by Mof Gimmers

Amy Winehouse’s death was felt sincerely by many, including her ex-husband, Blake Fielder-Civil. He’s riddled with anguish, invariably soundtracked by a chorus of boos from those who need someone to blame for Winehouse’s troubles. However, Blake believes he could have saved Amy.

Amy Winehouse Has Funny, Moving Funeral

by Mof Gimmers

More Amy Winehouse news, and this time, something rather sweet in the face of the story’s obvious misery. This afternoon, Winehouse was cremated as music execs, band mates and friends and family got together to send the singer off at a synagogue in North London.

Amy Winehouse Knew She’d Join The 27 Club (Nothing To Do With S Club 7)

by Mof Gimmers

‘The 27 Club’ is one of the most depressing things in popular culture. That’s because its a construct of regrettably long-living music pundits, trying to put a glamorous slant on the needless, untimely death of a young person. And so, Amy Winehouse has now ‘joined’ Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, Kurt Cobain and Janis Joplin in [...]

Ha! Ha! Ha! Amy Winehouse Died Alone And Too Young! Ha!

by Mof Gimmers

When a young talented person dies, it always makes for the most arresting, gruesome spectacle. Away from the obvious sorrow of someone being taken too young, there’s a myriad of sideshows which compel like car-crashes. What is most fascinating about the death of a young person is the reaction from those that didn’t know her [...]

Gig Review: Soul Rebels Brass Band @ Band On The Wall, Manchester

by Mof Gimmers

Soul Rebels Brass Band have a story. And fuck, the white middle classes who will be fawning over this lot as they make their way around Europe, love a tale of triumph over adversity.

Amy Winehouse: Professional Alcoholic And Recovering Singer

by Mof Gimmers

Remember when Amy Winehouse was a singer who everyone either liked, or kinda liked? Then, she hit the sauce with the kind of vigour not seen since Keith Moon’s liver ran out on him. Alas, ever since the gargantuan success of ‘Back To Black’, she’s done sod-all apart from puke and stagger. Of course, this [...]

Katy Perry Offers Jessie J Career Advice, Which Hopefully Includes Hint To Stop Singing Altogether

by Mof Gimmers

Jessie J went from being ‘quite promising’ to ‘gigantic irritant’ almost overnight. There’s something incredibly cold and desperate about her (and not in a fun way). She’s started to enjoy the smell of her own farts while everyone else is dry heaving in the vicinity. Of course, it ain’t easy being a new pop star. [...]

Live Review: Dylan Moran

by Si Sharp

It’s hard to believe that Dylan Moran is only now on the cusp of middle-age. His misanthropic character always made him seem world-weary for a young man. His passionate but impotent feeling of victimhood, the ease with which he could see through the façade of social mores and the fact that even in his twenties [...]
