Record Review: Fiona Apple – The Idler Wheel…

Yo,

First off, no bitching about my writing, spelling and or grammar…. I’ll say to you, what a dealer in Las Vegas once said to me.

“Deal With It ”

I’m new here.

Figured I would make my first entry about Fiona Apple! I mean am I the only one in the room that has her lyrics tattooed on his back….

I’m sure I am.

Well holy shit.

So yea she act’s like she’s having a seizure on stage live, and I’ll bet a sizable wager that she doesn’t weigh more than 95 pounds. However, live,  she packs more punch  than a 747 crashing into a chemical plant next to a school full of deaf kids!!!!

Lets talk about the new album.

Fiona Apple has helped me thru some bad times, with some classy ladies.

I once sent her CD to an EX to explain how I felt in a non FUCK YOU sort of way….

The new album has been playing on my shitty, broken iPod since I stole it.

And I’ll be damned if I didn’t go buy that fucker on iTunes today. I’m not gonna lie! I like this album

And I don’t even play softball with manly ladies.

The new album is more organic than her past, she sounds like she’s moved past some fucked up shit she went thru. HOWEVER! The anger and passion are still there. Just listen to her voice. Listen to the pain in her throat. Listen to her emotion. I love these things about this album. I like hearing the human spirit break.

 

My tattoo artist says I’m a sadist.

Well on my next tattoo appointment I will be listening to this album.

Especially the second track “Daredevil”. So far my favorite. It’s intricate and happy and angry and wild at the same time.

 

This album is like finding a bottle with a note in it on the ocean shore, you open the letter and read it. It might not make sense to you right off the bat. But you relate to it.

It’s been about 6 months since some classy lady tore my fucking heart out, but I know when the next one does, this album will be a good friend.

I’m looking forward to her show. (Kingsbury Hall, July 21st)

Here’s to Fiona.

And here’s an old ass picture of her and I.
