a lot of sites have “gone black” today in opposition to sopa, which if dont know what i am talking about that video down there breaks it down very well. i thought about not posting, but why censor myself, when others are trying to do the same thing. if anything, i think some folks should be posting more, maybe pushing some limits. these limits not being in an “illegal” fashion, but something outside the norm. im probably talkin out of my ass, as per usual. but, after watching that video, you’ll understand in what a super grey area my site along with a lot of other music blogs travel through and if this thing passes, say bye bye to most of us, including yours truly.

honestly, i have never heard fiona apple’s debut record, or her second, but her third record, extraordinary machine, admittedly, is really freakin good. the actual commercial release is good, but if you can find the jon brion mixed version thats where its at. it is leaps and bounds better than said official release and in secret have been listening to it almost weekly since 2005. i havent been able to find a apple show from that era but here’s a nice fm broadcast from what the title suggests.
1. the child is gone
2. sullen girl
3. sleep to dream
4. the first taste
5. sitting in limbo
6. slow like honey
7. shadowboxer
8. pale september
9. criminal
10. carrion
11. never is a promise
12. use me
13. angel
i am having a hard time finding a source for the Brion version on the interwebs – any chance you could post it or trade you a copy for some mike o’neill demos or other halifax related goodies i might have lying around.
thanks

LOVE her new song “Every Single Night.” Just heard it on her soundcloud page and now I really can’t wait for her new album to come out on June 19th!! Check it out: http://soundcloud.com/fionaapple/every-single-night
