Apparently she's writing a memoir. On the one hand, I totally want to read it. On the other hand, there's only so much of philosophical, pie in the sky monologues I can take.


ETA: And also, a Broadway adaption of JLP. WAT.

Sign me up. I love Alanis.

OMG, I MISS MTV CRIBS. That article links to a gallery of it and now my afternoon is totally fucking shot.

I think my favorite part about Cribs was how there was ALWAYS at least one friend, usually not famous, just chillin' in the house like it was the most natural thing in the world. YOU KNEW MTV WAS COMING. This is not an accident.

Dave, Ryan Reynolds (Side note: you know how sometimes you hate celebrities but you don't know why? It took me FOREVER to figure out why I hated RR and it's totally because of Alanis lol), how the heck she took a wrapper named Souleye seriously as a potential mate. The possibilities are endless.

you know when you really like something and they trot out the worst representative in the world for that thing? that's how i felt when alanis starting running her mouth about attachment parenting.

Listen, frkls.  I still wish I had just taken that good advice, okay?

I don't know anything about it. Why is she so bad?

I loved JLP. It was the first "grown up" album I ever bought, and I still play it once in a while. JLP spoke to me in a powerful way, even though I didn't quite understand all the songs just yet. I think listening to that album really set the course for preferences in music that I still have today. That whole album is just so powerful and meaningful for me.

That being said, I have consistently been disappointed with her music ever since. I have given up on buying any more of her albums, after not getting into the 3 or 4 after JLP. Her later music lost its edge, and just never did anything for me.

I'll definitely read the book though!

You are my favorite person of the day!

I will be all over this.

My high school BFFs and I would literally belt out You Oughta Know every.single.day at one of our houses, obviously dedicated to whatever jerkoff boys we had just broken up with.  Some of my favorite times.  Lol.

eta - now I just went and added You Oughta Know to my pandora station.  Which refreshed my memory of Fiona Apple, so I will add her as well.
