The New York Times | Fiona Apple Faces Outward
In Ms. Apple’s new songs she is no longer a self-righteous victim. “A lot of my earlier songs are blaming other people and never thinking that I ever did anything wrong, because I was always trying to be completely loyal and honest and pure,” she said. “It’s so nice to come to a place where you can see how you absolutely enabled all these things to happen. It makes you stop being angry at people. It makes you start being more empathetic.”
Ms. Apple has been reading about neural pathways in the brain. “What fires together wires together. If you keep on having these negative thoughts or being angry all the time, then that area of your brain is going to get stronger,” she said.
So she’s trying to “feel everything” from a different angle. “Even when now there have been times that I’ve just felt so, so bad,” she said, “I can take myself out of it for a moment and go: ‘You watch, you’ve felt this way before, you’re going to feel great again. And then you’re going to feel terrible again, and then you’re going to feel great again.’ And when you’re feeling this way, at least know that there’s value in it — just as much value in your suffering as in your pleasure.”

In Treatment (2008-2011)
GOTTA LET IT BYRNE
by Tess Lynch
The HBO series In Treatment, the second season of which ended last spring*, is the most successful—by which I mean it’s realistic to a fault and meticulously controlled, and that it occurs in real-time (or nearly so) and always in the same room (or…
Tess Lynch’s faux-return to BWDR. Yes, it’s a couple of years old, but a Tess Lynch essay is always worth celebrating. Also, TV MONTH is now officially halfway over, and if you haven’t been reading the past two weeks of essays, you’ve been missing out on some brilliant looks at Breaking Bad, Twin Peaks, Louie, Freaks & Geeks, The Singing Detective, My So-Called Life, and more. And next week we’ll be taking on The Wire, Mad Men, Modern Family, Friday Night Lights, The West Wing and Downton Abbey!
If you’re not reading YOUR LOSS.
