Her appearance at some strange Hyde Park concert that also featured Gary Glitter with The Who meant that one person tried to get our motley breakfast stoned hungover losers there in time to see her. We failed, of course, but had we not tried to see Morissette, we'd probably have missed Dylan too, which was the point of the day.

I've been scared to find out what she sounds like (I'm sure I've heard her, but I really genuinely don't remember any particular song or even sound), because of the way Shiina Ringo's early music is said to be similar in some ways, but now I find I kind of like "Ironic."
(Why does everything I listen to all sound like it has doumbeks in it? Is it just me?)

So maybe 90s revival critical reassessment time is at hand.

I think this is okay. A couple other songs were just kind of boring.
― _Rudipherous_, Saturday, 1 May 2010 11:28 (fourteen years ago) link
I like "You Oughta Know." I'm relieved to find out what she sounds like, not embarrassed.

Dear Alanis: it rained on my wedding day. What literary device best describes this situation?
Dear Alanis: My boyfriend has left me for someone who I suspect will suck him off in a movie theater. What is the proper way to communicate my displeasure with this state of affairs?

my wife and i honeymooned in oct on the central coast of ca and stayed for a couple nights at the esalen institute in big sur. alanis was there and teaching a workshop called 'hurtling toward wholeness'. we didn't attend any of her workshops but did dine with her at the communal dinners. she's lovely and thoughtful and wise.
― Yelploaf, Tuesday, 12 January 2016 20:55 (eight years ago) link
I thought you were kidding until I googled "esalen institute alanis." Wow. Perhaps one day she'll create an ingenious ad campaign for Coke.

I hear her more now than ever, pretty much daily--she seems to have replaced the Guess Who as every milquetoast Canadian radio station's default Cancon (on whatever the proper name is right now for Top-40/AOR/Boomer stations). "Ironic," "Hand in Pocket," and "Thank You," mostly--at least I've been spared "You Oughta Know."
What a terrible trade.
― clemenza, Thursday, 8 April 2021 22:44 (three years ago) link
You Oughta Know that you made me imagine 1970-era Burton Cummings singing that song.
― Halfway there but for you, Friday, 9 April 2021 00:15 (three years ago) link
Burton has a light touch next to Alanis: "You Oughta Know" would need Rare Earth or Blood, Sweat & Tears or the Ides of March.
― clemenza, Friday, 9 April 2021 00:38 (three years ago) link
OK, it's not necessary to bring out the big guns.
― Halfway there but for you, Friday, 9 April 2021 00:41 (three years ago) link
Actually, I was never bothered by her vocal affectations - they seemed a lot more playful and eccentric than the oversouling of Clayton-Thomas or Joplin.
― Halfway there but for you, Friday, 9 April 2021 01:51 (three years ago) link
I’ve been in a room with her twice (once professional, once incidental). She seemed cool both times.
― Yawnsomely Literal Cover Band (morrisp), Friday, 9 April 2021 01:57 (three years ago) link
One can't say that about Burton Cummings.

Didn't realize she turned 50 yesterday. I hope she had a rhapsodic, blithe, enraptured birthday.
― clemenza, Sunday, 2 June 2024 20:01 (two weeks ago) link
I think of her music as something from my childhood (which it is), so it's crazy to me to realize that she's only ten years older than me.
― Lily Dale, Sunday, 2 June 2024 21:02 (two weeks ago) link
Huh, what a coincidence. I just bought Jagged Little Pill on used CD today. Don’t think I’d ever listened to the whole album. Her voice is a versatile instrument and she’s definitely not shy of pushing it to its limits or beyond. She even pulls off some convincing James Hetfieldesque growls on You Otta Know (of course I knew that song already but hadn’t listened to it in a minute).
