Monday Rundown


Amy Winehouse has reportedly signed up to guest on Damon Albarn's new Gorillaz album.  Her vacation in St. Lucia inspired a list of reggae-style tracks that were rejected by Island Records for her nagging "in the works" new album.  Apparently, her new songs fit with the Gorillaz style.  As a fan of the Gorillaz and not so much of Winehouse's music as much as her reckless despair (missing tooth), I can only have faith in Albarn and his ability to create music that drives you mad.

==============================


Lake Inferior is a band to look out for.  The five piece plays on the University of North Carolina's student label Vinyl Records.  As posted on Aquarium Drunkard, "it is note perfect 'Spiders' that is the crowned jewel of this EP."


=====================

yeah yeah yeah's zero (animal collective remix)

Although I like the original more, the full version of the remix is better than I thought.

======================

I heard these rip roaring guitarists over Mimosas and an Easter brunch.  Rodrigo y Gabriela are currently recording in Mexico, but they have a live album, Live in Japan Rodrigo y Gabriela, (with bonus DVD footage of the concert) in stores.  "Tamacun" as played live in Japan is a must see (this version is great as well).  Never have acoustic guitars sound so large.
