You Aint Worth Guest List

On Tuesday night, I saw Patrick Wolf and Amy Winehouse at Highline Ballroom in Chelsea. It was pretty phenominal. I hadn't heard much of Patrick Wolf before the show, but he played such an incredible set that the next morning I ran out and picked up his record The Magic Position before work. And it's amazing. I'm totally lame for not getting that record before. Patrick, you are amazing. Not only is he a talented singer and storyteller, but he's a fantastic performer.


And as far as Ms. Winehouse. Well what can I say? The woman is a goddess. Her voice is almost unearthly. I mean, really, who sings like that anymore? She went on around 9:30 and opended up with "Addicted," which is a song that I'm pretty obsessed with at the moment. She also played "F*** Me Pumps," "Cherry," "Wake Up Alone," "He Can Only Hold Her," "Tears Dry On Their Own," "Valerie," "Love Is A Losing Game," and "Back to Black." She "closed" with "Rehab" and encored with "Me & Mr. Jones" and "You Know I'm No Good." Her band is full and rich and wonderful, and her backup singers are soulful and can harmonize so well. She made a couple of jokes and twirled her hair and was a pleasure to be entertained by. I'd see her again in a heartbeat. To see more pictures from the show, click on the picture below.


And can I just say that as I'm writing this right now, they're playing "Wake Up Alone" on Gray's Anatomy. Radness.

There was a huge picture of Amy on the front page of the Arts section of the NY Times, and Georgia brought it in for me, so that I could add it to my "Amy Winehouse Picture Collection" in my cube. Whenever she's see anything in a paper or magazine that is Amy Winehouse related, she gives it to me, and I put it up. I can't wait until it gets all full.
