Fiona Apple's new album The Idler Wheel… is a delight to listen to and has been gaining praise from just about everywhere. Last night she no-doubt gained some new fans with a visit to Late Night with Jimmy Fallon who with she had a nice little chat in which she touches the subject of her on-stage meltdown back in 2004. After that though she performs "Anything We Want" and as an added bonus, a web exclusive performance of Paul McCartney & The Wings' "Let Me Roll With It" with the help of The Roots. Well, it was his 70th Birthday yesterday after all. The interview can be viewed at the top with the performances available after the jump courtesy of The Audio Perv.

[Recap] The 54th Annual Grammy Awards: Pleasantly Boring

Credit: Allen J. Schaben / Los Angeles TimesLast night we witnessed a very safe ceremony for the 54th Annual Grammy Awards. The fact that I'm not as outraged about the performances and the results as I normally am has had me stewing on this all night and all morning. I'm always the one in my circle that cheers on The Recording Academy to make better decisions so they can be both relevant while not getting too caught up in The Long Tail looking for the year's very best, so why can't I feel better about last night's ceremony? I want to say they're finally coming around, but why did the whole ordeal make me feel so "meh" afterwards?
