20. Isn't it ironic?
Don'cha think? :evilgrin:

Alanis sucks. No, really. She even sings about giving head. My kinda girl.

9. Oh, now THAT hurts. My mommy's dead.
But I guess your larger point is that I have now revealed myself to be a whimp, and can't expect sympathy from the likes of sangha (sigh...). I have been humbled. I'm now snipping off one of my testicles becuz, let's face it: I am but half a man.

4. Never heard it.
Liked her other ones, though. (In small doses - I have to be in the mood.)

10. I'll have you know that Roger Waters...
...sends mash-notes to Alanis.

Anyway, that's what Syd Barrett told me...

12. I'll check it out, on your word.
I was a fan of hers when I was like 12-13, until I discovered
Ani Difranco, and then moved on to Heavens To Betsy, Sleater-Kinney
and Team Dresch... :headbang:

Hey, did you ever listen to Bryan Adams' "Into The Fire", like you
said you would? You know, back when we first met and you were
writing me mean :cry: haikus?

17. Yeah I know. BUT. I'm a huge snob myself! Oh, you've no idea...
...and I won't bore you with details. But becuz I AM a snob, I feel I can bring up summink like Alanis. I find it odd that I enjoy her new record as much as I do---apart from two or three songs from her previous work, I never really thought she was up to much, and figured that her on-and-on confessional/accusatory lyrics were more to the liking of those younger and more female than I. Indeed, I saw her once in concert, but only because Garbage was the opening band. But I like her new album and think it's her best one. Maybe it's cuz she's getting older, or I'm getting older. Whatever. It has considerable merit and I'm music-snob enough to go to the mat on this opinion.

18. my husband used to have a thing for Alanis
and he likes her music and is well over 30. I didn't like her at first, but her cover of that Police song was pretty good. Garbage is better, IMO, but Alanis does have a certain presence.
