Reviewing Something That Does Not Exist
Fiona Apple's "latest" album was leaked on the internet a while ago and it's good. You can get your copy from Bleeding Is Believing (click on the album art to download a .zip of the whole thing). I was surprized to see it in the NTY. They gave it a good review but it's this quote that was of particular interest:
