R.I.P. Amy Winehouse

Well, it is sad that Amy didn't make it. We lost such a great talent and interesting person. I love this song, "Back to Black," and the video is ironic to look back at as it is about a funeral taking place. R.I.P. Amy Winehouse. You were a real weirdo and kind of manly, but also a true artist. 

Here's my other favorite.

Dia Frampton on "The Voice."

I'm digging this chick's voice. It really opened up when she focused on the piano. 'Ol Blake really knew what he was talking about with that one. I always like it when people redo rap songs, and this is one I liked to begin with. I don't usually watch shows like this (aka "American Idol", yuck) but this show doesn't make you wade through all the shit to get to the bearable performances. Plus, to be honest, I DVR it and fast forward through all the emotional crap I don't care about.


goodnight & good luck,

Kings of Leon.

I was introduced to Kings of Leon around 2005 and I've been a fan ever since. Honestly, they don't have a bad album. That said, I've had this new one, "Come Around Sundown", for a while but hadn't listened to it. I thought, "there's no way they can have another good one." So, for fear of disappointment, I scrolled passed it on my iPod for months. This past week I allowed myself to delve into it and let me tell you, I was quite short of disappointed. What the f?! They did it again! It's really good. I like how they evolve with each new release while remaining unmistakably Kings of Leon. You should check it out for sure. Also, I haven't seen them live myself but pretty much everyone I know has and they say it's the best live show ever. FYI. Not bad to look at, either.

Favorite songs (although I truly like them all.. but if I had to choose): No Money, The Face, Pyro.


adios,

I'm totally not embarrassed to tell you this.

I think there are several fantastic jams on Britney Spears' new album, "Femme Fatale." Favorites: Till the World Ends, How I Roll, Big Fat Bass. Maybe homegirl is getting her shit together.
