Fiona Apple - Extraordinary Machine
June 30th, 2004 by Rachelandthecity
I’m having a very mild freakout over this song. I have been waiting patiently for the new Fiona Apple record for quite some time, but alas, it sits finished on the shelf at Sony because there seems to be some confusion on how to market it. Fiona isn’t for everyone, I know, but those that do connect with her are extremely devoted. If the record company is nervous about recouping the cost of the album they could at least release it as a download only for the fans. I think that they would be pleasantly surprised in the sales department as Fiona’s cult status has only grown while she’s been away. The album was produced by the always brilliant Jon Brion who has been behind the controls of some freakishly good albums.

This is outrageous. Where’s the full leak so that a Yankee Hotel Foxtrot-esque campaign for it can begin?

Very cool quirky little song! I accidently created an even more interesting version of it by unknowingly running it in two windows about 5 seconds apart. The overlap somehow worked amazingly well, creating some great interweaving vocal lines. I got halfway through the song before I realized it wasn’t supposed to sound like that!

The Beck song (Everybody’s Gotta Learn Sometime (cover)) on the Eternal Sunshine ST is one of my favorite songs of the year. Brion is a genius, and so is Michel Gondry.

It’s her own fault for signing to a major label. Idiot.

I could not agree more…the cult is growing. I have been a loyal Fiona Fan since the sixth grade and I will always be. I don’t understand how Sony cannot find a single…Better Version of me is freaking perfect. Anyway, Fiona is amazing and I can’t wait until her CD is actually Out so I can buy it, because my downloaded version is of crappy quality (but deeply loved).
