Norah Jones - Norah Jones - Chasing Pirates

Norah Jones� new first single from upcoming album 'The Fall� is a short but fantastic song. It brings an immediacy that is not as obvious in some of her previous work; it is at once hypnotic and catchy, occupying an evocative dreamscape of a sleepless night spent distracted by her thoughts. The drums lead a pulsing groove smoothly along, propelling Jones� airy voice to the fore, with enigmatic lyrics and a sultry delivery. As a taste of what her album may offer, this is truly enticing.

Norah Jones - Norah Jones

aving been billed as Norah Jones's "guitar album," The Fall comes burdened with some expectations that the vocalist has shaken up her trademark formula of tasteful piano arrangements, light percussion, and effortless vocal turns. The album only intermittently works as a departure for Jones, then, because the lone signature element of her style that has changed is the lead instrument she uses. The piano licks are scarce, replaced by some electric guitar riffs that are clean and restrained. Producer Jacquire King simply doesn't bring any of the raw, nervy energy to The Fall that he has brought to albums by...

The Rolling Stones - Phish Cover Rolling Stones Exile On Main Street

On Halloween, Phish choose a classic album to cover live if they have a gig. This year, they covered The Rolling Stones `Exile On Main Street`.

The show in Indio, California featured a special guest appearance from Sharon Jones and three horn players from the Dap Kings featured on ‘Sweet Black Angel’.

What is interesting in this choice of Stones albums is that The Rolling Stones themselves have never performed four of the songs live. ‘Soul Survivor’, ‘Turd On The Run’, ‘Casino Boogie’ and ‘Let It Loose’ have never been played at a Stones gig.

Phish picked ‘Exile On Main Street’ from a...

Amy Winehouse - Amy Winehouse Planning Comeback For 2010

It is very much my pleasure to announce that my favorite British songstress, Amy Winehouse, is planning her comeback for 2010.

She is finally completely drug free, which means there is some awesome new music to come, I cannot wait. Music label executives at Island Records are saying that she’s got a new album planned for next year.

Island Records Co-President Darcus Beese, said, “I’ve heard a couple of song demos that absolutely floored me. (She has been writing and recording) in fits and starts. Hopefully we’ll have her album next year.”

Winehouse is also set to take the...

The Beatles - McCartney: The Beatles Discussed A Reunion

The Beatles officially split up in 1970 after recording the Let It Be album. Paul McCartney was the first to go but it’s thought all four members knew the band’s time was coming to an end anyway. They left a legacy and back catalog of music that is still felt and heard to this day. Especially with the release of remastered albums and The Beatles: Rock Band video game.

However, it appears it could have all been so different, as Paul McCartney has revealed to Entertainment Tonight that the band seriously discussed a reunion. In the decade after The...

Amy Winehouse - Amy Winehouse cat calling

Amy Winehouse is posing as her cat to send secret messages to Blake Fielder-Civil.

The 'Rehab' singer has created a profile for her pet feline Shirley on social networking site Facebook and is using it to talk to her estranged husband, who she is in the process of divorcing.

In a series of bizarre messages, Amy refers to Blake � who is in rehab in Yorkshire, north England � as 'Sailor', known to be one of her nicknames for him.

One of the rambling posts reads: "Oi mummy was saying to her friend about the time she made you breakfast and you drank...

The Beatles - The new Beatles Rock Band seems like loads of fun!

I’m not really a fan of the whole Guitar Rock/Rock Band gimmick. I don’t know, I guess I’ve never found any fun or joy in the games, even though everybody plays them. I’m not gonna go around making hypocritical remarks like “learn to play a real instrument,dude!” or “Metallica on Rock Band? You guys are so fucking selling out all over again,” it’s just that the concept of having a controler with four buttons which need to be pressed at a certain interval depending on a song’s beat doesn’t seem quite fun. I’d rather be frantically pushing a controller as...
