Amy Winehouse does bump on stage; and other fun links
Posted by Wade Tatangelo on Sun, Dec 2, 2007 at 4:48 PM
\A drink with friends after work Friday resulted in a full-blown SoHo stumble (scroll down) — so I didn't manage to stay home the entire weekend as planned. However, I did hunker down last night: read some Elmore Leonard; listened to both discs of the dare-I-say-perfect Eat A Peach deluxe edition, plus the new Ronny Elliott album Jalopypaint (release date: Jan. 15) and the horrid Puscifer debut.
I also watched a rerun of that most excellent SNL episode hosted by funniest man alive Alec Baldwin. The show featured music guest/my pop star crush Christina Aguilera doing a pair of superb performances as well as cameos by Steve Martin, Martin Short and Sir Paul McCartney.
Anyway, here are music links for anyone looking to kill time before kick-off.
- Um, I'm pretty sure that's Amy Winehouse DOING A BUMP OF COKE ON STAGE!
- Can Kanye West make Thriller anniversary/reissue worthwhile?
- Gainesville's Against Me! — the breakout rock band of the year — has heart.
- Indie folk-rockers Band of Horses sked two Orlando dates, skip Tampa. Oh well.
- Tampa American Idol finalist Jessica Sierra does hometown proud (again).
- The return of Led Zeppelin?!?!
- ANTI offers Neko Case reissues (link features free MP3s)
- First Portishead album in 10 years due out in April.
- Blender magazine dubs Pavements' Slanted and Enchanted the all-time best indie rock album. Ouch. I'd go with the Pixies' Surfa Rosa. Or Liz Phair's Exile in Guyville. Or Brian Eno's Another Green World. Better yet, the Velvet Underground's self-titled debut. Anything but Pavement, perhaps the most overrated band ever.
- Bon Jovi over The Boss? Don't be silly.

Pavement, the most overrated band ever?!?!?!? i think not. please listen to the masterpiece "crooked rain crooked rain"... the track 'range life' will change yr life, i swear. maybe you had to see them live... i did, five or six times (got to see them twice in the same day once!). blissful! Stephen Malkmus word play is intricate and mesmerizing. anyway... Weezer is, by far, the most overrated band ever (but "Pinkerton" is still an amazing record!).

Yikes. Like millions others, I rank Weezer's self-titled "blue album" as one of the '90s finest. What can I say? I'm a fan of big hooks and vocalists that, y'know, can sing on key. Malkmus' voice grates. And willfully vague lines like this: did you remember in december that i won''t eat you when i'm gone and if i go there, i won't stay there because i'm sitting here too long i've been sitting here too long Do nothing for me. However, I dig the "Gold Soundz"'s Spike Jonze-directed video.
"Billie" from Pavement's 'Terror Twilight': Billie and my friend the saint You're perfect in so many ways But you never looked hard at a fetus in a jar You never saw your mama change And this wonderland of spite Does not shine into your night Like widows are seen as stigmatised beings Who ought to have second chance And hurricanes spin like debutantes in a trance from "Folk Jam" off the same album: If you enjoy the company Of a descending family tree Well tuck in your thoughts It's there or it's not The feeling is mutual Well, pardon my birth I just slipped out Origins I can't brag about Spawn of a bank inquisitor And theives I wish Watch out the snitch also involves himself in blackmail One would think the interests conflict The air is so taught I feel so thin Hot as the come to closing in Hot as the gun i'm closing in and reeap the benefits Beware the head of state says that see believes in leprechauns Irish folk tales scare the shit out of me, yeah

I think this is a great post. One thing that I find the most helpful is number five. Sometimes when I write, I just let the flow of the words and information come out so much that I loose the purpose. It’s only after editing when I realize what I’ve done. There’s defiantly a lot of great tips here I’m going to try to be more aware of.
