Can you guess where Alanis Morissette went last year? In an effort to build anticipation for her new CD, ``Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie,'' which arrives in stores Nov. 3, Morissette is playing a series of medium-size club shows highlighting the new material and a few reworked versions of her hits. (Her label is refusing to release the new music to the press, and it will soon be obvious why.) The former Canadian teen queen-turned-angst-ridden '90s diva and her five-piece backing band pulled into Metro on Sunday night flashing more rock-star attitude than club veterans got from Bob Dylan and Prince combined. But aside from the fact that 1995's ``Jagged Little Pill'' inexplicably became one of the best-selling solo albums of all time, Morissette's prima donna routine was entirely unwarranted. She moved onstage like a spastic monkey. It would have been a blessing if only she sang that well. Dressed as a glitter-speckled ragamuffin, with a knee-length black skirt worn over her bell-bottom jeans, Morissette warbled, cooed and hiccuped her way through new songs that were so laughably awful they could have been ``Saturday Night Live'' parodies. Gone was any trace of the ``alternative'' sound (not that it ever meant anything in her case besides a marketing designation).

In comparison, the recent spiritual anthems by Madonna (owner of Morissette's label, Maverick Records) sound not only deep but like the poetry of a Nobel laureate. Between bursts of this excrement, Morissette churned out a few old favorites, including ``You Ought to Know'' and ``Hand In My Pocket.'' But these, too, received electro-tabla grooves and faux mystical-mantra-goes-metal arrangements. Really now, where the heck were George Harrison and Ravi Shankar when we needed them? - -- ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 21 Oct 1998 16:24:55 PDT From: "Tabassum Siddiqui" Subject: Sloan infighting...

SLOAN SHOW CHANGES IN TORONTO!! Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit Hi all! Please note: The Toronto Sloan shows have changed venue and ones of them has changed dates! The shows will now all be at the Palais Royale (1601 Lakeshore Blvd. W. - phone is 532-6210). The November 8th show will now take place on NOVEMBER 5TH. Tickets for the November 8th show will be honoured at the November 5th show. A press release on this will be issued tomorrow by Universal Concerts. I believe that you will be able to get refunds if you cannot attend the rescheduled concert for November 5th (formerly the Nov. 8th show). Also the show that is now taking place on November 5th (used to be Nov. 8th) is not sold out - or it wasn't at noon today when I checked. There were still about 100 tickets available so run quickly to get your tickets.

Does that mean the Colorifics are no more? Yes, but I'm not sure that was very widely publicized. They've split in two, Lyndsay on her own and another band... I didn't write it down as much of my conversation on learning this was strictly off the record. I meant to mention this last time we talked f2f but, as usual, I forgot... sorry! I'm told it was creative differences.

I'm not sure sure, such angst-driven collaborations often seem to produce something more than agreeable ones. I'll hold Kids in the Hall up for that one. Its been well known for a while that Sloan, well, don't seem to get on well on a personal basis. But I love the music and they have shown good industry saavy on which way the musical winds are blowing. > P.S. I've never been a big fan, but I definitely *respect* the music > they make and how they give smaller bands a chance with their label. I must concur wholeheartedly. jale, Eric's Trip, Thrust Hermit, Idee du Nord have all profited from association with Sloan &/or Murderecords. I'm not sure whether or not that's just being a musician (as I know several musician run labels that are _very_, _very_, _very_ artist friendly) or just part of their overall good business sense. > it *rocks*. And I'm not even partial to that particular sound! (But I > can recognize a killer tune when I hear one.) ;-) I love Money City Maniacs. The sirens. Its the sirens! It begs to be turned up and if you're driving, you just have to floor it. (note: closed road conditions, stunt driver, do not listen to Sloan while driving!)
