I would’ve chosen cosmonauts or even something a little more traditional like Ladies. But I like the energy of shameika

Yeah Werewolf would seem like a safe bet for radio

Ladies might still make it to the radio there's huge potential in that song. The live reception is what I'm most looking forward to though

Great song

Me too. I can’t wait to hear this at a festival. Does she do many of those?

Nah not much recently she's a homebody

But that may have been because she was working on new music. Her last festival show was in 2017 and she did some songs from the album there. There's some clips in the thread a few pages back iirc

Hopefully we can do large gatherings again soon and get a tour out of her xD

Cosmonauts on the radio would be something special

Fiona and radio in 2020 does not compute

song helped me get over an ex

I gave you pictures and cards on non-holidays
And it wasn't because I was bored
I followed you from room to room with no attention
And it wasn't because I was bored

It was because I was loving you so much
It's the only reason I gave my time to you
And that's it, there's a kick and you've given up
'Cause you know you won't like it when there's nothing to do

Check out that rack of his! Look at that row of guitar necks
Lined up like eager fillies, outstretched like legs of Rockettes
They don't know what they are in for and they don't care but I do
I thought you would wail on me like you wail on them but it was just a coochie-coo-coo!

RACK OF HIS one of my favorite songs of the year.

this album is too good

🔥

Robert Christgau gave her her first “A” rating with this record

Fiona Apple: Fetch the Bolt Cutters (Epic) Since The Idler Wheel was also the most acclaimed album of its spring only to be surpassed later in 2012 by Frank Ocean and Lamar Kendrick, I was skeptical about all the 10.0 hoohah until immersion changed my mind. Overwhelming Apple’s usual pianistics with riptides of the avant percussion drummer-producer Charley Drayton brought to The Idler Wheel but is now all Fiona and the software she’s crushing on, the music grows on you before you realize it because it’s not hooky in a hummy kind of way. Instead it’s beaty, clattering like nothing I can recall and hence hard to recall itself—you have to refer back to the record. There the bite and elan of her latest love-don’t-last songs will win over anyone down with both “Kick me under the table all you want/I won’t shut up, I won’t shut up” and the sisterly warmth that softens bite and clatter both: “Shemekia”’s fist bump to a junior high ally, “Ladies” making common cause with fellow exes, “For Her” deploying the abuse stories of a Hollywood intern she feels for. “You raped me in the same bed your daughter was born in”? Some “metaphor,” wouldn’t you say? A

no one is dethroning this aoty

still perfect

i gave you pictures and cards on non-holidays....and it wasn't because i was bored!

favorite line of the year

AOTY still for me

for her is so good
