WONGIE COUNTRY SONG OF THE WEEK: billie joe armstrong & norah jones - long time gone

billie joe armstrong & norah jones - long time gone
nothing like two great voices getting together for a side project (that was literally recorded in 9 days), covering classic country tunes from the everly brothers album 'songs our daddy taught us'. the ease of this retro gem is just dreamy and i can't wait to hear the rest of this collection!

more new videos: namie amuro, a fine frenzy, norah jones, the polyphonic spree, paul mccartney

namie amuro - hide and seek
[one of japan's biggest female j-pop singers releases the first single from her upcoming album play. though i'm not usually tipped on all things japanese, namie is kind of majorly big with fans of jpop and this single is just too darn catchy to ignore... (and no, i don't speak japanese)]


a fine frenzy - almost lover (rehersals.com live performance) [link 2]
[personally, i'm kind of excited to get ahold of a fine frenzy's debut album one cell in the sea (due mid july) based on what i've heard on her myspace page. as you can see from this performance, the girl is pretty darn good live. so i'm kind of sold at this point...]


norah jones - until the end
[it's kind of weird now that i've seen norah during the press conference to her acting debut for my blueberry nights. basically she's kind of young and goofy, which totally doesn't reflect the music that she sings. perhaps one day she'll record an album that fits the true norah.]


the polyphonic spree - running away
[gosh a video made of 70,000 photos. i've got a headache just thinking about it!]


paul mccartney - dance tonight
[just the fact that michel gondry directed this video is worth the watch alone.]

live wongie: norah jones

with the quiet worldwide release of her 3rd album not too late, one would think that norah jones is going through a bit of trouble with her career of late (well... it is EMI and the LABEL is having internal drama, but hopefully that won't affect her).

the truth of the matter is, norah's releases are kind of (and should be) treated like fine wine, sounding better with time. big media splashes are kind of wasted because her true fanbase will already be buying the album no matter what she puts out. for future fans, the true approach is one of slow build and in the end, the feeling that you've discovered her in your own time.

so until that happens, these live performances are for the rest of us fans! enjoy!
