Following the success of the Black Keys' current chart mainstay El Camino, Danger Mouse is next handling production chores on Norah Jones' fifth LP Little Broken Hearts (due out this spring). Along with Jack White, Grammy winner Jones lent her pipes to Danger Mouse and Daniele Luppi's 2011 concept album ROME. A press release notes that the tracks for Little Broken Hearts were recorded in the fall, and Danger Mouse shares co-writing and production credits on all of them. Jones will be hitting theaters, ampitheatres and festivals on a full-fledged tour later this year.

Taylor Swift Joins The Soundtrack Club—But How Does “Today Was A Fairytale” Stack Up Against The Rest?
Wed Jan 20 2010 by Becky Bain
It's pretty much a given that casting a musician in your movie guarantees they'll contribute to the film's soundtrack—and if you're lucky, you'll have a hit song to help promote your flick. The most recent example is Taylor Swift's "Today Was a Fairytale," the lead single off the soundtrack to Valentine's Day. The song was on iTunes for a matter of hours before it hit #1. (As for the fate of the movie? It has to compete with The Wolfman V-Day weekend, so we'll see whether America is in the mood to celebrate romance or, er, not.)
But how does Swift's "Fairytale" compare to the work of other recording artists who've tied in new songs with their big-screen appearances? Let's take a second to reflect on the good, the bad, and hell yes, Glitter: More »

Norah Jones has a new album coming out in November, and it’ll feature contributions from chameleonic musician/famous type Ryan Adams, Okkervil River frontman Will Sheff, and avant-garde guitarist Marc Ribot, as well as songs that she worked on with the co-writer of her breakout hit “Don’t Know Why,” Jesse Harris. (Am I the only person who thought of “Don’t Know Why” as more of a slightly more mannered indiepop song than anything “jazzy”? No? OK.) [Billboard] More »

The birth of a new child is certainly a joyous occasion, especially with the right combination of medications. And while the hospital environment can be a little stressful during the process, there are ways to ease your new child into this world with peace, joy and love.
