That's a great song about the U.S. economy! Thanks!

Thanks, wondered when somebody was going to correct that. Pretty fancy hat mute work by J. Walter Hawkes - especially while handling a slide.

 
Yup, I'll second that. Wah-wah-waaaahhhh! 8 from the Nottingham jury.

Going to see Norah Jones soon 8/7/10 in Bethlehem, PA - can't wait.  She is such a talent.

You forgot the option that I prefer to advocate, which is to STOP the stream instead of hitting mute. Save Bill the bandwidth costs!

Cute tune...but she doesn't have any real soul...never cared much for Norah. A good segue after this would be 'Six Months In a Leaky Boat'...by Split Enz.

Oh, I get it.  If you don't like a song on RP, you're not allowed to say so in the comments section.  You're supposed to mute your headphones and shut up.

Tips for reducing your annoyance:
  • Generally you'll come across a big button/dial on the front of your amplifier, this is the volume button - turn it anti-clockwise.
  • Otherwise, look for a smaller button, generally found to one side of the device, that says "power" or possibly "off" or perhaps "on/off" - press it.
  • Other methods if annoyances emanate closer to the head could be to reach up to your ears, there, if you find some items either sticking into your ears or perhaps on/over your ears - gently take them out or off your ears.
  • If annoyances are coming form your pc / laptop, have a look down on the task bar (windows device) for a small 'thingy' that looks a little like a speaker - click on this device and a slider should pop up - slide the button down.
  • If all the above fail:lean forwards, contract quadriceps whilst maintaining balance so as not to topple forwards - within a second or two you will notice your head in a more elevated position. Let things stabilise, then aim head for nearest doorway, lean forwards again, this time to prevent toppling, move one foot  / leg forwards, quickly followed by the other. Repeat whilst maintaining head towards doorway. Annoyances will slowly fade away with each cycle of movement. Repeat until no longer annoying!


 
Dear Neil66,
you are very rude and very funny.

Love this funky stuff from Ms. Jones.

She and her band did a local interview awhile back, apparently they were doing small gigs around Dallas (?) using various aliases. One of them was 'The Well Hungarians', but eventually they had to quit using it 'cause there was already another band with the name. Too funny. She sounds like a fun person to hang out with.

The year before she won her first Grammy she was at SXSW Festival in Austin handing out flyers for her show. She personally handed me a flyer and invited me to her show. I'm so mad at myself for not going to see her. So much new talent at that festival that you never can decided who to see.

It's the 'wah-wah' effect with the mute that really makes this number. Classic blues. 7 from the Nottingham jury.

I hear you there!  I was so sure this was a cover of a Waites song when I first heard it.  It's no cover, but surely it's influenced by his music!

In a boat that's built of sticks and hay,
We drifted from the shore,
With a captain who's too proud to say,
That he dropped the oar,
Now a tiny hole has sprung a leak,
In this cheap pontoon,
Now the hull has started growing weak,
And we're gonna be sinkin' soon.

Hmm... wonder what that's about. A lot of the songs on this CD are about a similar subject... hmm... could it have something to do with the state of America? No, it couldn't be.
