My co-worker said to me last week “I think I finally found some music that we can both agree on.” Usually I have to hear about how great System of a Down is, or Avril Lavigne, so I was pretty skeptical. He then proceeds to play me Amy Winehouse. I’ve heard the record a couple of times but still haven’t been convinced enough to pick it up and her performance at Coachella was so so, but that was probably more to do with the venue than her. Regardless, I think I may need to finally break down and buy it. This track comes from her performance in Toronto last week.
