I am completely indifferent to Norah Jones but she was utterly charming on The Daily Show last night. Just a real down-to-earth person.
She did seem like a genuinely nice person who was unaffected by her celebrity. Very sweet. And she admitted to being a fellow addict who isn't allowed to have cable because she would watch too much TV. I had cable once for a couple of weeks, but had to give it up when I found myself face down in the TV gutter, watching an "I Dream of Jeannie" marathon at 4:00 in the morning. It's nice to know that Norah Jones was there with me. Like Norah, I make the one concession of having someone tape the Daily Show for me.
tommyrot, you around? Just wanted to let you know that "Dinkytown" from your CD is getting heavy, heavy rotation on my iPod ...

Hmm, but you would never say that about someone who was actually interesting, would you?

This is me. (Or at least that's my rationale that doesn't involve the fact I have other things to spend $50 a month on. Like more CDs.)

I think there's a difference between somene not being a total diva or airhead, and someone being boring. YMMV.
Yes, it probably does a bit.

Cool. That song just sums up the college experience, don't it? It got lots of airplay on a Minneapolis college station about ten years ago. I think Willie Wisely Trio were local to Mpls - I don't know if they ever had a national following.
And I owe you two CDs - I'll get them out Monday.
The iTunes music store is giving me no love today.
I want Adrian Belew. They don't have the song I want. ("Oh Daddy")
I want "I'm Only Happy When It Rains." Not there.
I want "Stay" done by The Hollies. (I'm not crazy, right, they did do a version of "oh won't you stay ... just a little bit longer"?) Nada.
Feh.
I used to have an Adrian Belew CD with that , I wonder if I still do. If so, I'll burn for you.
Jon, thank you! Allmusic.com is the bestest.
msbelle, I took my outrage on over to half.com, and for $13 (my CD check) I am getting the Belew, the Garbage song, and a Sinead O'Connor CD, which I think I lent to someone in college and never got back. Anyway. But thank you!
