Apple album that's on P2P
03/19/2005 03:03 AMCory 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.

Thanks, Fred!)

Fiona Apple Teaching Sony A Lesson About
The Long Tail
Fiona Apple Teaching Sony A Lesson About
The Long Tail
03/17/2005 03:26 AMFiona 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.
