The one-sentence summary of this story—"Slovak pop singer rips off Alanis Morissette "—doesn't really capture the full picture here. Oh sure, it's funny because hey, you can already buy ripoff versions of Western movies and CDs in Eastern European countries, so why not go all the way and actually make a wholesale copy of a singer? But if ripping off Alanis was a crime, we'd have to time-travel back to the '90s with a hell of a big paddywagon. Rather, the point here is the extent of the ripoff. This isn't so much Turkish Star Wars [...]
I tell you people keep sending in better and better tracks because it remains true! This post, I've got lots of goodies to share with you that I will be playing out at my upcoming shows. All true Dancefloor Mayhem material, so get out there and cause some mayhem in the clubs with these tracks! DJ Dunno took an Alanis Morissette song and knocked it out of the park! OMG! So fucking bass heavy with a nice distorted kick. I love it! Serious club heat with this track. [...]

"I miss your smell and your style And your pure abiding way Miss your approach to life And your body in my bed Miss your take on anything And the music you would play Miss cracking up and wrestling Our debriefs at end of day " - Alanis Morissette, "Torch"

Last week's post of In This Moment covering Iron Maiden sparked such an uproar that it inspired longtime MetalSucks Maniac Hegy to send in a link of another female artist covering a (sort of classic) metal track, Rage Against the Machine's "Guerilla Radio" as performed by everyone's favorite Canadian yodeler Alanis Morissette. Thing is, said [...]

Come abbiamo visto dalle diverse classifiche di fine anno uscite negli ultimi giorni, il 2008 è stato un buon anno, almeno dal punto di vista della quantità di uscite discografiche interessanti e di ottima fattura. Ma, lasciando da parte il lato qualitativo, è stato anche un anno pieno di flop discografici, alcuni più evidenti e altri meno. Alcuni giustificabili da una cattiva promozione e altri apparentemente ingiustificabili e inaspettati. La crisi discografica non ha certo aiutato, ma ha inciso solo in minima parte su alcuni dei più grandi flop dell'anno, [...]
After drumming successfully for Cable and The Lucky Nine, Richie Mills has stepped out from behind the kit to front his own band. Bloody hell, if Dave Grohl can do it with Foo Fighters, then so can MiLLS . What was your highlight of 2008? Hearing Zane Lowe on Radio One telling folk waiting for a Soundgarden reunion that our band could tick a few boxes. What's the worst thing that happened [...]
Scarlett Johansson è proprio una donna tosta : quando vuole una cosa la insegue e la prende nonostante tutto e tutti, gliene va dato atto. A 24 anni ha già conquistato Hollywood (fate un giro su CineBlog e vedrete), stregato milioni di fan e rubato l'uomo ad Alanis Morissette , sposandoselo (per questo vi consiglio un salto su GossipBlog ). Come sapete il desiderio degli ultimi mesi era quello di diventare anche cantante: ha inciso un album di cover di Tom Waits e sperava di sfondare nel rock…ma aveva fatto [...]
Este fue un año de visitar más lugares de dispersión nocturna, de alcohol hasta los huesos, de más risas y más... mmm... trabajo, creo. Todo el año estuve acompañado por mi reproductor y este top 20 de canciones que desde enero hasta hoy sigo escuchando. Pd: Ya viene también el listado de Odiosin, a ver qué pex :P 1.- London Bridges - This is Ivy League 2.- Hearts on fire - Cut Copy 3.- In my arms - Kylie Minogue 4.- Even [...]

Observations and Admissions: **Lisa Loeb perfected the sexy-indie-rock-nerd look. I was trying to find a picture of her for the post, this is what found (careful) . **I cannot believe that Queen's won a Golden Globe award, two Screen Actors Guild Awards, two Image Awards, a Grammy Award, six additional Grammy nominations, an Emmy Award nomination and an Academy Award nomination. You go Queen. **I owned Edie Brickell's cassette Shooting Rubberbands at the Stars ; it's not that bad. **I loved " You Oughta Know ", probably [...]

Alanis Morissette October 28, 2008 The Midland Theater by AMC Better Than: Morissette's "funny" cover of "My Humps" By JORDAN EDWARDS Photos by NICOLE REINERTSON Click Here for Slide Show In the mid-1990s, before Britney and Christina slithered onto TRL , a female rock singer could get away with just being angry or introspective. And they could actually rock, not pop. Sarah McLachlan, Natalie Merchant, and a pre-MILF Sheryl Crow flooded Top 40 radio [...]
Alanis Morissette quietly released the video for her new single " Not As We Are ," a ballad from her amazing yet underrated album " Flavors of Entanglement ." Directed by James Whitaker, the video shows simple and clean stills from Alanis performing the song interspersed with bleak images of a pensive Alanis drinking coffee, reading a book, laying on the beach, taking a bath and looking out of the window. This song might bore some of you to no end while others might be touched by Morisette's emotive delivery. I'm leaning towards the latter depending on what mood I'm [...]
In last week's Top 5 Most Played Songs list, Alanis Morissette's live performance of "Uninvited" took the top spot. Some of you have requested that I post the rest of the bootleg, to which I am only happy to oblige. Ask and you shall receive! The sound quality of this performance is excellent. [...]

Como bien saben aquí en la Cuchara nos encantan las listas y ésta sin duda causará mucha polémica, ya que la gente de Gigwise ha realizado una lista con los 50 artistas más insoportables del mundo de la música e incluido a gente como Adam Lavine , vocalista de Maroon 5, Amy Winehouse, Paul McCartney y Bono . Y es que ya sea por su mal vestir, problemas de drogas, ínfulas de diva o música francamente horrible, algunos artistas definitivamente se dan a notar. [...]

Some power houses are hitting the stage so lets forget about the weekend and enjoy together!

I know I've mentioned it before just how dated I feel a lot of the music from the early 90's alternative movement sounds today, and that Nirvana (to these ears at least) sounds especially dated. I don't disagree that Nirvana was hugely instrumental in turning much of popular music on its head but if it wasn't them, it would have been someone else. Nirvana's success is a great example of right place, right time. If you listen to London Calling , Rubber Soul , Remain In Light , or even Appetite [...]
