And the title for Alanis’s new album is…da da da da! Flavors of Entanglement.

::squeals:: I’m so excited I could burst.

No word yet on a release date.

The source is this site. I wish I could tell you what is the purpose of that site, but after a few minutes of browsing I still don’t have a clue.

After pretty much nooothing in 2006, save one performance of Wunderkind on Leno, Alanis had been pretty much off the radar until My Humps emerged on Youtube in April. I’m not going to say how happy I am that it looks like she’s starting to reemerge becausethat might jinx it. I am, however, going to say how I’m positively ELATED that she did a show at Hotel Cafe on the 24th of April. Just a small set at the cd release party for The Nightwatchman. She did Sister Blister, a couple other covers, and…brace yourself, folks. A brand spankin’ new song, called “Not as We.” And thanks to some sweet soul who flew in from Costa Rica to see the show, it popped up on Youtube yesterday.

I’m practically floating around the room right now I’m so excited, seriously. It’s a great song. Some of the lyrics I’m still trying to decipher, but the chorus is:

Day one, day one, start over again.
Step one, step one, I’m barely making sense.
For now I’m faking it, till I’m pseudo-making it.
From scratch, begin again.
But this time I as I, and not as we.

She looks radiant and confident and vulnerable and she wavers on a couple notes, which I find raw and endearing considering this is the first time she’s sang the song publicly. And especially considering what we can probably assume is the inspiration for it given the lyrics and the fairly recent tabloids.
She says “Guy [piano player] and I have been sequesterd in London and in LA writing a bevy of songs, and this is our little coming out party. Coming out of what, we don’t know. “
(Please mean coming out with a new album, please mean coming out with a new album.)
I think I just peed a little.

Major pet food recall!
I had to call mum at two in the morning to make sure she wasn’t giving my baby kidney failure. Luckily Gladys is not so spoiled in that she does eat dry food. But I was sure mom had decided to give her a special treat and the little darling was already dead in a closet somewhere. Not to worry. She’s still alive and kicking.
Make sure and be concious for the furry members of your family, though.
