But, don't bother to go see her in concert if you think your going to get that kind of experience. Her concert is noise, noise, noise. Her sound people should be fired for destroying her music. Buy the CD, skip the concert. Rating:  - Best CD since Jagged Little PillFirst off, let me say that I love Alanis Morissette. I think she is terrific, a true talent. Jagged Little Pill is one of my favorite CDs of ALL time. Having said that, all of the CDs she's released since then haven't been quite as good. That has now changed with the release of Flavors of Entanglement. This is easily one of the best CDs from Alanis in a long time. I like each and every one of them. An excellent choice. Rating:  - A little Above AverageThere are some very favorable reviews of this CD and I liked it mostly too but I still expect more from a Morrisette CD. The first few songs are forgettable - "Underneath", "StraightJacket" and "Versions of Violence". "Not as We" is about the harsh end of a romantic relationship and it very good and pure: "Day one day one start over again Step one step one I'm barely making sense for now I'm faking it I'm pseudo making it" ...

Rating: - Delicious FlavorsThis is probably my favorite album by Alanis and at four years since her last one, well worth the wait. Combining Alanis's rock sensibilities with techno courtesy of producer Guy Sigsworth who has previously worked with Madonna and Bjork, this is a masterful work of art. My favorite tracks include the Mid-Eastern/Indian flavored "Citizen Of The Planet" (sample lyric- "I am a citizen of the planet. My president is kwan yin. My frontier is on an airplane. My prisons: homes for rehabilitating.") which I totally relate to. John Lennon's "Imagine" shares this sentiment in that rather focusing on what country one pledges allegiance to (which is all about division), we instead align with all humanity and ... Read More |
Nick Bradbury just had a tumor removed from his head. Glad to hear he's doing well:
The fact that I'm able to type this blog entry less than a week after the operation has me hopeful that recovery will be quicker than I was led to believe, but it will still be a few weeks before I'm able to really tackle any serious work.
