The Idler Wheel Is Wiser Than The Driver Of The Screw & Whipping Cords Will Serve ...

very psyched to pick this up on Tues. Somehow, I really never gave Fiona a listen before...been streaming this one on NPR's First Listen and even there, it sounds excellent.

Yea, I'd almost given up on hearing something to really knock me out this year, then kind of out of nowhere this comes along. I'm sure there was a lot of advance publicity, and probably a lot of nice fanfare and reviews, but I missed it all. Makes it even better.

But we could still support each other ... all we gotta do is avoid each other...

I've always been a little indifferent to Fiona as well, I like her, but ather than the debut, never went out of my way. This one does have a nice mix of sounds and styles. Completely different, but kinda reminds me some of Bjork's Post, which I've been listening to a lot lately, and which is one of my favorites.

Well recorded? A whole lot better than most, especially over the past several years. Sadly, I'm not enjoying the music at all.

Yea, I can kinda see that, but it is too bad. Great record, even forgetting the sound. Very inventive, lyrically, musically and sonically. Really all over the place but not messy at all, just keeps moving along while I'm listening. I haven't read much about it, but know it has gotten some mixed reviews, so not surprising that a somewhat challenging record isn't loved by all

Nothing wrong when a song ends in the minor key

I post on occasion as time allows. If you want my Fiona Apple disc I'll just tell you now that I downloaded the flac files to try it out first, otherwise it would be on the first flight to Canada!

Thanks anyway, Jim, I appreciate the sentiment.

Nice to chat with you - it seems like ages since we crossed each others' path.

You know I tried to snag some flac files from Davey's song of the day link, but I can't seem to get a download of the flac conversion program to work for me on my mac.

Aren't you a Mac user? Maybe you have some ideas that might work for me.

I think most use XLD for those conversions that aren't supported directly by Apple ... X Lossless Decoder: Lossless audio decoder for Mac OS X

Awww... :-(
