    Fiona Apple "The Idler Wheel Is Wiser Than the Driver of the Screw and Whipping Cords Will Serve You More Than Ropes Will Ever Do" - 2012 LP

    If you're my age you probably remember when baseball cards were a big deal....Your father prob got back into buying trading cards as well....He could live vicariously through the resurgence and forever begrudge his mother for throwing away his original collection.....You more than likely owned a flannel shirt, cut holes in your jeans, and prob dyed your hair after you saw the "Longview" video for the first time....In a time when there was a serious drought in female vocalists, out comes Fiona Apple.....Tidal came totally out of left field.....It didn't fit into any current trends.....It couldn't be categorized as "rock" or "pop" or "grunge".....It was an original....An album that only comes around once a decade.....You prob sat in your first car next to public parks with your first love and hashed out arguments, made out, and smoked your first cigs...For a lot of us Fiona Apple was a major part of our teenage years and with her only 4th album she proves that quality has staying power.....And as for your enormous quantity of baseball cards now in your parent's attic?....Guess twat?....They're not worth shit and they never will be again:
