    damnit, I can’t watch it at work. Love Fiona.. she kind of looks like Rashida Jones in that photo.

    I find it hilarious that Lana Del Ray thinks she’s any better than Lady Gaga. Seriously, they could be the same person.

  2. We Miss You Enclave_24 says:

    I love her. That is all.

  3. Marty says:

    Ah Fiona, the only woman to get me through my teenage romance.

    That whole album is amazing btw.

    • bns says:

      Yes the album is sooo good. My favorite song is Valentine.

    • Anguishedcorn says:

      Yes, Fiona Apple is personally responsible for getting me through the worst year of my life. I love her, love the song… off to look up the rest of the album.

      • Nibbi says:

        add me to that list. Fiona is an amazing artist, and “Tidal” has gotten me through more than one painful breakup

  4. Little Darling says:

    yay! She’s so amazing and it’s fantastic to see her again. Love the melodies on the song, and the layering!

    Welcome back mama.

  5. springingforward says:

    Kris Humphries. Way to rise above the filth.

    Wow. Got to love George HW Bush for that. He is really growing on me, post-presidential.

    Lana Del Ray is desperately trying to grasp at some fading relevance…

    Beyonce is quite the professional entertainer live, but her music sucks.

    Do people really check their phone during sex? They must not be doing something right. (Or they need to guide their man 🙂

  6. audrey says:

    I love Fiona so much

    and i’ve never checked my phone during sex. i’ve mentally wandered to making to do lists and such but never sunk as low as phone checking. talk about a buzz kill for the husband.

  7. Jaded says:

    Hey all you Beyonces and Gagas and Lanas and Katie Perrys and Riris – THIS is musical talent, stripped bare and a zillion times better than your over-produced and auto-tuned pap.

    • Lainey says:

      Calm down. Shes not ALL that.

    • Dethammer says:

      +1! -Applauds-

    • Happy21 says:

      I can’t believe I’m actually going to defend Beyonce but you can say all you want about her (I do) but you cannot argue that she is not talented. Same goes for Gaga. They are both talented and not necessarily autotuned. Katy Perry and RiRi are NOT talented and you can call them that all day long 🙂

    • Bette says:

      I totally agree. I’d like to see Katy Perry or Taylor Swift doing anything NEAR this brilliant … simultaneously stripped down and intricate. Not relying on an image or elaborate costumes or a gimmick. Just pure talent and originality. I love Fiona.

  8. DeltaJuliet says:

    My husband gets all pissy no matter WHEN I check my phone. I can’t imagine if I did it during sex. On the flip side, if he did that, I’d be pretty ticked off as well.

  9. Samigirl says:

    If you’re able to check your phone during sex, someone isn’t doing something right.

    • GiGi says:

      I thought the same thing! If you’re checking your phone during sex – you’re doing it wrong, lol!

    • loveisthecoal says:

      I had the same thought. Unless these folks’ definition of “having sex” is vastly different from mine…how?

    • Kitten Mittens says:

      Oh geez
      I completely remember when and where I checked my phone… and at the risk of TMI.. When he asked what are you doing? I responded…. “I thought you were done? You’re not done?” Oh it still gives me a good laugh! That might be mean, but it was one of those college moments..

      • Applapoom says:

        Omg that Kittens that is so funny, haha the poor guy’s ego must have taken a nose dive!!

  10. Kitten Mittens says:

    Those clothes are a visual interpretation of what the clothes would have looked like if I was still in first grade and on acid.

  11. Side-Eye says:

    The people claiming that Lana track was made to keep her relevant are aware that that song was supposedly made years ago, right?

  12. UsedToBeLulu says:

    That littlest video bomber is too cute!

  13. mia girl says:

    I will forever worship at the talented feet of Fiona… the original Apple 😉

  14. Nerd Alert says:

    Florida is so messed up. Free Marissa!

    • lucy2 says:

      Seriously. I was not aware of her case, but based on that link, it’s INSANE. Good luck to her.

  15. IWantToLiveInNew York says:

    Don’t blame Kris for not wanting to film another scene with Kimmy. Maybe talk in private.

    Did anyone watch the episode where the divorce went through. I found it weird that she acted like she just won the lottery. Never been married, but it struck me as odd behavior and her family were like it to.

    • Suckmyfarts says:

      To be fair, I’m sure plenty of people are relieved to be divorced. It’s costly….especially when you made a mistake getting married in the first place.

    • JenD says:

      I thought their reactions were weird, too, especially Kris’. The way she squealed and carried on was over the top.

  16. stinky says:

    LOVE her (but a little a that goes a long way) (couldnt make it thru)

  17. Bird says:

    LOVE Fiona. She is a genius. The album is great, although this is probably my least favorite song. My 2 year old loves the beat, though!

  18. heidi says:

    Too awful to get through

  19. Dethammer says:

    I love Fiona. I got ‘Tidal’ when I was 13 and it inspired me to keep up with my piano lessons and try my hand at composing. She’s truly a fine wine- just gets better with age! 🙂

  20. eb says:

    She and Angelina Jolie feel like they are cut from the same cloth.

    If they had ever happened in their wilder days of youth they would’ve blown up Hollywood.

    • Brittney says:

      So funny you bring her up… both have been idols of mine since the late 90s, and they remain my absolute favorite women in their respective fields. Their rebellious youths and creative outlets for them definitely inspired me as an adolescent, but they’re still relevant today for other reasons. I’ve even got a huge tattoo down my side, an interpretation of “Paper Bag.”

      It’s weird to be turning 26 and still be a huge fan girl, but then days like today happen, when I find rare new content and it makes my whole week.

  21. bns says:

    Brilliant.

  22. Brittney says:

    I was ecstatic to see this… so long after the release, too! It’s the best birthday present I could’ve asked for!

    What an intense video. Reminds me a lot of her When the Pawn… days. That face, those eyes, those lips and that magic coming out of them!

    By the way, I still think it’s awesome that you covered her performance in St Pete last year after I sent that tip. I saw her again a few days later and assumed we’d be waiting another several years for any new content.

  23. Michele says:

    Well I’m off to buy it because as crazy as she is and acts, she’s amazing.

  24. Alarmjaguar says:

    Love this song! I bought it and can’t stop listening.

  25. Joanne says:

    So odd that she got her ex to direct her video. She wrote all those angry songs about him. I’m pretty sure that her song ‘Ugly Girl’ was about Maya Rudolph. I guess she made peace with him. Good for her!

  26. Becky1 says:

    Wow. What an oddly transfixing video. I love it! The song isn’t my favorite but Fiona and P.T. Anderson are great-very talented people.

  27. onegirlup says:

    I simply ADORE Fiona! She’s one of my ‘girl crushes’.. I will enjoy it.;)

    Giddy Iddy Up!
