Gah. I LOVE Amy Winehouse. I heard her on the plane back to school at the beginning of winter quarter and have fallen ass-over-teakettle in love with this woman. And I love "Me And Mr. Jones" for the same reason you do (namely, "fuckery"). Oh Mah. Gah.

I LOVE Amy Winehouse.

I heard her on the plane back to school at the beginning of winter quarter and have fallen ass-over-teakettle in love with this woman.

And I love “Me And Mr. Jones” for the same reason you do (namely, “fuckery”).

Seriously she's bringing back the big brass bands with a furiousness. I appreciate artists who actually bring in actual musicians with them, that it's not all digitized crap pounding away in the background. She HAS to have a set of pipes. She HAS to have good jazz players for her arrangements because they ARE well written. My fave is "Tears Dry On Their Own" for various reasons. But I just LOVE the way it ends. With this wail and a big middle finger to fade off endings. It's GLORIOUS. *swoons* I love this woman’s shit. Seriously she’s bringing back the big brass bands with a furiousness.

I mean, she's got a sailor's tattoo of a pin-up on her arm, the biggest beehive in the Universe and she dances like a crazy person. She does a great cover of Monkey Man. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06ucVmXNRps LOVE this girl.

And yes, she's brilliant. I think the trainwreck part is quite played up for her image, because she's actually very savvy. Listening to this song, I always get the impression of that high school dance scene in <i>American Graffiti</i> where they're all dancing in the gym -- except dancing to this song. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVskXauf1kQ" rel="nofollow">This clip</a> of her on Britain's <i>Nevermind the Buzzcocks</i> is brilliant.

I just finished my own <i>squee!</i> blog entry about that CD. I paid cash for it instead of bumming it from my musicy friends because we all got to do our part to keep that girl in hairspray and eyeliner. "What kind of fuckery is this?" is the perfect phrase for (almost*) any occasion. And how often do you hear the phrase, "You don't mean dick to me." in a song? Not often enough. The woman is a blessing to the English language. *YMMV Me and Mr Jones is also my current Favorite.Song.Ever. I just finished my own squee! blog entry about that CD.

I'll have to check out more of her work. I love the bluesy raspy quality of her voice. I’ve never heard of her before, but I liked the song. I’ll have to check out more of her work.
