You know, I bought Amy Winehouse‘s album a long time ago, before it came out in the US, but I’m not sure I’ve ever listened to it. I remember starting to once and not being in the mood… Gotta find out what all the fuss is about. Didn’t read this interview, but there are a couple really nice B&W photos in it.

New tunes: KT Tunstall “Drastic Fantastic” coming out in September. I really liked her first album although I didn’t think she was very good live.

New York-band The National. People keep mentioning them.

Voxtrot. Do I already own this? Have I listened? I’m drawing a blank.

Another little blurb on Rie Rasmussen and Angel-A (just mentioned in EW also). They like the visuals of Rasmussen and of Paris (the city), and suggest it could have been magic as a silent film.
