Over ten years ago, we first met Fiona Apple at Spaceland under the worst of circumstances.
Many people have passed on the lore of what happened between she and Clare Danes (and Ben Lee) that night but it was really nothing more than the usual happenings that go on between young men and women (on a sidenote, we were actually there to interview Mary Lou Lord and she can recount that evening's festivites much better than we can -- Lord and Apple used to be on the same label Work Group). In any case, what we learned that night was that Ms. Apple was and is a very emotional being, one who pours herself into everything, not always caring of the consequences both good and bad. And so over the years, we've watched her rant at awards shows, fall on her face tripping over cables, and throw tantrums on stage and yet we're still completely in awe of her. Insecure, neurotic personalities make bad friends but even worse enemies. Even more so, it makes for beautiful songs. She's been writing for a new album and there's been talk about her doing a covers record for awhile given all the standards she's been amazing us with lately. Can't wait for the heartache.
Fiona Apple performs a benefit concert at Largo on 3/9. As of this writing, tables are still available. Admission is $75 and worth every penny.

What the bloody hell happened b/w she, Claire Danes and Ben Lee? How can one mention that so surreptitiously and then not spill the beans at the end? That's not fair!
