Free Fiona!

Fiona Apple's newest album, Extraordinary Machine, is being held hostage by Sony. They don't think it will sell enough copies to justify the costs of marketing the album, despite the fact her two prvious albums each went platinum. It was completed in early 2003 and STILL has not been released thanks to Sony's new CEO. So, the site www.freefiona.com is working to change that, and so far, the <a href="http://www.petitiononline.com/Fiona9/petition.html">online petition</a> has 19344 signatures! Furthermore, on Jan 24, 2005, www.freefiona.com is asking that people "send something with an apple theme - a fake apple, a real apple, a photo OF an apple, a piece of paper with an apple sticker, a sketch of an apple, even an apple pie - be creative! - to Andy Lack at Sony with a note attached. You can write a real letter or just scribble "Free Fiona!" on the envelope - whatever you want." The address for sending the apple-themed mail is:

Andrew Lack
550 Madison Avenue
32nd Floor
New York, NY 10022

On the same day, the folks at www.freefiona.com will be sending notes from college campuses inside a plastic apple to the folks at Sony, and on Jan 28, 2005 they are planning on gathering enough people to protest outside of Sony's headquarters. With 19,000+ signatures, I think they will probably have a reasonable amount. So, especially NYC TFPers, if you can make it to protest that would be even more awesome! They would like all apple-themed packages to arrive in the same week, so it's very important that if you're going to send something, you do so on or around Jan 24!

Anyway, you guys are smart and I think most people here have pretty decent taste in music and, in the very least, whether or not they like Fiona personally can recognize that she's a talented artist. Please help out here - even if it's only signing the petition. If not because you like Fiona, then because you like me and would like to help me to hear this album!

I have an mp3 of "Extraordinary Machine", and it's a quality song.

Signed. Whatthehell.
