mtv brazil (that’s a thing?) had first dibs on a new fiona apple track called “dull tool” that was the songstress’ contribution to the judd apatow film this is 40. there’s more instrumentation on this one flamenco guitar-driven track than the whole of the idler wheel…. stream the song, which is reportedly a candidate for best original song at the 2013 oscars, at the link below.

as she made her way down to austin and houston for her tour dates, ms. fiona apple was caught for hash possession in sierra blanca, texas. name sound familiar? that’s because it was the same town that claimed willie nelson and snoop’s possession charges.
no word on those texas dates and whether or not they’re canceled.

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.

fiona apple’s new video for “every single night” is a bizarre one in a molluscan-obsessed kind of way. snails and average octopi take over paris and apple’s head as the perpetually flagging songstress sings on unaffected. catch it above.
