Norah

So the new album is the first Norah Jones I didn't automatically buy when it came out. I still don't really love the last one a lot, so maybe that's why I'm hedging a bit. I am a bit sad that she transitioned to guitar from piano, but she still writes great songs.

Thanks to friend Dennis for sharing this absolutely lovely video. She looks beautiful in every "look" that she sports in this although the story line is a bit macabre.

Geng-genga-geng

I don't check in on soul-sides as much as I used to. I catch his Facebook posts and will check the site now and again, but am stoked when a new episode of The Sidebar pops in in my podcast downloads. The last one he posted was not my favorite, but as usual, one of the songs that got played was something that I had always wondered about but never knew.

I've loved this Blueboy track since I heard Mark Farina play it back in the day. I found the 12" and have gotten many a dance floor moving to it in my time, but never knew the vocal sample.



Thanks Marlena Shaw for your geng-genga-gengs.



I know I've heard that "put your hands together" in a track as well too.
