Amy Winehouse Set For Two Glastonbury Sets? | Caviar Helped Cure Skin Condition

Amy Winehouse continues her fight to keep the tabloid newspaper and music magazine journalists (as well as simple bloggers such as me) in gainful employment.

The Feeling are a band who are never going to be cool, never going to get on the cover of NME, and never going to be the next big thing.

According to NME, Doherty will play a solo show on […]
