The Sea and Cake Rock On New Album

The Sea and Cake are going in a more rock driven direction on their new record Car Alarm according to Billboard. 

Sam Prekop says the new album "does feel much more upbeat and as much in your face as the Sea & Cake can be."

Her new record "Who Killed Amanda Palmer" is due September 16th on Roadrunner.

Aaah yes. Gotta love that Amy Winehouse.

Doctors want her to stay in the hospital, so she fills her weekend with a Nelson Mandela concert followed by playing Glastonbury where she punches a fan in the face.

The fan has spoken out now to British media saying Winehouse mistakingly hit him, when he was actually the guy filming the performance.

It turns out the guy behind him threw his hat that hit her precious beehive, sparking the conflict.
