Music is my Radar

So I should be working by now but I stumbled across some amazing news that I must share!

I really miss Fiona Apple.  Especially whilst travelling and her music would come on my Mp3 player and I would be saddened that she has not released anything new in years.  I "like" artists on fb in order to receive updates about new albums and tour dates and giveaways and at times I have even learned of free last minute shows through this.  Today as I scroll the news (no offence friends but I pay a tad more attention at times to the artists I like and the Zeitgeist Movement and George Takei etc.) I see an update from John Mutherfluffing Frusciante!  Immediately I assume this is some sort of joke.  John never has a facebook update.  But sure enough he put up a link that has a written message from the man himself about his two new albums coming out this summer!  I read the last few comments on the link and someone else wrote about how Fiona Apple has a new album out this June!  WHOA!  Yeah these are the things in life that get my heart pumping and I am now ready to start a long day of pressing in the basement with so much joy in me I cannot explain!  Who needs coffee on a morning with great news such as this?

  1. You know, I never listened to fiona apple, but there's always time to try something new :) I so do love Asa and Parov Stelar and everything else I'm listening to right now, dear friend. I gotta go to bed, I'm prolonging slumber in the name of music.

  2. My next cd to you will be all the fiona apple stuff I have! Then we can sing aloud for all to hear! Asa (pronounced asha) has a special story behind it. I discovered her while in a bar/cafe in Exarchia (the neighbourhood in Greece I fell in love with). I was alone for about an hour while my friend was outside skyping his girlfriend. In Greece the music at bars and cafes are played by the staff and they usually have amazing taste and it is also personal to whom is playing it. Jailer came on and I immediately went, "whoa... must.. know.. who.. this.. is!". So I jotted down the lyrics because I had no idea who it was or the name. Weeks later I googled the lyrics and was able to find the song, Awoman!
