Misunderstood

Just Wonderful.

Rome

It's been a while.  Let me try and make it up to you . . . 

Here's a link to Norah Jones performing one of the strongest songs from album of the year candidate (2011): Danger Mouse and Daniel Luppi's "Rome" (featuring Jack White and Norah Jones)  

There are rumors that DM & DL are planning on releasing an animated feature film based on the album.  Here's a taste:

Record Biz Braces for Legal Battles Over Copyright Law

 

Sounds like a hell of a battle brewing:

Starting in two years, the rights to classic albums by some of rock's biggest acts, including Bruce Springsteen's Darkness on the Edge of Town, Billy Joel's 52nd Streetand the Eagles' The Long Run, could revert back to those artists. The change threatens to upend the music business – putting more cash in musicians' pockets and less in those of the labels.

Artists and labels are both bracing themselves for a long period of litigation. "We're just at the beginning of this," says Copyright Office administrator George Thuronyi. Adds Henley, "Having dealt with record companies for over 40 years, I know nothing's easy with them. But it would mean a great deal to us and our heirs. The future ain't what it used to be, as someone once said."
