What Does It Mean When You've Gone 16 Years Without Ever Really Listening to Fiona Apple?
That you're an idiot, that the music press is totally sexist, and that marketing tactics have come a long, long way.

Going On Today...
Sleigh Bells, Wet Witch, Black Bananas
On the cover of SPIN, playing SNL, headlining a sold-out Terminal 5 show; Sleigh Bells' rocket ship to success was very fast and really loud. (Really loud. Like, not sure our stereo is ok.) Live, Derek Miller's hyper-physical riffs and Alexis Krauss' coquette charisma are sure to hurt the Midtown venue's inhabitants. In a fun way. Intriguing added value to this ticket comes from Jennifer Herrema's new band Black Bananas. Her old band, Royal Trux, isn't the first comparison Sleigh Bells bring to mind, but it does makes a weird bit of sense. SOLD OUT
Terminal 5, 610 W 56th St, between Eleventh and Twelfth Aves, Midtown East
These Seven Sicknesses
Be honest, you've always wanted to see all seven of Sophocles' surviving plays in one sitting. In this five-hour marathon adaptation by playwright Sean Graney, Ajax, Antigone, Oedipus the King, Electra, Trachiniae, Philoctetes and Oedipus at Colonus are performed by a cast of 38. Don't worry, there will be intermissions, and a complimentary vegan, gluten-free dinner. $40
Flea Theater, 41 White St, between Church St and Broadway, Tribeca
Walter Martin and Paloma Munoz: Night Falls
You've definitely seen work by this collaborative duo — he hails from Virginia, she from Madrid; they make and photograph strange and surreal snow globe scenes. This latest series of photographs and small sculptures fetter threatening bands of Children of the Corn-ish kids and vengeful animals, all taking out their aggression on adults in snowy daytime scenes and moody late-night confrontations.
PPOW Gallery, 535 West 22nd Street, 3rd Floor, between Tenth and Eleventh Avenues, Chelsea
