Go get it. I've read that the song you mentioned, the current single, is written from the perspective of a old boyfriend in the music business, who may have been "dipping in the well" before Alanis was of legal age in Canada. He's telling her that she wouldn't have been anything without him, that he liked having her as an employee and dependent on him, and would even consider marrying her if she stayed in shape. But, their little affair would have to be kept secret from all their friends and family.

I was also a huge fan of her second album and never understood why it didn't do better. I suppose the argument there would be that it was too long, too "produced", too unfocused etc... but I still loved it. As for the single. it is quite clearly a true life story about statutory rape. If you read the lyrics, it is not at all obtuse. In fact, it is about a relationship that Alanis herself was in. Remember, she got into the record business in her early teens. Anyway, I think this new album is her masterpiece. It has the passion of her first album combined with some of the maturity of her second album. I just love it. The very first time I heard "hands in my pocket" was on the radio, at night, driving in my car. I had never heard of her before and had no idea who she was... and that song hit me like a ton of bricks. That incredible voice, and the simple, poignant lyrics (although poignant in kind of a silly way... but that's part of the charm of the song). Without warning, I just started to burst out in tears for some reason :) It blew me away. I loved the second album too, but none of the songs on it had that kind of impact on me. But with the third album, she's done it again with the song "So Unsexy". Amazing song. Without warning... on first listening... the waterworks just started :) They were happy waterworks though you know? I would say... go out and buy it and give it a chance. If you're looking for another Jagged Little Pill though... there was only one and there will never be another. Alanis, like all of us, grows and changes over time. That's a good thing! :) > I WAS A BIG FAN OF HER FIRST ALBUM. BUT AFTER INCESSANT PLAY OF THIS FIRST > SONG FROM HER NEW ALBUM.. THERE IS NO WAY I WILL BUY IT. WHAT THE HELL IS SHE > SINGING ABOUT?

I feel the same way, and couldn't have written it better myself. The second album way way underrated and this album is just great. 'So Unsexy' is one of the best songs on there. For those who would doubt her before they even give the album a try, DON'T. Under rug Swept is a great album. Alanis shows her genius and brutal honesty once again.

Larry LaPrise, the Detroit native who wrote the song "Hokey Pokey," died last week at 83. It was especially difficult for the family to keep him in the casket. They'd put his left leg in and ...well, you know the rest. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 11 Mar 2002 23:04:55 +0000 From: Brian Hancill Subject: MM: Re: Silver Bell tracks on Audiogalaxy I've managed to download seven Silver Bell tracks from Audiogalaxy so far. I already had the title track from a very old Napster download, and I'd recorded Top Of The World and Standing from UK radio plays (by Bob Harris on BBC Radio 2). Using just the words "from silver bell" as the search parameters, without adding Patty's name, has brought the best results. So that's 10 down, four to go. I'm still looking for find Perfect White Girls, Truth #2, Making Pies and Mother Of God. Of course all this may be academic if Jennifer does get the tracks on to her website. Then I just need a way to deal with .sdn format files on an Apple Mac.

Scott, Thanks for the info !! I went right to amazon and pre-ordered the cd. I must say 1000 Kisses is one beautiful piece of work. I already fell in love with Rain after hearing it on the ATO site. But, you have got to hear Be Careful, Nobody's Cryin, and Tomorrow Night....MAN !!!! It doesn't get any better than this. My hats off to Patty and Doug for such a perfectly produced cd. This cd is all acoustic guitar with bits of piano, cello, accordian, upright bass, and even a muted trumpet on Tomorrow Night.

Forget about it. Just one of the best ever done by Patty. This song is the one. I don't want any trouble from anyone over this. Nobody's cryin, the best cut on the CD. End of story.

It's definitely not as good as Patty's, but it is my favorite on the Fly album. I'll be excited to hear "Truth#2," I've heard only good things about it. ------------------------------ End of mad-mission-digest V6 #78 ********************************
