Gaga. [...]
Una settimana circa al Natale e Michael Bublè continua a macinare copie vendute del suo album "Christmas". L'idea ha funzionato e sta venendo premiata un po' ovunque. Secondo posto immediato per i Black Eyes con El Camino, mentre medaglia di bronzo per Amy Winehouse e il suo album 21. Anche alla numero 5 c'è un nuovo ingresso. Parliamo di Amy Winehouse con l'album postumo "Lioness: Hidden Treasures". Ottimo sesto posto per Andrea Bocelli e il suo live "Concerto: One Night In Central Park". Scendono Drake (alla 7) e i Nickelback (alla 8) mentre appare subito in nona posizione [...]
It's been out for more than a week, but I still haven't gotten around to listening to Amy Winehouse's Lioness: Hidden Treasures , which debuted this week on Billboard's Top 200 album chart at No. 5, with 144,000 copies sold in its first week. Why the delayed reaction to "new" music from such a great singer? It's just hard for me to get into posthumous albums. I've never listened to one that impressed me much. I prefer to remember my icons the way they were, not via outtakes cobbled together for one final cash-in, or as [...]
Universal Republic recently released Lioness: Hidden Treasures, a compilation of never released Amy Winehouse tracks. The album isn't as peppy as Back to Black, but it still holds its own... Read the rest on Speakerboxxx.com
Florence Welch, Amy Winehouse This year's VH1 Divas concert will pay tribute to a diva who left us far too soon: Amy Winehouse . VH1 announced today that the annual concert special will take time to honor the late British soul singer with a tribute that will include performances by Florence Welch of Florence + The Machine , Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings , and Wanda Jackson . Welch and Jackson will team up to perform Winehouse's "Back To Black," while Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings [...]
Since its inception date, 'Lioness: Hidden Treasures' was always going to be an inevitably two-sided mirror. In the instances where it falters musically, its eminence is reinforced by the tragic, yet melancholic legacy of Amy Winehouse. In many ways, 'Lioness' cannot be recognised as an album, but rather an assorted jumble of trimmings. With former assistants Salaam Remi and Mark Ronson at the reins, the pair has hoisted Amy's past, unheard recordings and delicately mastered them onto a bed of original music. Documenting exactly a third of Winehouse's 27-year lifespan, the record [...]
Sono proprio i due produttori Mark Ronson e Salaam Remi a raccontare come è stato realizzato " Lioness: Hidden Treasures ", dopo aver compilato la tracklist e curato la pubblicazione con la collaborazione della famiglia Winehouse, del management e della Island Records. I quattordici minuti di "Hidden Treasures Story", sono la video-storia di come il disco postumo è stato assemblato. Ci sono anche il producer Paul O'Duffy e Nas , tra le voci che ripercorrono traccia dopo traccia la scaletta e svelano informazioni su ogni brano. Un'occasione in più per apprezzare [...]
Michael Buble Michael Buble crushes the competition for yet another week and remains at the top spot on the main albums chart. Christmas , Michael's new holiday album, stays put at No. 1 after selling an incredible 479,000 according to Nielsen SoundScan as reported by Billboard.com. The set's sales total is a 64% increase from the previous week, partly due to his Christmas special, A Michael Buble Christmas , that aired on NBC featuring performance by Justin Bieber , Kellie Pickler and more. [...]
The Billboard Top Ten this week is a chart that all music executives should study. Look at what people are buying, a Michael Bublé Christmas record & an Adele's record vs a Justin Bieber record (who IS essentially a bigger lesbian artist in every way). The proof is in the pudding. Kids are downloading that shit for FREE, which is fine in my opinion! The point is ADULTS are still buying music. It's so true. SO why are music companies spending time developing crap music like Willow Smith 's and Justin Biebers'? Shouldn't [...]
This week, the Top 10 on Billboard 's Top 200 album chart says goodbye to Coldplay's Mylo Xyloto and Rihanna's Talk That Talk (which drops out after only two weeks in the upper tier). Meanwhile, following his televised A Michael Buble Christmas special last week, Canadian crooner Michael Buble sees his Christmas LP increase its sales by a whopping 64% from the previous frame and maintain its #1 chart position on the strength of [...]
Did You Hear? :: Amy Winehouse's parents have confirmed that the possibility of a feature film biopic of their daughter is still on the table. A spokesperson for her parents said, "Mitch and the family would entertain ideas perhaps for a film but only one they were sure would tell the truth." (The rumor that he would want Lady Gaga to play Amy, though, is false. Sorry little monsters!) [ EW Music Mix ] :: Need more 80s rock cheese in your life? Here is the trailer for Rock Of Ages .

Last weekend I overheard a sliver of conversation between two homeless men on the street, which I guess is the place you'd expect me to overhear a conversation between homeless people. "The fabric of reality is thin in airports," one said to the other. He went on to explain the other-worldy atmosphere of an airport, beaming with the constant glow of artificial light and packed full of tired, jet-lagged travelers, most of whom have medicated themselves for some reason, whether it be to fall asleep, keep awake, or just take the edge off the whole being in the sky thing. [...]
Filed under: News , Movies Samir Hussein/Getty Images As fun as it to debate who should play Amy Winehouse in a big-screen adaptation of her life, such arguments will ultimately be moot. According to the late singer's father, Mitch , there's never going to be a biopic. Speaking with the Daily Mail, Mitch Winehouse said he'd block efforts to make such a movie by denying the filmmakers rights to Amy's [...]
Well, Josh Ritter is pretty awesome, probably good live. I am sure that your grandparents would enjoy Rammsteins greatest hits, so there is that. Isn't Amy Winehouse dead?
