She talked onstage about the Nas thing Lex (with Jigga in the house even) and yeah, I've listened to Frank for the past week; "patchy" is the word.

I guess I always hope when somebody is publicly self-destructing that it's part of the persona they're creating. It would kinda make sense that on the back of an album of melancholy booziness she'd method act the character a bit.

I haven't heard any of her stuff (apart from 'Rehab') properly yet fwiw.

So, Back to Black was released here today, and they took "Addicted" off the record and put that Ghostface remix of "No Good"on instead. WHY?!? Ghostface is basically just screaming over the track, he's totally off beat.

Jazz singer Amy Winehouse is leading the field for the Mojo awards with three nominations including song and album of the year. Winehouse, who was named best British female artist at the Brit Awards earlier this year, is followed by the Arctic Monkeys with two nods. The Sheffield band are shortlisted for best song and best live act, where they face veteran rock group The Who. Bob Dylan's US chart topper Modern Times is in the running for best album. 'Sky the limit' Reader of Mojo magazine and users of their website handed two nominations to Texas rock group Midlake, in the best album and breakthrough act categories. Other nominees in the song of the year category are The Gossip for Standing In The Way of Control and Scottish band The View for Same Jeans. Singer Johnny Cash is posthumously nominated for catalogue release of the year, for the reissue of his 1969 concert at San Quentin. This is his second nomination in a row in the category, while he gained two further nods in last year's shortlist. The Mojo awards ceremony will take place in London on 18 June, at which the magazine will bestow a number of honours including the Hall of Fame and lifetime achievement awards. Editor-in-chief Phil Alexander said of Amy Winehouse: "Now the sky is the limit for her. There is nothing that can stop her apart from herself."

i absolutely love her 2-tone tracks on the expanded edition of B2B.no production excess, just her live in the studio with a band providing her with the sounds she clearly loves.― mark e

There's so much to love on Back to Black, not least the nerve (and skill) to write a great new song on the backing track of an old one (Tears Dry/Ain't no Mountain High) and have it sound genuine and personal instead of just a gimmick.
― dinnerboat, Thursday, December 5, 2019 10:12 AM (five months ago) bookmarkflaglink
Huh, learned from this that the song was written first, and then adapted to Ain't No Mountain:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KKW3upDoxsg

I kind of forgot about all my mp3s and have had a few fantastic nights digging through them. I ran across a Rhodes piano demo of Love Is A Losing Game that is A+++
Of course it's on YouTube now:

god, I thought that movie looked pointless and clueless, didn't realise it was absolutely fucking poisonous as well.I really wanted to dislike Amy at the time because her stuff was popular with the dummies, but I made the mistake of listening to Back to Black and realised what a great artist she was. Likewise shocked and angry at her death.
― assert (matttkkkk), Sunday, 14 April 2024 00:37 (four days ago) link
First album is a banger too, I think I prefer that one. I saw her in Brighton just before Back to Black came out and it was scary how different she seemed by then - basically had a few mental breakdowns between songs too :( It was still a very good gig.
I liked the actor who play Amy in this film when she was in the Industry TV series… but I don’t have much confidence in this Biopic being good.
― Chewshabadoo, Sunday, 14 April 2024 15:41 (four days ago) link
I saw Amy play just once, Bestival 2008. She was over an hour late on stage and could barely stand. She sung about 20% of the songs, putting the mic in front of the audience to sing the rest. Her band were very professional, but it was all just really sad, it was obvious she didn't want to be there and shouldn't have been there.
