Norah Jones ‘ music is as soft as they come, but the source material for her new album cover was designed to get you hard. Apparently producer Brian Burton (aka Danger Mouse ) has an extensive collection of Russ Meyer posters in his Los Angeles studio, and Jones tells the New York Times that Meyer’s 1965 “roughie” Mudhoney was on her mind while they were recording: “I always was looking at it and thinking ‘that’s so cool I want to look like her!’ I remember staring at the poster the whole time we made the record. It’s a great visual.” Unfortunately the visual is all we’re gonna get from the alluring Ms. Jones. The album cover removes all the amazing taglines from the original Mudhoney poster, like “ Passion debased by lust … leaves a taste of evil! ,”“… a film of ribaldry and violence made from the juice of life!, ” and Skin Central’s favorite, ” You will go away…whispering! ” Also missing are the topless trollops like Lorna Maitland and Antionette Christiani who made the original so MAMorable. Norah Jones isn’t the first musician to admire Russ Meyer – the ’90s grunge band Mudhoney is also named after the film. See what makes Mudhoney so SKINspiring right here at MrSkin.com!
