We can’t decide if this is utterly horrible or campy fun.
Norah Jones comes back with “The Fall”

Pretty little sleeve for a pretty little songstress. We like the details and the costuming. Also, the Persian carpet is a nice touch. It’s called The Fall but it’s arriving in the winter. No word yet on the first single.
Fresh: Video: “Ready For Love” by Tata Young อมิตา มารี ยัง
Our favorite Thai export, Tata Young, has an album under her sleeve and it’s ready for releasing. This is the first single and it’s not bad at all. We loved her rendition of “Come Rain, Come Shine” and we hope there are more cover versions on Ready For Love. We hear she covered “My Bloody Valentine.”

Tori Amos to do a Christmas album
2009 is the year for toriphiles. We get not one, but two studio albums. We still are not off the Abnormally Attracted To Sin binge, in fact yesterday we sat through the entire Tori Amos video collection. And now, we are getting a whole Christmas album by November 10th.
We usually don’t swallow Xmas treats too easily, but we know that Amos will give it her own non-churchie spin. In fact, she is calling it a “winter solstice” album rather than a Christmas album. Strip the songs of their original meaning and give them a newfound darker side like on Strange Little Girls. The album is tentatively titled Midwinter Graces. We already know her version of “Little Drummer Boy” and can’t wait to hear some more tracks on her Dusseldorf Sinful Attraction concert date.
Oprah 24th season opening…
They were standing so still, we knew they were a flashmob. Do the Black Eyed Peas really need any more promotion for their tired old album? She’s opening big, with this and the Whitney Houston exclusive. I wonder what she’s doing for 25th anniversary. did Oprah really have to plug in that phone that bad?
Toni Braxton readies up new single “Yesterday”

The news is out. Toni Braxton’s next single is not “Heart Never had A Hero” or “Get Loose.” It’s actually a new mainstream radio-friendly ballad titled “Yesterday.” It’s MOR and will fair well with adult contemporary audiences.

Kathy Griffin as Kate Gosselin
We really don’t care who Kate Gosselin is. But, Kathy Griffin is a laugh and half and we loves her. Season 5 of Kathy Griffin: My Life On The D-List is fabulously great!
Dragonette are Fixin’ To Thrill
Could they have come up with a more banal cover?
Must-Watch: Video: “I Go I Go I Go” by Wave Machines
Interesting groove. Thank G via J.
Nelly Furtado releases World Mixes

I am not sure what that is but something tells me that she is a little worried about releasing a full-length Spanish album that she is doing a side project for all her worldly fans. What do you think?

He’s pushing the promo as strong as he can with these little impromptu, yet highly entertaining videos. One of them might go viral, you know.

Raf hi tops in a fluro- neoprene upper of hot pink, brown black and the royal blue that’s seen in the shrugs and jackets from the a/w collection. Shoe’s fully lined in leather and the sole’s an off-white vulcanised leather. Amazing.
