if an artist can't create an entire vision, are they really an artist? (cough cough Avocado) |

She’s not breaking new ground, but it’s remarkably consistent. I’ll be the only one to rank them this way, but as far as established white chicks go this year, 1 T Swift 2 Alanis 3 Fiona. |

Was it the video for “Thank you” where she was naked? I just remember David Spade on Hollywood Minute on SNL showing a still from the video and referring to her “monster box.”  Never heard it before or since.

Not that it matters but Feast on Scraps is an after thought B-Side and outtake collection. It's never felt like a proper album to me so I don't ever think about the cover art. |

Avocado´s cover is way better than pretty much every cover from Alanis. She always had the worst ones. |

Got my copy of the new record on vinyl yesterday. Super excited to give it a spin. Oddly, it's the first Alanis record I've ever owned on vinyl and also the first Alanis record I've ever NOT owned on CD. So far. |

Couple weeks in and I'd say: Pedestal Smiling Diagnosis (biggest gain since first listen so far) Her Nemesis Reckoning Losing the Plot Reasons I Drink Sandbox Love Missing the Miracle Ablaze I like Missing the Miracle and Ablaze. Each are fine songs but they don't totally work for me in the context of the record. It's already a short album but if she cut those two, this would be a perfect record. Can't wait to hear b-sides/outtakes. There's often one or two that are better than much of what ended up on the record. |
