Amy Winehouse Round-Up: When I Spike You, You'll Know You've Been Spoken To

Australian Post Posted by Clem Bastow at 9:08 AM on August 4, 2008

Amy Winehouse new.jpgAfter the whole 'Amy rushed to hospital for a "reaction to some medication"' kerfuffle last week, which left most sane humans wondering what "reaction to some medication" was the new euphemism for, it's good to see that Dad Winehouse has aired his thoughts on the reason for his daughter's emergency admittance.

In short, he reckons someone spiked her drink with ecstasy. Ohhh Mitch, you keep dreamin', old son.

A source said: 'Mitch is furious. He's certain someone put E in Amy's drink - and he's determined to get to the bottom of it.

'He is convinced that one of her hangers-on was responsible and he's waiting for a toxicology report to show what caused her to have a fit.

If by "put E in Amy's drink" he means "Amy put the crack in her pipe", then I'd support Mitch's reasoning fully. Unfortunately, one suspects the reality in this case is somewhat less, well, passive. Shall we all synchronise watches for the next Winegums drug freak-out?

"Stupid" Ravers Annoy Police, Amuse Readers

Australian Post Posted by Clem Bastow at 9:10 AM on February 25, 2008

The News Ltd stable of newspapers loves nothing more than a rave, preferably an "illegal" one, to spice up their news coverage.

It means they can waffle on about ecstasies and "party drugs" and, as they did here, reporters can memorably quote forum members' reactions using only their screen-names ("Ralph Wiggum reported slabs of Smirnoff spirit-based drinks were selling for $240, and cans of spirits for $10") because they are too scared of "ravers" to actually find some in real life and interview them (you know, they might put drugs in your drink!).

So, we were pleased to see the latest installment in this fine tradition of journalistic excellence and moral guardianship:

Hundreds of "stupid" partygoers danced millimetres from death at an underground dance party held at the base of a seaside cliff in Sydney's east, police say.

...

Police Rescue Acting Sergeant Col Benton said it took two hours to evacuate 300 revellers over large slippery boulders and up one long ladder for their own safety. No one was injured.

...

"A number of the people were intoxicated in moderate to heavy states, both with alcohol and illegal drugs."

People at a rave were intoxicated? Good lord, these people are stupider than we first thought!

As one thread on dance forums InTheMix suggested, how about a rave at Herald Sun HQ?

Mr G To Launch Music Career; Hopefully Ja'mie To Follow By Entering 'Dolly' Model Contest

0,,5716369,00.jpgWe know more than a few people who actually took to listening to and/or playing Naughty Girl ("Ecstasy! Ecstasy! E, E, E, E, Ecstasy!"), the climactic club number from Mr G's Summer Heights High magnum opus, back when the series was on the air.

One Defamer Australia pal even went so far as to "drop" the track in the middle of an indie rock club's DJ set.

It goes without saying, then, that there will be a lot of very excited people around the country next week, when Mr G releases the track as an official single!

The popular creation of satirist Chris Lilley, the drama teacher will break out of his small-screen stardom with the stand-out track from Mr G The Musical.

...

He plans a full-scale promotional assault to realise his dreams of achieving greater recognition of his talent.

"I'm planning to use the song as the school bell for a week once it's released. The Principal doesn't know this yet but I've booked in with the PA ladies and I'm going to blast it all over the school. This should help sales," Mr G said.

The 36-year-old scene-stealer said he had already received a huge response to the single, including the remixes by Paul Mac, John Paul Talbot and Stylaz Fuego.

We're impressed to see Paul Mac is in on the joke; we thought he was only interested in playing extended prog jams with Silverchair these days, but it seems Mr "We'd like to thank the ecstasy dealers of Sydney" still has a sense of humour in him!

The single will be available digitally on March 1st and on CD from the 8th.
