Fiona Apple at Largo: "My New Songs Have Been Done for a Year"

A few months ago, I went to go watch Jon Brion at the Largo Theater here in Los Angeles. Brion is a notoriously eccentric composer and producer — his credits include Kanye’s Late Registration, Aimee Mann’s I’m with Stupid, and the soundtrack to Magnolia. Which is all very impressive, I suppose, but the reason why I went to watch Brion at the Largo was because I had heard that every once in a while, Fiona Apple shows up to play a few songs. (Brion also produced Apple’s When the Pawn…) Sadly, the show’s guest was a totally okay woman in thick-rimmed glasses who sang a bit blandly about Tina Fey and wanting babies.
