Re: Alannis

[Matt Humphrey <stock@capital.net>]

I don't happen to think Kate & Alannis are very similar.  An 
interesting aside about AM, though, the first three or four times I 
heard "Isn't it Ironic" or whatever the actual title is, I thought she 
was singing "a death-throw hard-on two minutes too late" and then 
later on realized that it was "death row pardon".

Another tangent here, but someone recently commented on the fact that 
"Lily" was the first recorded instance of Kate singing directly to an 
individual, and how disturbing that might seem in light of almost 20 
years of her career.  I have just realized that The Red Shoes is the 
first album not to feature a likeness of Kate on the cover!  (Okay, 
Never Forever had that fantasy artwork, but the female figure is 
obviously a representation of Kate.  There are several different 
covers for the Kick Inside in several countries, but the "official" 
one from the Uk and every one I've personally seen has had a picture 
or depiction of Her Kateness).

What's THAT all about?
