LateRooms.com - Joanna Newsom to Perform in Paris

Harpist Joanna Newson will perform two shows at the Bouffes du Nord in Paris.

2010-12-24

PARIS, FRANCE, December 24, 2010 (Press-News.org) Music fans staying in Paris hotels have a chance to enjoy the distinctive sounds of American singer-songwriter Joanna Newsom next month.

Known for her eccentric, unbridled creativity and ambitious album projects, the California-born performer is due to perform at the city's Bouffes du Nord theatre on January 14th and 15th.

Newsom's main instrument is the harp, although her third studio album Have One on Me saw the artist incorporate more piano, harpsichord, electric guitar and orchestral sounds into her songs than previous efforts.

Released earlier this year, Newsom's most recent album is a triple LP that was praised for bringing a newfound accessibility to her work, despite its length.

In a review of a concert at London's Royal Festival Hall in May, the Guardian said that for all her idiosyncrasies, the 28-year-old's music displays "a melodic sensibility in the classic American tradition".

The newspaper also noted an improvement in Newsom's vocals, claiming that a "softer, more natural timbre" has replaced the unusual style found on her 2004 debut album The Milk-Eyed Mender.

Scottish folk musician Alasdair Roberts is due to support Newsom at her two Paris concerts, for which tickets are priced at EUR32 (GBP27.20).

Roberts has released music on Drag City, the Chicago-based label that also puts out Newsom's records.

The Dangers of Drowsy Driving and New Jersey Law

2010-12-24

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) estimates that one in every six fatal car accidents results from a fatigued driver.

In a study by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety, 41 percent of the drivers surveyed admitted to having fallen asleep at the wheel. Also, more than a quarter of the drivers reported that within the last month they drove despite being so tired that they had trouble keeping their eyes open. Drowsy ...

Recession Continues to Affect Divorcing Parties

2010-12-24

In 2008, many predicted that the recession would have a negative effect on marriages, as job losses and mounting debt would lead to more divorces. The divorce rate has steadily declined in the last two years, but the recession has changed the tenor of many divorces. Couples not accustomed to concession found themselves in awkward circumstances where the lack of resources forced them to make economical, "couple-focused" decisions even though they are no longer together. Decisions on Property With the housing market depressed, couples are no longer fighting over who ...

Shortcuts and Forgeries Mar the Foreclosure Process and Should There be a National Blanket Moratorium on Foreclosures?

2010-12-24

By John J. Scura II It was reported in the Washington Post on September 23, 2010, that the already overburdened foreclosure system is now buried in problems due to increased volume, leading to forged signatures, lenders who take shortcuts reviewing borrowers' files, and even judges signing off on foreclosure papers prematurely, deserting their role as final gate keeper. As an attorney, given the fact that we are talking about whether or not people's homes will be saved, I am appalled that such things are happening. Over the last ten years, we have run the gamut from ...
