Mark Ronson, Amy Winehouse fall off of Bond song

Trouble has been brewing during recording sessions for the song for the new James Bond movie, Quantum of Solace.  The rift has come between producer Mark Ronson and distractions-plagued Amy Winehouse.  Describing her behavior as erratic, Ronson does not believe this will happen unless Winehouse is able to clean herself up, or so the implication goes.  Let’s hope they work things out, as we know that the ensuing result has potential to be great.

New Music: Honeyhoney

From KCRW’s Today’s Top Tune, a band from Venice, CA, Honeyhoney is surf punk rock?  It’s a bit tough to categorize them, but that usually is a good thing.  Think a combination of Amy Winehouse and Dick Dale (with, of course, his Deltones) for this song: enjoy their popular tune:
