Remembering Amy Winehouse: Two Years After Her Death
When news broke two years ago today that Amy Winehouse had died at the age of 27 , it was less shocking than it was just sad . After all, Amy was a singer who burst on the scene in 2007 and created an immediate buzz with “ Rehab ,” a song that would later go on to win the Grammy Award for Record of the Year (she won four other awards that year as well). That song seemed to tell you everything you needed to know about Amy, a troubled performer who had problems with drugs, drinking, and the law: “They tried to […]

Popblerd’s Grammy Preview & Predictions 2012: Pop Category
There’s been a fair amount of bitching and moaning about the omission of several categories from the Grammy repertoire, and heavies like Jesse Jackson (what the fuck does he have to do with music?) and Carlos Santana (what the f…oh, never mind) have made their grievances known. Hey, has anyone noticed that they cut categories from ALL genres of music? Even pop categories are missing. The best pop collaboration category has been jettisoned, and as with Rock and R&B, the […]
A-Sides With Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings
Psyched to be a part of the Blerd Team… Blerdy Blerd Blerd. Anyway… Aretha Franklin is the Queen of Soul, and always will be. Ditto for Michael Jackson and his King of Pop distinction. Sharon Jones made that abundantly clear in a recent “A-Sides” interview. Having said that, there’s still room for another queen in the worldwide music castle. Jones is the self-professed “Queen of Funk.” The lead singer of the appropriately named Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings is as […]
bLISTerd Presents: GG’s Top 11 Albums of 2011
I’ve become very good at buying music these days. I rarely dislike anything I purchase, but that is a problem. With the ability to sample nearly anything and everything before I buy, my taste has become so narrowed down. Thus, my list is probably the most predictable list of all. But I’m not sure that’s a bad thing. The great thing about music is that it’s so subjective. You like what you like. I don’t listen to music as much […]
Spin Cycle: Amy Winehouse’s “Lioness: Hidden Treasures”
One thing that can’t be denied was that Amy Winehouse was a unique talent, and as it turns out, quite influential. Despite Adele’s tremendous talent, it was Amy that paved the way for the renaissance of full-voiced British soul vocalists with a throwback sound. She was truly taken from us too soon, and the world will never know if she would have been able to come up with an album that matched the genius that was Back To Black. Despite […]
