Daily Dose: Fiona Apple, “I Want You To Love Me”

I have a deep and abiding love for Fiona Apple.

Fiona’s been with me since before I knew who I was and has most definitely had a heavy hand in who I am. Learning to play her songs on piano as a teen. Screaming her lyrics while driving North on the I-5 in my twenties. And, most recently, listening silently to entire albums while lying on the floor of the home I somehow purchased to root myself in San Francisco–back on bare hardwood, her notes ricocheting off lathe-and-plaster walls.

I, this person that I am, love you, Fiona Apple.

Daily Dose: Andrew Bird, “Underlands” + “Lone Didion”

Although no album will top “My Finest Work Yet” (fittingly) for me, the latest release from Andrew Bird is a welcome accompaniment to modern times. I like it more every time I listen to it. I like it so much I couldn’t pick just one song. Here are my top two tracks from Inside Problems, which also happen to be tracks one and two from the album.
