george martin - in my life

Who he you say well he produced 30 number one hit singles in the UK and 23 number one hits in the USA. Plus the little matter of producing all but one of the Beatles albums. This is a Beatles covers album worth the entry fee alone for the version of "I am the Walrus" Featuring Jim Carrey on keyboards and vocals, and Jeff Beck's cover of "A Day in the Life" which was awarded a Grammy in 2010. Also has Billy Connolly, Robin Williams, Sean Connery and others giving their renditions.

  1. "Come Together" – 4:37 Featuring Robin Williams and Bobby McFerrin on vocals
  2. "A Hard Day's Night" – 3:24 Featuring Goldie Hawn on keyboards and vocals
  3. "A Day in the Life" – 4:44 An instrumental version, featuring Jeff Beck on guitar
  4. "Here, There and Everywhere" – 3:18 Featuring Céline Dion on vocals
  5. "Because" – 3:18 Featuring Vanessa-Mae on violin
  6. "I Am the Walrus" – 4:31 Featuring Jim Carrey on keyboards and vocals
  7. "Here Comes the Sun" (George Harrison) – 3:30 Featuring guitarist John Williams
  8. "Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite" – 2:58 Featuring Billy Connolly on vocals
  9. "The Pepperland Suite" (George Martin) – 6:19 Originally appeared in 1969 album Yellow Submarine, 
  10. "Golden Slumbers"/"Carry That Weight"/"The End" – 5:38 Featuring Phil Collins on drums,

amy winehouse - i told you i was trouble

Another very sad loss dead at 27 a troubled soul with a fantastic voice. In 2006 she won 5 Grammys including Best New Artist, Record of the Year and Song of the Year for once true talent was honoured. Addiction kills and i don't mean the Drink and Drugs i mean the inability to live in this world clean. Some one wrote about Amy in 2008 "Crashing headfirst into success and despair, with a codependent husband in jail, exhibitionist parents with questionable judgement, and the paparazzi documenting her emotional and physical distress". I hope she has found some peace.

1.Intro/"Addicted"
2."Just Friends"
3."Cherry"
4."Back To Black"
5."Wake Up Alone"
6."Tears Dry On Their Own"
7."He Can Only Hold Her"
8."Doo Wop (That Thing)" (Lauryn Hill cover)
9."Fuck Me Pumps"
10."Some Unholy War"
11."Love Is A Losing Game"
12."Valerie"
13."Hey Little Rich Girl" feat. Zalon & Ade
14."Rehab"
15."You Know I'm No Good"
16.Encore: "Me & Mr. Jones"
17.Encore: "Monkey Man"
18.Outro: "End/Goodbyes"
