I used to want to grapple Fiona Apple... but that was almost 25 years ago. How's she looking these days?
Still thin, very "eccentric" (= bit loopy), but looks fine.
More importantly sounds awesome.
I used to remember her 2nd album's full name. Let's see if I still do (no cheating): When a pawn hits the conflict, he thinks like a king. What he knows throws the blows when he goes to the fight. And he'll win the whole thing before he enters the ring. There's no body to batter when your mind is your might, and when you go solo you hold your own hand. And if you lose it won't matter, because you know that you're right.

"When the Pawn Hits the Conflicts He Thinks Like a King What He Knows Throws the Blows When He Goes to the Fight and He'll Win the Whole Thing 'fore He Enters the Ring There's No Body to Batter When Your Mind Is Your Might So When You Go Solo, You Hold Your Own Hand and Remember That Depth Is the Greatest of Heights and If You Know Where You Stand, Then You Know Where to Land and If You Fall It Won't Matter, Cuz You'll Know That You're Right"
Damn! Forgot the depth part!

I followed a path online and would up watching Rick Astley cover AC/DC's highway to hell.

She's great. I think this album is quickly becoming one of my favorites of the year.

The piano is nice. I don't care for the melody or her singing it. I dug her 90's stuff, though.
Metal music can be used as a pacifier, apparently:

Mad I like this song so much, firstly because it isn’t that good, secondly because I heard it on tiktok first.
But I can’t stop listening to it, lol.

Highly recommend Jason Isbell and the 400 units new album Reunion. Came out on Friday. He is a legendary songwriter and guitar player in my eyes. I’d recommend his entire catalog solo and with the band.
I have 6 Sturgill Simpson tickets to refund once the box office reopens. Was supposed to go see him and Tyler Childers perform right when this COVID thing was kicking off but it got cxl’d last minute. Still bummed about it.

Been listening to Lady Gaga's new album since my kid downloaded it the other day.
