We've tried them, and have to admit it - year end lists kind of suck. But then, we have a blog and we feel like we should at least try to recap the year, hopefully with a nod to the future. It's easy to gush about our favorite things, but hard to have to rank [...]
Since her sudden death of July 23rd 2011, Amy Winehouse has been the focus of more tributes than can be counted. From Bruno Mars at the VMAs to Green Day at their secret show, quite a few high profile artists have thrown their musical hats into the ring of Amy tributes. Not to say all of these aren't sincere, but the truth of the matter is that most of these artists had most likely never been as affected as a true Brit. That's where Matthew Beer's Falling Asleep is different. Born in Birmingham, Matthew has been a [...]

The dress worn by Amy Winehouse for the cover of her Grammy award-winning Back To Black album is to be sold at auction later.

So, this is the official artwork for Amy Winehouse's new album titled Lioness: Hidden Treasures , and it's going to be released on the 5th of December, 2011. It's not that great of a picture and they could have dropped the "Hidden Treasures" from the title. Not sure if it will be a collection of B-sides and remixes or the new material she was working on. At any rate, this could only benefit her legacy as she left too little material on earth. 5/10. Filed under: Beats , Brit Brit Brit Tagged: [...]

Can you remember what you were doing in 1994? I would have been ten years old, so I was probably watching Sharky & George while playing Scalectrix, however over in the Pacific Northwest of the United States Richmond Fontaine were just starting out on a career that would see them release some of the most loved and critically-acclaimed Folk/Americana albums of the past two decades. Now ten albums in, the band continue to go from strength to strength. Front-man and chief songwriter Willy Vlautin now also has three novels to his name and the [...]
Green Day (bottom) paid homage to the late Amy Winehouse (top), who died in late July. It's not everyday that Green Day plays an intimate show for 250 superfans. It's not everyday that anyone would expect punk rock powerhouse Green Day to be associated with the late jazzy bluesy Amy Winehouse. Obviously it's not everyday that Green Day does the expected. After a rockin' set of unreleased material at Tiki Bar in Costa Mesa that left the crowd drenched in their's, their friend's, and who knows who else's sweat, Green Day brought the energy down a bit and [...]

It's a slow day in the News department so I found this little gem from a few days ago and decided to post it because I like Nas and fellow Word Is Bond blogger, Carminelitta, wrote/put together a very nice tribute to Amy Winehouse. Nas was on "106 & Park" recently and had this to say about his fallen friend: "She was a genuine person. She was like, real. When you talked to her, she was real. She was struggling with a lot of things in her life, but she was a [...]

I always found it pretty remarkable that Amy Winehouse achieved such a major level of fame. She had a beautiful voice, her music maintained a classical pop shine, and every ounce of her music was constructed with soul (not just by Amy, but also her band). The reason why I found this remarkable is because [...]
