Amy Winehouse Mural
The lyrics are not from Amy’s signature songs, but instead, taken from her cover of “Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow.” The answer, of course, is “we will love you always.” You can see this Amy Winehouse mural and a lot of colorful graffiti at 5 Points in Queens.

RIP, Amy! I don’t know about you, but I still cannot believe Amy Winehouse is gone. I am still so upset over her untimely passing.
I saw this tribute to Amy on the streets of NYC. That’s Army of One in the background.

Mark Ronson
Mark Ronson and the Business Int’l are releasing their new single, the title track from Ronson’s brilliant (and brilliantly overlooked) 2010 album “Record Collection” on September 5, 2011. The track will be a new version that features Pharrell Williams, MNDR, Wiley and Wretch 32. “Record Collection 2012″ brings more edge and energy to the original, backed with a string of amazing remixes by CSS, LOGO, Moonlight Matters, Plastic Plates, DATABASE, and Perseus, who, according to Ronson himself, are all certified “f***in’ bangers!” The single will be released on Kitsuné.
On a personal note, I’ve met Mark Ronson many times and he’s one of the coolest guys on the planet. My heart breaks for him in the wake of Amy Winehouse’s death. He produced her genius album “Back To Black,” and I hope he is doing ok. I only had one experience with Amy Winehouse (meeting her and seeing her in concert – which was truly amazing) and I’ve been gutted ever since I heard the tragic news. I can’t even imagine what Mark is going through. Thinking positive thoughts for you Mark!

Amy Winehouse and Geoffrey Dicker
I am beyond sad to write this news. Singer Amy Winehouse was found dead in her London apartment this morning. She was 27 years of age. The same age as legends who passed on before their time including Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin, Kurt Cobain and Jimi Hendrix. My heart is absolutely broken. I met Amy when she’d just released “Back To Black,” one of my favorite albums of the 2000s and she was so lovely and full of life. I saw her perform the entire record and the night was amazing. She was plagued by drug problems, a broken heart and vile reports from the media that only sought to bring her down further instead of trying to help. The cause of death is unknown at press time, but I guarantee you, the negative reports from the media should definitely be listed as a partial cause of death. In times like this, we must stop watching these news reports and try and figure out solutions instead of being part of the problem. Wherever you are Amy, I hope you are out of pain and your music will always bring a smile to my face. I am so glad I got to meet you in this life. You were truly one of a kind. Rest in peace, legend.
Amy Winehouse
