You can hear the entirety of Fiona Apple’s new album, The Idler Wheel Is Wiser Than the Driver of the Screw and Whipping Cords Will Serve You More Than Ropes Will Ever Do, on NPR right now.
I’m listening to the first song right now, and I’m afraid I’ve grown out of Fiona, especially now that Beach House has come around. But I admire that the bitch is totally out of her mind.
Fiona Apple announced she’s coming out with a new album yesterday, and it will be titled: ‘The Idler Wheel Is Wiser Than The Driver Of The Screw, And Whipping Cords Will Serve You More Than Ropes Will Ever Do’.
I don’t know what it is, but that title seems dumb to me. Nevertheless, I eagerly await the album’s release with every fiber of my ticking biological clock.
The publicity surrounding the album afforded me a nice excuse to watch Fiona’s video for Criminal, which shows how uninspired the hipster aesthetic is, given that it hasn’t changed since 1997.
Whatever. I’m off to rip out strands of hair and stare at myself in the mirror.
