Let us hope Amy fails to cut anything on this mirror

How cool does Mirror's Edge look? This cool:
It's an action adventure game that makes me think of Prince of Persia, but done in first-person perspective with the gameplay mechanics showcasing parkour. Check out the French movie District B13 for a good example of this style of physical movement.
Totally unrelated, but it looks like Amy Winehouse has finally completed her descent and completely wrecked her entire train. She needs rehab like Bush needs to line up his coke. Thank you Family Guy.

It's a bit of a downer. Talented girl, Grammys aplenty, fans buying out her tickets within minutes, tapped to do the next Bond theme song, and nothing to show for it but bad press about her thuggish-ruggish man and her addiction-fueled behavior.

Keith Richards leaves defeated

Absolutely hilarious material from theonion.com. I hope she's able to pull out of her tailspin and moderate her drug use. Maybe then she can renew some performance dates. If she's able to make a comeback, it'd be a killing. Otherwise, the best she could hope for would be to crash out at Dave Chappelle's spot in South Africa, get straight and come back to do small venues.

Did you see the Rolling Stone interview? You should check out the paper version as the online is just an excerpt, but it definitely paints a gnarly state of affairs of substance abuse. Not that I'm one to follow the drama rags, but anytime I hear the word "speedball" I think first-class, one-way ticket to a dirt-nap.

Drunk on Amy Winehouse

She's cool. Her debut (Frank) is finally seeing light in the states...four years after its initial release in her native U.K. Her most recent album (Back to Black) has gone triple plat in her homeland...probably because the Brits jock American soul music so hard...but the appeal is clear: she sounds great and seems to embody that old school sass.

I won't reiterate all the descriptions about her smoky vocal style, which some say is reminiscent of Billy Holliday, or the beehive which smacks of The Ronettes, but I guess I just did. Regardless, some of the music, though it may sound like Motown or old school jazz, it's definitely a 21st century interpretation...let's just look at "Fuck Me Pumps", as an example. Don't be thrown by the title.

Check her out when she performed on Dave.

The Rolling Stone also did an interesting article on her.
