I just had occasion to remember one of the most mortifying, Ianucci-esque moments of my life as an entertainment journalist. I was interviewing Mike Leigh, who I idolize, about his film ALL OR NOTHING. It did not go well, as I detailed in this piece... backstage.com/magazine/artic… It was one of those interviews where the publicist sits in on it, which is almost never a great set-up.

So because I was curious I went ahead and tallied up Fiona Apple songs in a triple meter. It's a definite thing with her! Main takeaway: Of the 56 songs she's released on her 5 albums, 36 have (or are underpinned by) some kind of triple meter (3/4, 6/8, or 12/8). Image What might be thought of as her signature rhythm, which is most prevalent, is a kind of galloping 12/8. This is maybe the best illustration but there are tons of them ("Shameika" is another, in a more intense mode)
