And on the complete opposite end of the musical spectrum...

What the hell ever happened to Alanis Morissette?




(Yeah.  I've been going through my iTunes library.  When I was a freshman in college, a) it was the year 2000, b) I had access to an ethernet internet connection for the first time in my life, and c) Napster was still legal.  As a result, my iTunes collection holds vast and unknown depths of late-nineties/early-aughts music.  VH1 did a "top 100 songs of the nineties" countdown a couple of years back and I'm still not sure how to feel about the fact that I was able to recreate over half of the list in iTunes with my existing library, despite having forgotten that I had downloaded most of the songs in the first place.)

(Dear Lord, I just Googled Alanis Morissette and she did recently release a song...on the Prince of Persia soundtrack.)

(If you were here earlier today, you may have noticed that this blog looked very different for a few hours this morning.  I redid everything.  And then I put it all back.  I would imagine this will not be the first - or the last - time that I do this.)

  4. ^^^ We HAVE NOT. It is the greatest mystery of our time!

    I don't think it was Alanis, though. I'm such a kick right now...I listened to Jagged Little Pill about seventeen million times this weekend. Such a good album...

    Jess, I miss you, too!!! I look forward to not only the e-mail, but also the day when *I* get *my* act together and write you one!! It's been WAY too long. :-/

    Sam, HOLY CRAP, I cannot even believe I never did that. ACK! I just tried to send them to you in a zip file, but it was too big, even for yousendit and sites like that. I may have to mail you a CD...or maybe I'll see you in a few months and I can give it to you then! You're really not missing much (I don't have many and they're pretty lame - especially in comparison to yours), but I'll work on getting them to you. :)

    (And I totally YouTubed the PoP Alanis song and was like...yeeeaah. I remember that song now. It's not a bad song by any stretch, but I do now strongly associate it with the utter lameness of that movie, and that kinda ruined it for me...)

  5. Sam, please disregard second-to-last paragraph above and check your e-mail. I'm either a technological genius or...it didn't work. :)
