Mike McCready Joins Soundgarden Onstage

On Saturday night, Mike McCready joined Soundgarden onstage at their LA show to perform Superunknown with them. Much thanks to Yishai for pointing out the video to me.

Mike also just (when I say just, I mean 2 minutes before I’m writing this) posted himself covering Song Of Healing, which is apparently a song from the video game “Zelda.” Enjoy!

Amy Winehouse: 1983 – 2011

It was with sadness that I turned on the computer after Shabbat this week to discover that Amy Winehouse had passed away. Her life was a tragically brilliant one, with her unbelievable talent weighted down by her demons of addiction. Her sultry jazz voice was well beyond her years, and the beautiful songs she wrote didn’t always seem to match her persona.

And while the gossip columnists will spend the next few weeks hypothesizing about the cause of death, at the end of the day that’s irrelevant. What we had here was a fantastic singer and songwriter who was taken well before her time – joining the terrible 27-club already populated by Jimi Hendrix, Brian Jones, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, and Kurt Cobain. Now, Amy Winehouse too, is a member. She has tragically joined the ranks of a legion of brilliant musicians who all died well before their time.
