Don’t call it a comeback…

Because it was more like one giant sad disaster in St. Lucia this past weekend, when Amy Winehouse took the stage for the first time in 8 months and it was pretty horrendous as you can see below. Though I've prophecized her death, I'm really hoping she gets her poop together and turns her life around, because her voice is epic, and 'Back to Black' is still one of my favorite albums of all time.

listen to Adele now!

i've been crazy about Adele, since i heard of her at the beginning of this year. her voice is beautiful, soulful, powerful yet sweet and another "throwback English songbird" like Duffy and Winehouse. she's the musical guest tonight on Saturday Night Live, which will be hosted by the incredibly talented/awesome/cool Josh Brolin (who's really come into his own in the past few years though i've been a fan for a decade, i'm glad he's getting the work and credit he deserves.)

Adele's most accesible song is probably "Cold Shoulder"

...while "Chasing Pavements" is also an incredible song, with an equally incredible video which you can see here, or listen to her do it live below

"Hometown Glory" is probably her most popular song since it's been on "Grey's Anatomy," and is incredibly beautiful

though my favorite song she does is "Tired." sadly there's no real video, but you can hear the song and enjoy the lovely video montage someone made for this fantastic song.

I'm begging you for MERCY, why won't you release me?

Duffy's "Mercy"" has been stuck in my head for months. i like Duffy but i prefer Adele & I'll be an Amy Winehouse fan for life [insert quip about how her's may not last that much longer.] so for the time being enjoy this delightfully catchy song.

...and another thats a bit more somber "Warwick Avenue"

...and "Rain On Your Parade" which is clearly has the same arrangement as "Mercy," but with fewer instruments, which means it'll probably be stuck in my head til Hannukah

kanye's new album

entitled "808s and Heartbreak"comes out on November 25th and here's the video for "love lockdown" he premiered on Ellen last week. i have no friggin clue what's going on in this thing, i just really like the song, which is why i'm sticking it out until i hear "808" to full decide whether or not i'm into a 'more soulful'/singing version of Mr. West. it feels like only yesterday he was trying to thump 2 Bits (that's 50 Cent for those of you not into old-timey hip hop talk) for the best record sales of the day, though that was actually almost 15 months ago.

i am pretty intrigued since "808" is technically a break-up album, and who can't relate to that. kanye had some crazy listening party for it the other night and said the album was about "emotional nakedness" and "the freedom to do what you want to do." whatever the F that means, i'm excited and intrigued and hope it's as enthralling as my current favorite breakup album (which is also one of my favorite albums of all time) Amy Winehouse's "Back to Black." We shall see.

Lego celebrates it's 30th with even more awesomeness

not too long ago i posted about Lego turning 30. well it turns out to commemorate that they've made Lego "Men" out of some famous people, including Miss Amy Winehouse. it's kind of sad that this little toy looks better than that little woman.

amy winehouse is as good as dead, so i'd like to wish her a happy birthday

Happy Birthday Amy! today is Amy Winehouse's birthday,who happens to be one of my favorite female recording artists of all time. she is incredibly talented but clearly has a whole lot of problems. Rolling Stone magazine recently published an article that basically affirms that she's as good as dead if she keeps, drinking, doing drugs and whatever crazy behavior she's gotten herself involved in over the course of the past year and a half. so i thought i should post about her before it's too late (though it may already be. ) so i've chosen to showcase some of her best tracks, instead of all the crazy videos of her out there. so please enjoy, while you still can.
