i know she’s made the blog rounds already, but i’d be remiss if i did not share an amy winehouse video with those of you who aren’t yet familiar. i’ve chosen “you know i’m no good” as the ¡viva la graham! video of the week even if the title is misleading (she is, in fact, very good). the charming jazzy number is the first u.s. single and it reminds me a bit of ms. dynamite’s “it takes more” — both instrumentally and vocally (but obviously without the rapping).

amy’s smooth sophomore album, back to black, just entered the billboard charts at no. 7, so congrats to ms. winehouse! looks like us yanks have discerning tastes after all… at least every now and then.

hmmm. i wonder what lily allen has to say about this.
