'Back to Black' just gets better despite it being inescapable. I can't think of a time before when someone went from being a niche artist to being a massive star in this country purely because of the damn brilliance of one specific album. I mean i'm sure this must have happened before.
With all that's going on at the moment in tabloid-world i feel sorry for her, and i really hope she wins the Mercury prize just to show the lot of them.
And the fucking remixes of the singles have been brilliant, almost as good overall as Justin's last year.

Yeah, people really need to stop going around saying heroin abuse is a bad thing. Won't somebody please think of the children?

dom, tabloid coverage of winehouse isn't concern for her well-being, it is common or garden humbug prurience

I (deliberately) haven't (knowingly) heard her music, so I'm going to have to judge her tattoos:
Dud.

the tattoos suck. the album is good times.
― stevie, Monday, 3 September 2007 12:24 (seventeen years ago) link
They look like practice tattoos, don't they?
Has she pledged her body to amateur/trainee inkers the same way other people pledge their bodies to medical science?

I'm so fucking bored of waiting for her to die. But they never die or even seriously overdose, do they? Pete Doherty is still around wearing stupid hats.
Still, if I had to sell tabloids for a living...

I think a certain proportion of long-term celebrities are just government employees who are paid to make it look as if something is "happening". They don't really take drugs or self-harm or have on/off relationships at all.
Kate Moss is a good example. Patently a civil servant.

With any luck she could lead to a UK version of those magnificent Cat Power threads our US posters bless us with every now and then. -- Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Friday, 12 January 2007 10:28 (10 months ago) Bookmark Link

I say classic.
Maybe its because it's Christmastime and the hell of Christmas shopping is only leavened by hearing The Ronnettes Sleigh Bells in almost every shop. She is probably the only singer since Joey Ramone to really turn the Ronnie Spector influence into something (on a side note, has she ever recorded a Christmas song, and if not then when will she? Surely the definitive version of Merry Christmas (I Don't wanna Fight Tonight) is hers of the taking: retro wink just masking real tears)

interesting article in Mojo, especially since having been granted the Cover status, the article contains nothing other than a run down on the recent shows, as no interview was ever sorted out due to the troubles we all know about, and some quotes from amy back in 2004. however, i'd say classic which means i should now buy the albums.

shit, for a minute, i thought you said she had recorded an old phil spector xmas song. was getting quite excited.

In the corner Of my eye I saw you in rudys You were very high You were high It was a cryin disgrace They saw your face
On the counter By your keys Was a book of numbers And your remedies One of these Surely will screen out the sorrow But where are you tomorrow
I cant cry anymore While you run around Break away Just when it Seems so clear That its Over now Drink your big black cow And get out of here
Down to greene street There you go Lookin so outrageous And they tell you so You should know How all the pros play the game You change your name
Like a gangster On the run You will stagger homeward To your precious one Im the one Who must make everything right Talk it out till daylight
I dont care anymore Why you run around Break away Just when it Seems so clear That its Over now Drink your big black cow And get out of here
