A Plane Ticket For A Song
I've been waiting for Fiona Apple to come to town for six years, ever since she cancelled her When The Pawn tour the very morning that the tickets for the Dallas show went on sale. Finally, after what has essentially been a ten year absence (I don't count opening for that popular British band I don't like), she's playing two shows in Texas in early July - and of course, I'll be gone for both of them. I'm considering the possibility of flying back just to see her play; not because I'm obssessed or anything, but just because I'm so tired of waiting. I suppose it'll all come down to whether or not I have any money in two weks.
Brad recently released an amazing EP on his net label by an artist known as adcBicycle. The full album will be released by Noise Factory later this year, but for now you can download the first five tracks for free. It's along the electronic instrumental lines of Godspeed You Black Emperor, and it's very invigorating material to listen to while writing.
Or not writing, as circumstances may be: my self-imposed deadline for finishing this script about decomposition has been egregiously overlooked. I decided to go out back and make an experimental film instead. I'm still cleaning the dirt out of my ears.
