Sad. She had so much potential… |

Haven't heard this in a long, long time. I'm really enjoying it too. I raise my glass to Fiona Apple. Anyone else want a drink?

this is what Tori Amos would be like if she was likeable... and less depressing...

What a well-turned song! It's been in my Radio Paradise Favorites playlist almost since Day One and seems to improve with every hearing.

Don't forget to let us all know when your CD drops, okay? |

Gosh, Procliviites, I dont' think anyone suggested they were superior, just of a different bent regarding this particular artist.
As for Kool-Aid flavours that I have imbibed, I confess to being under the influence of: Leonard Lemon Cohen,
Warren Whiskey Zevon
Neil Sour Lime Young
Shane Guiness MacGowan I guess we all have our favorite voices that may be classically trained!

I'm totally addicted to her voice, velvety but feels like a scratch... I could listen to her all day long. Love it.

She always sounded so knowing with her phrasing. Brilliant, and hard to reconcile with her youth. |

Fiona Apple - Paper Bag Portishead - Sour Times RJD2 - Smoke & Mirrors
Bill, it is saturday morning 10.45 here, and you are definitely setting a perfect soundtrack for that: mellow, happy with life, without ignoring the melancholy and sharp edges that are there.... Thanks!

Like all 90s twit singers, her time is long over, never to reappear, except perhaps at the local state fair grounds.

She's written a lot of great songs, but I think this one is just *perfect*. 10.

This song has one of my all time favourite videos (with the kids in the bar). Can't seem to find it at Youtube...  A 10 song from a 10 album, anyway. |
