things the world should know

[bryiarrose]

it would seem there's a new cake album in the works. this can only be good news. why is october so far away? for that matter, why is august so far away?

while eating my parents food, i've discovered that special k red berries is surprisingly good. who knew.

as sinca pointed out a bit ago, apparently there's a new fiona apple album they're keeping from us:

"Fiona Apple's new album, Extraordinary Machine, has been shelved by Sony, according to a recent Rolling Stone interview with Jon Brion, her producer. Supposedly, Sony cannot find a single and is unsure how to promote the record. There is no word yet on how long this will take."

two songs have been leaked (you can find both here courtesy of citizen keith) and i think they're amazing. "extraordinary machine" came first and then a bit ago "better version of me" got out too. the first especially reminds me of something out of a 30's or 40's musical, the second, something like that crossed with more traditional fiona. at any rate, she's working with jon brion as producer, so i have complete faith that this will be a kick ass recording once sony gets off their asses and lets us have it.

and lastly, while i admit it's a terrible show upfront, outback jack is really terribly amusing. for those of you who aren't watching it yet (which i think makes anyone that's not borofish or myself), go watch tuesday night. this is the first reality show that i've actually had more than five minutes patience for, and that's something right? okay, maybe not. but it's really funny. trust me.

eta: wow i suck at linking today. think i've fixed it now though.

eta 2 so that i don't spam everyone: i've sold 12 songs and made $2.15! how cool is that? so cool.

Thank you for making my morning. I've known about the Apple album being shelved for awhile, so this is a nice treat for a girl who was expecting not to hear anything from said album for many, many moons. :)

Yay for song selling! Good luck with more sales.

this is why friends lists can be such a useful thing... i wouldn't have heard about it at all otherwise. glad i could help :)

Nice icon. I heard about the Fiona CD early last year, but it was all rumo and speculation then.
