Is it true that it's possible for the human male to lactate ?

I heard it through the grapevine that on her new album Norma farts "my heart belongs to daddy". Should be a stunner.

I have an advance copy.

Not bad, but when I turn the LP anticlockwise just at the second side run off groove most definately says I WORSHIP AT THE PHALLUS OF MARILYN MANSON.

And she seemed like such a nice girl, too.

Alexis Petridis has it about right:

Heard it yet ?

I haven't..............................

Heard the track with Dolly Parton - utter shite - but others I heard were "Norah-esque".

Now, back to her tits. Fed up looking at Jordan's on IACGMOOH........

Long time

Heard it?

No - I don't need to actually listen to anything to have a strong opinion about it.

Bring back Ravi Shankar!

From the (rather negative) NY Times review:

"Perhaps what listeners respond to in Norah Jones isn't the honesty of the acoustic sounds, but the limited emotional range of the music. Perhaps we want someone who sounds self-assured, sexy, basically happy, talented, and untroubled. (…) Is Ms. Jones making the world safe for soft-rock again? I'm afraid she is."

Looking at the photo I get the feeling the lovely Ms Jones has lost some weight, though.

Hey Hermy Smile

Good to see you haven't been taken by the flesh eating beetles that got my Grandfather while he was in Holland last month. I gather that these attacks are becoming more frequent.

Let's hope that whatever is causing Norma's weight loss will continue until she disappears completely (not in a bad way but in a magical way, like Tinkerbell).

And what is wrong with soft-rock? I for one eagerly await a new Lionel Richie album!

Reviewers seem to love Norah, because she gives them the chance to postulate, theorize, play pop psychologist and economist. I don't understand why the fact that 18 million copies of her first album sold has to signify something deep about the psyche of society. It's just an album. Some like it, some don't. Many less talented (ok, some downright untalented) "artists" have sold many millions more discs than she has.

Norah Jones is ok singer/pianist. CD buyers made her a wealthy one. It took reviewers to make her a psychosocial phenomenon.

I was disappointed from her new album and I gave it away.
Better sound than the first one but nothing exciting in the music department.
