It's going to be a very Amy Christmas

OK, I am really busy today, but this was too good to pass up.

NME is reporting that UK pop-wreck Amy Winehouse is planning on recording, yes, a Christmas and Hanukkah album! She'll supposedly be working with her current producer, the ever-popular Mark Ronson. I'm just amused by this whole idea considering the mess Amy seems to be in these days, but hey, more power to her (but you do have to love the juxtaposition of this story with the picture NME decided to use.)

And oh yeah, if you've missed it so far, here's Amy with her new blonde 'do. Dana, you better pick yourself up some hair bleach, eh?

Best of 2007: imaginary Dana's picks

I have so many favorites for 2007 that narrowing the lists was tricky. Plus I'm preggo as a house and have NO memory at this point, so I'm sure I've inadvertently omitted some really great releases and songs. Forgive me and my wacked out hormones.

But that said, here are some Top of 2007 lists from me, to you. Feel free to leave comments both nasty and supportive. I likely deserve both for some of my erratic tastes.

The official results of the TIG Best NW Releases of 2007 Readers' Poll are coming VERY soon... stay tuned! In the meantime, some of my personal picks for a wonderful year in music past:

Favorite Releases of 2007:

Amy Winehouse Back to Black
Okkervil River The Stage Names
Tullycraft Every Scene Needs a Center
Beirut The Flying Cup Club
The Scotland Yard Gospel Choir The Scotland Yard Gospel Choir
Shake Some Action Shake Some Action
Math & Physics Club Baby I'm Yours
John Vanderslice Emerald City
The Cave Singers Invitation Songs

Amy Winehouse arrested! Lily Allen pregnant!

It's been a busy week for celebrity trainwrecks.

igAsh's favorite songs of 2007, with {some} free downloads!

I made a 'Best of '07' compilation for coworkers and thought I'd share my picks with you, in no particular order. Hope you've got a little time to spare!

All downloads have been posted with permission from the bands themselves. Thanks bands!

1. Nicole Atkins and the Sea: "The Way It Is"

I think this is my favorite song of the year. Here's the clip from Letterman.

2. Peter Bjorn and John: "Young Folks"

I'm such a sucker for whistling. And isn't this the most visually satisfying video ever.

New releases for the week, from Easy Street Records

Well, it's another week (weak) of re-issues, remixes, and scraps.
