"Troubled singer Amy Winehouse, who has battled drink and drug problems, is found dead at her London home at the age of 27", said the BBC. Another genuine talent lost at an early age. Although in the case of Amy, it was unfortunately not a surprise since her problems with drugs and alcohol were pilling up. Hopefully the world will not remember her for how she finished her last gig but for her brilliantly unique voice. Back to black it is then.. Artist.Site

I was right about to make a review of the new album from Vampire Weekend, when I stubbled upon the breaking news. Our beloved punker Jay Reatard (Jimmy Lee Lindsey Jr.) died in his sleep at around 3:30 a.m yesterday (Jan. 13) in his home at Memphis. I simply couldn't believe it. I personally loved his punchy punk tunes and free spirit. We even saw him live 2 years ago in Roskilde, where he rocked (at least for a couple of songs before he jumped into the crowd!). Beck and the Pixies where from th...

Sad news as it seems...The Californian punkers Mika Miko are calling it a day according to the Los Angeles Times (confirmed by their record label). The root of the problem seems to be "returns to school, new projects, jobs and relationships". Sounds like these youth are giving up simply because they are growing up. A real pitty...Mika Miko - CapricorinationsArtist.Site

It's now been more than a year since Aidan and Malcolm decided to split up and although their absence has gone unnoticed by most people, I kind of miss their depressive sound. It was the constant smell of alcohol in all their songs that actually drew me to their music and for that I would like to pay my late respects. Besides, any band self-described as "musical duo renowned for being miserable" is ok in my book. If only they could remember their lyrics on stage
