the nas track leaked, it makes me sad because it's good but there's not much of her on it, and there should have been.
lioness only has three new tracks, pretty disappointed by that.

(i'm sure the rest of it will be good but i don't really get excited by demo versions and covers she had lying around)
three new songs, surely? i thought it was all unreleased?

there was a definite cool-factor in tupac's hologram, but that was for a limited purpose, and a one-off event. i really hope winehouse's family doesn't go through with this.
― Daniel, Esq 2, Saturday, 29 March 2014 23:33 (ten years ago) link
Tupac's also happened over a decade after he died. this is kinda...soon. co-sign this is a bad idea.
― Neanderthal, Sunday, 30 March 2014 02:14 (ten years ago) link
It just seems kinda random. How much demand would there be for an Amy Winehouse hologram, even with the novelty factor? Amy's legacy is a blip compared to that of Tupac's (and I'm a fan of both).
― Herbie Handcock (Murgatroid), Sunday, 30 March 2014 02:17 (ten years ago) link
that too. I would just feel real fucking depressed, I mean. when Tupac appeared, his fanbase et al had over 10-15 years to kinda deal with it, but Amy died what, 3 years ago? yea I know 'we never really knew her' but still. I still get a lil misty when I even hear one of her songs on the radio.

yeah.. much tougher to watch that i was prepared for. lots of troubling, tragic stuff but oddly it was the shot of a dazed-looking Mark Ronson with his hands in his pockets slouching into the funeral service on his own, which affected me most.

One good thing is it's spurred me to check out some of her deep cuts, I was more just a casual admirer before.

Channel 4 has just shown the documentary, indeed it is very sad. Reminded me of when my best friend David worked in the bookstore at Camden Market, and I often used to wander down there of a Sunday, it was walking distance from where I lived at the time. I'd hang out in the shop for a while (Adam Ant was a regular) until he closed up and then we'd go out for some beers. Usually a LOT of beers! It must have been summer, because we'd generally start off at the Lock Tavern, not a bar I've ever had any affection for but it did (and does) have the advantage of an outdoor beer garden area - anyway, Amy Winehouse would often be there (I almost called her Amy but have no right to such familiarity). She wasn't totally 'Camdenized' yet, so it must have been between her 1st and 2nd albums and before that baldy junkie prick she married had got his claws fully in her. Anyway, as the light failed, me and David would probably head off to the Enterprise, or somewhere, and she'd no doubt go off and do 'the Camden thing'. I'm not even sure why I'm mentioning all this, it's not like I ever even spoke to the girl. I probably saw her in the Hawley Arms, now I come to think of it, we did use to venture in there occasionally. Now, David lives in Edinburgh and, if I decide to catch the 253 bus to work in the morning, I pass a sub-Banksy wall painting of Amy Winehouse - Camden's version of the Edith Cavell Memorial. Have I ever mentioned before how much I detest Camden?

Probably the hardest film to watch I've ever seen short of a genocide documentary or something. Harder in some ways. I feel like it might make me want to be a better person though.

I can't sleep. This was so powerfully done as a doc that I partly wish I didn't watch it. It really feels like I just watched a friend commit slow suicide and I wasn't even the biggest fan.

Tony Bennett gets almost inadvertently comical when he keeps repeating his "true jazz singer" schtick. OTOH his line that "Life teaches you how to live it, if you live long enough" was great, probably the most heartbreaking sentiment in the whole movie in relation to the subject.

Her father is exploitive but I think you could make a strong case that she might be alive today if she had never met Felder.
Bennett is kind of a caricature at this point but I was pretty touched how kind he was she was so upset about the takes and he just kept encouraging her felt like he could tell she needed some kindness

Considering how she was all about the music, there's not much about music. It was disappointing that they didn't include even one complete song performance. Just 40 second snippets.
― everything, Sunday, 14 February 2016 20:18 (eight years ago) link
I think you could make a 10x stronger case that she'd be alive today if her dad had been a dad to her from the beginning.

Also based on the events in the film, I don't even think that's true -- the doc believed it was mostly alcohol + bulimia that killed her, which were both problems before him. Heroin doesn't even take that much toll on the body -- addicts who die mostly do so because of overdose, dirty needles or just the junkie lifestyle. She kicked heroin and crack after he was put in prison and even had a brief improvement before spiraling down again. So I don't really think Fielder killed her.
― on entre O.K. on sort K.O. (man alive), Monday, 15 February 2016 02:06 (eight years ago) link
Yeah, to me it seemed they were presenting the case that it was the pressures of fame that killed her, and the alchohol she was using as an escape from that was the physical manifestation.
