Okay, okay, sorry about the runaway alliteration in that headline, people. But it would take a stronger man than I to resist the kind of tantalizing, tasty temptation found in a Franz Ferdinand-Fiona Apple affair. Ach! There I go again.
Y’know what? Let’s just get on with the news. You can get a free stream of Franz’s upcoming You Could Have It So Much Better at NME.com, while Apple’s long-awaited latest is available (legally this time) at myspace.com.
Give ‘em a listen and be the first on the PopWatch block to report back. Ready, set, go!

Fiona’s finished and “the way I want it” new album is much better than the leaked, unfinished version. I have a burned copy of the leaked versions of each song besides “Parting Gift” and, after listening to the streamed album on MySpace.com, I have found each track to go above and beyond the earlier recordings, accept “Red Red Red” and “Not About Love”. THought I do thoroughly enjoy the new version of “Red”, it’s very different and has lost something in translation. “Not About Love” should have never been touched, enough said.
But my fears have been quieted and I’m very pleased with these tracks.
