In Foreign Tonguesthe album they will release on July 10, the Rolling Stones have included a cover of You Know I'm No Good by Amy Winehouse, with Mick Jagger on harmonica. It's not unusual for them to cover soul and R&B, but they're usually ultra-vintage songs, not a relatively recent (in the history of popular music) song like the one from Back to Black.“We decided to cover a female artist,” Jagger told ad Uncut. «We reviewed many soul songs from the 60s and 70s and then we said to ourselves: we are recording in England, let's do a song by…

By comparison, tracks like “God” and “Misery” are the best demonstrations of matt proxy’s individualism. The latter materializes fuzzy and squeaky, the beat and vocals compressed like a chintzy Limewire bootleg. “Darling, I’m not blaming you for all my misery,” the sample cries as proxy mulls over his personal failures and the trials of a youthful long-distance relationship. But just as quickly it all fades out, and a new, deeply exultant beat bursts like a supernova, full of fist-pumping drums and beautiful, harmonious Auto-Tune crunch. “God” is equally triumphant. Featuring never goodbye and bedroom-rock mainstay Current Joys, its climax is…

McCutcheon came up a decade later,…
