Winehouse Butt-Pinched, Punch Drunk
Posted on July 9, 2008 at 09:55 AM
In the news over the weekend, yet more groping-induced fisticuffs from Amy Winehouse! According to the NME, Winehouse clocked a dude - three times - in a Camden, London pub after she thought he had pinched her behind. Additionally, she called the guy a wanker. Unfortunately for the poor chap involved, he seems to have had nothing to do with the pinching, if it indeed really occurred. But there are worse things than being punched by Amy Winehouse, currently the world's most famous pugilist. Especially while having a pint in a nice pub. And despite all of the talk of Winehouse's state of mind, and her drug use, and her antics, and her rowdiness, it's worth remembering just how fantastic a singer she is. If he can get through all of this, an amazing career could lay ahead.
Also Punchy:
Legendary Seattle label Sub Pop has turned 20, and Billboard has a list of the Top 20 Sub Pop Moments. Mudhoney? Check. Nirvana? Check. White Stripes on the Sub Pop singles club? Wow, actually. Sub Pop's career-long company policy of releasing tons of stuff and seeing what sticks seems to have worked. BTW, Nirvana's Bleach was made for 600 bucks. And Sub Pop didn't even pay for that. Nice "investment."
And speaking of classic punk labels, D.C. label Dischord's 90s faves Shudder To Think are reuniting for a full scale tour. Over the years, frontman Craig Wedren has become something of an elder statesman of pop culture - releasing excellent records and writing themes for television, including the one for The State. Seeing him with Shudder To Think is a rare opportunity to catch kick butt art rock live. Do it.
Finally, NYC/Cincinnati rockers The National have designed a t-shirt marrying their song Mr. November with an image of a certain Democratic cadidate for President. All proceeds go straight to Mr. November Mr. Obama.
