The Useless Critic 2.0

First of all, I'm very glad Fiona Apple exists. And is still making albums, although this might be her last for a long time. Who knows? It's anyone's call at this point. I can see her just like, being like "this is it. I don't want to deal with you all anymore." and walking away. Hell, I WOULD WALK AWAY. I still remember being much younger and more precocious and going to scoop Extraordinary Machine up after work (at, uh, McDonald's). And it was one of the best decisions I ever made; many a bus ride was spent jamming out to that CD (yes). "Be kind to me or treat me mean. I'll make the most of it, I'm an extraordinary machine." For a while, it was a mantra. And I would love to say that's irrelevant now, but it's as applicable as ever. The older I get, the more sensitive I seem to become. Apparently, all Fiona does is hide in her house and walk her dog at sunrise to avoid people. Give me a few more years and I'll be there...

And here it is: http://www.npr.org/2012/06/10/154422085/first-listen-fiona-apple-the-idler-wheel Thoughts? Comments? Concerns? Check out "Hot Knife." I have what one would call a "lady boner" for it.

I guess my new thing is to post updates about Ashton Kutcher's life. Why? Because he's everywhere. He's like an STD.  So the newest thing on tool Mr. Kutcher's agenda is to play late Apple legend Steve Jobs in an upcoming indie biopic. now let's examine the spectrum:   I guess there's a passing resemblance but really, REALLY? in other news today: - horrific school shooting in California - can Myanmar be saved! - Fiona Apple's new album listing/art is out out out can I make this Titanic month because it's the 100th anniversary and I don't have a copilot right now? SAY YES SAY YES

This is the new Fiona Apple album title. Appreciate.
