That said, Dreamworld <3 <3 <3

I like it enough.

the Spanish parts just about ruin it. but the verses are so good (imo) that I can just block out Jenny's mangled nuestra cosa...

Dejalo always reminds me of Gloria Estefan.

I think half of Blacklight is awesome and half of it is filler.
I can't wait for the new Jenny solo album though

Pitchfork asked Tom Waits what he thought and he was actually okay about it:

Pitchfork: I'm sure you know Scarlett Johannson is recording an album of your songs?

Tom Waits: Well no, I read about it in the paper.

Pitchfork: No one consulted you beforehand?

Tom Waits: No, no. But, you know, more power to her.

Pitchfork: Are you excited to hear it?

Tom Waits: I don't know if I'm excited to hear it, but I'm curious. People make songs so that somebody else will hear them and want to do them. I guess it's an indication that the songs aren't so ultra-personal that they can't possibly be interpreted by anyone else. I've seen her in movies. I don't know what she's going to do with the tunes. When you get a hold of somebody else's song, you make it your own. That's all you can do. And that usually requires a certain amount of tailoring. Cut the sleeves off, lay some buttons. Everybody does something different to a song, that's the tradition.

wow. i really don't get her appeal but i guess i'll give it a listen when it leaks!
