Free Fiona Apple Here's what I don't get. You listen to the two leaked songs (Better Version of Me and Extraordinary Machine) and they are vey in tune with current trends, especially given the success Jon Brion has had scoring such films as Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Punchdrunk Love and I Heart Huckabees. Not to mention that both of her previous albums sold like gangbusters, even When the Pawn, the much ignored sophmore effort went platinum. I know not every artist/band that gets overlooked by their record label will turn around and win a fucking Grammy a couple years later, or in Fiona's case, winning the grammy, then getting the shaft, but sheesh, when are record execs going to realize that there is a market for good songwriting. The little kiddies with no taste, but fat wallets, will follow the trends, even if that means good music. The claim that it would cost too much to market and distribute seems pretty thin in this day and age where artists can reach an international audience with a piddly website and some good word of mouth. But it is also my belief that the majority of politicians and CEO's only know of the internets by reputation, and treat it as some sort of novelty that the "kids are into", and where people steal their stuff, without really understanding the potential.
