Baby can you read my mind?

In this thread at be-jazz, I called for Norah Jones to embrace her inner indie rocker. Now she's gone and covered Arcade Fire's "Ocean of Noise." It's good, too.

UPDATE:

Naturally, it's also on YouTube (though the sound is much, much worse -- it looks like someone just pointed their video camera at the TV):

I can only bow to your jazz blog commenting prescience.

I have to say she ruins the song. Instead of somewhat somber confessional, that song sounds like a bored hum. Maybe it's the quality of recording. Shouldn't she be perfect doing ocean of noise? a beautiful simple melody and crisp guitar line.

I like Calexico's rendition, btw.
I think it's Calexico's drum.

I am tempted to declare ocean of noise the top ten song for 2007. Along with cocorosie's Raphael (from their latest album)

I think the only logical explanation is that Norah Jones is a be-jazz reader.

Squashed is not me, incidentally. He's a famous blogger.
