Vale, Amy. It was not unexpected, but sad nonetheless. On another note, there are no words for how envious I am of my international friends who can listen to Pandora and Spotify. Love, a jealous Australian.

Another sad news guys :( Amy Winehouse has been found dead at her home in London, it has been reported. The Back To Black singer was apparently found at 4pm and her death is believed to be unexplained. Winehouse had been seen with her goddaughter Dionne Bromfield earlier this week as the teenager took to the stage at the iTunes festival.

He was so much more than The Revolution Will Not Be Televised. It's a huge loss.

What a terrible news, guys! Gil Scott-Heron dies at age 62. SoulTracks.com: "Gil Scott-Heron, one of the most influential artists of his generation, whose mesmerizing spoken word, often politically-charged music would set the stage for new levels of artistic expression in popular music, has died in New York at age 62. Often called the "Godfather of Political Rap Music," Scott-Heron influenced an entire generation of artists."

You're right but there are some songs who are already out on the Internet or on the radio. But for sure, you have a point here
