when last fiona apple shared a stage with funnyman jimmy fallon, the songstress had a bit of a meltdown. but all that hullabaloo behind them, apple, with some help from the roots on the disjointed percussion of the song, performed the idler wheel… standout “anything we want” and absolutely decimated the song. and as a bonus, performed a cover of paul mccartney & wings’ “let me roll with it” in honor of the former-beatles’ 70th birthday. catch the bonus track above, and the interview and “anything” performance at the audioperv link below.
and if you’re in the reading mood, there is a super in-depth piece on apple on vulture. stunning stuff.
