Brian: If you’ve heard samples from KTT you’re one up on me. I also just learned that Marah has a new CD coming but the drop date isn’t until January.

And maybe lay off the pharmaceuticals, if you believe the rumors. I’m just hoping the girl doesn’t die….

Winehouse reminds me a lot of Christina Aguilera circa the “Stripped” era–she comes out looking like a coked-up ho, and then busts out a voice soulful enough to raise Billie Holiday from the dead.

Her style’s not really to my taste, but I respect her ability. She just needs to eat food once in a while.

Personally, I’ve flipped over the young Sri Lankan-Englishwoman M.I.A. Her new CD, Kala, along with the likes of Winehouse’s, should be enough to shut critics up about the direction of pop music today.

Heard the new KT Tunstall yet? I’ve only heard samples and am hoping that it’s decent.

The Amy Winehouse CD is insanely good – it’s been hyped to high heaven and is one of those rare cases where the hype is actually justified.

This is the 3rd Dap-Kings CD, and I recommend them all. They not doing anything new, but they’re doing the old stuff really well.

Thanks, Sam. Sharon Jones is a revelation. Had never heard of the neo-soul movement.

First time I’ve ever heard Amy Winehouse (though I follow her exploits). She’s got so much talent it’s criminal.

Also, the portrait in clinical depression was um, uh, depressing.
