“Like he’s in your living room,” is perhaps the biggest musical cliché for describing an intimate, stripped-down performance. And ever since Jennifer Gilson and husband Steve Rosenthal founded New York City’s Living Room venue on the Lower East Side in 1997, the two envisioned a nightclub offering the same comfort, social ease and artist-audience connection that a dude plucking his acoustic in a home full of close friends might provide. Beginning last night at 8 p.m. with an Elvis Costello tribute night, The Living Room is currently celebrating its 10th anniversary with two weeks of special performances from the likes...  read more

The internet house is divided over Norah Jones covering the Arcade Fire.

Running a German blog’s opinion through a free translation website leaves us with this opinion: “Entirely quiet remain: It is! Norah stands entirely behind the song, presses smuggles itself not before and the volumes another couple Countrysprenkel drunter discreet.” Couldn’t have said it better ourselves (though, if we had to try, we'd say that while the vocals have conviction, the instrumentation occasionally veers from nicely understated...  read more

On a music-video set just south of downtown Los Angeles, on an industrial strip trafficked by semis and surrounded by railbeds, a bewigged Norah Jones is dancing with a man in a tuxedo. Wait, make that a man in a form-fitting lime-green body stocking with a tuxedo pinned to his chest.  read more

On a music-video set just south of downtown Los Angeles, on an industrial strip trafficked by semis and surrounded by railbeds, a bewigged Norah Jones is dancing with a man in a tuxedo. Wait, make that a man in a form-fitting lime-green body stocking with a tuxedo pinned to his chest. In this converted garage behind a Streamline Moderne façade, Jones is working out some on-the-fly choreography to “Sinkin’ Soon,” from her new album Not Too Late. “Can we try that one more time?” the dancing musician asks director Ace Norton, 24, who chews gum and patrols the set sockless...  read more
