Fans beg Sony to sell them lost Fiona
Apple album that's on P2P
03/19/2005 03:03 AM
Cory Doctorow: A Fiona Apple album that Sony decided not to release has become a hit online in underground file-sharing circles, traded by fans who are begging Sony to release the disc so that they can buy it instead of downloading it.
"Extraordinary Machine" is an album that Apple finished over two years ago, but which was quickly shelved by the sad corporate drones over at Sony because they didn't "hear a single" and because it doesn't sound exactly like Norah Jones and because they're, well, corporate drones. They dictate cultural tastes based on relatively narrow and often deeply ignorant criteria related to marketing and money and fear of the new and the different. This is what they do...

And fans have been whipping the tracks into high-quality MP3s and splaying them all over the Net, and Rolling Stone and MTV and other media have picked up on the odd story, noting how fans are calling into the station like mad and most everyone loves the songs and protest Web sites like freefiona.com (alongside dedicated fan sites like fionaapple.org) have popped up to try and get some action and yet Sony refuses to actually release the album and the corporate drones remain mum and everyone's wondering just what the hell's going on.

The Long Tail


Fiona Apple Teaching Sony A Lesson About
The Long Tail
03/17/2005 03:26 AM
Fiona Apple was a musical sensation half a decade ago, but has dropped out of the spotlight since then. Apparently, that was supposed to have changed two years ago when she delivered a new album to Sony -- who immediately shelved it, claiming they "didn't hear a single," which probably means the computers over at Hit Song Science didn't appreciate the songs. However, in the last few weeks, a DJ got his hands on the album and has been playing the tracks, which fans seem to really like quite a bit. It's a lesson in the long tail for Sony. Rather than focusing on just "the hits," they should at least be willing to put out other albums that have niche supporters. Of course, considering Sony's recen t statements, it's really no surprise that they really don't understand how to handle this new market. Of course, it's probably only a matter of time before they try to shut down those who are offering up this music that they refuse to release.
