Because of thing number 8, you better fix thing number 81, it might be fatal or something.
Umm..Yeah,... old blog post and all that but I enjoyed reading it so I thought it warranted a comment. Yay!
Now I shall go away.
Thank you for your time.

Elaine,

Thankkkkk youuuuuuuuuu very much for this extremely well-written overview of Jagged Little Pill. My name is Laura, I'm from Argentina, I'm 28, and I feel every bit the same way about what you say. I didn't discover Alanis until I was 19 years old, in 2002, when an English teacher of mine made me listen to the song "Perfect". From that moment on, I was hooked, and since then, I have kept track of all her work. Just minutes ago, I bumped into your blogspot because I'm checking if I have every one of her unreleased and B-side songs. Five minutes ago, while surfing in YouTube, I came across a song I didn't know, which is titled "Break", and was released, if I'm not mistaken, as a B-side song in 2008 in the single album of the song "In praise of the vulnerable man". I'm making all these comments because I would like to know if you happened to have a complete list of all of her unreleased and B-side songs (in case you are a fan like me) or if you know any website where I can get that information.
Again, thank you for praising her talent. I hate when people are small-minded and label somebody in a negative and fixed way for ever and ever, in the same way as, I think, Alanis has had to deal with that, with some of the backlash she's got after this album and some of its lyrics.
Thanks!!!

LOL - That's not Lisa's bus, it's mine. I was at the show that night. http://www.flickr.com/photos/grogg/sets/72157622567265221/. Not too sure how I found this shot of my bus but such is the internet, full of wonder :)

Great gig. Love Lisa#s stuff!

Thanks for pointing it out, Anonymous! And thanks for visiting!

I spoke to the venue who said they had no price for them yet, but the Belfast gig tickets were on sale from Ticketmaster for £13.50 if you want to go on that.

If I get an update I'll let you know!
