'The Idler Wheel...' turns Fiona Apple into Taylor Swift's smarter, gloomier sis

By Sean Daly , Times Pop Music Critic Sean Daly Tampa Bay Times In Print: Tuesday, June 26, 2012 Fiona Apple McAfee Maggart whose full name is only slighter shorter than the title of her brutally good new album was 19 when she first scared the ever-loving heck out of us. She writhed, thrashed, a perilously thin piano-pounding precursor to lit femme fatale Lisbeth Salander. No dragon tattoo for Apple, just angry rhythms, wild eyes and lyrics that whiplashed from coy sexuality to sheer disdain for the exes in her life. You could also think of her as Taylor Swift's brainier, gloomier big sister. An anti-pop hero with serious love scars, Apple, now 34, has made four albums in 16 years. She doesn't need limelight to live. Her reclusiveness is legend; during her breaks, she'll do a live gig, a cameo, but mostly she vanishes. Seven years passed before she released her latest album, The Idler Wheel Is Wiser Than the Driver of the Screw and Whipping Cords Will Serve You More Than

First Things First: Taylor Swift asks, 'Why you gotta be so mean?'

In a recent interview, singer Taylor Swift talked about the harshness of some critics' comments, especially after she sang off key with Stevie Nicks. One critic called it the beginning of the end of her career. Swift said the comments definitely affected her. Her response? She wrote a song: "Why You Gotta Be So Mean?" "You, with your words like knives and swords and weapons that you use against me. You have knocked me off my feet again, got me feeling like I'm nothing ..." Somehow, there seems to be more mean behavior than even a decade ago. "I believe, as a society, we are seeing more meanness, and we have become more tolerant of it," said Dr. Gary J. Oliver, an emotional intelligence expert, who has noticed an escalation of inhospitable, hurtful and demeaning behavior, and not just in adults. "We are seeing this behavior in children as well." So, as Swift asks in her lyrics, why do people have to be so mean? "I think there are a nu

Taylor Swift ( CMT Offstage keeps a 24/7 watch on everything that's happening with country music artists behind the scenes and out of the spotlight.) This is giving me a little Tim McGraw and Nelly "Over and Over" dj vu. This being the fact that Taylor Swift and rapper B.o.B. were in Nashville Thursday (June 14) shooting a music video for their "Both of Us" single. And oddly enough, the photos from the set look more country than they do hip-hop: a field of wildflowers, old Adirondack chairs and a weathered barn. B.o.B. is certainly no stranger to a good collaboration, but usually his songs feature other like-minded artists like Hayley Williams (Paramore), Eminem, Bruno Mars, Rivers Cuomo (Weezer) and Lil Wayne. But sure enough, he tweeted a picture saying, "On the set of the #BothOfUs music video in Nashville with @taylorswift13. Video premieres end of June!"
