    Lets go old school; don’t you think it is a shame that ’Alanis’ and ’Now is the Time’ are not in stores anymore and everybody keeps talking about ’Jagged Little Pill’? (not that that isn’t a great album!)

    • What´s the problem in going back and releasing these albuns? Maybe we find something cool there too. And playing bass, it seems that there´s only bass cover for you oughta know because FLEA played it. I dopt wanna be like Flea. I just wanna play. And I love Chris Chaney. It seems he has a better relationship the bass. Sometimes it seems that Flea is killing the bass. he is good. I know, but not my style :–D

      • Cool DĂ©bora, do you like the (Red Hot Chili) Peppers, they like my favorite band besides Alanis! I think Blood Sugar Sex Magic is their best album…who am I kidding…I like them all. Last Christmas I got stadium Arcadium from my sister. WAY COOL!!! Whow you must have magical powers or something; I was really fed up with the the way things are in the world, it is really hard to except that for me. I have a lots of passions, but you calmed my beast with unconditional love for music!!! Once you get me talking about my fav, you hook me to channel my anger into something productive! Thanks my friend!!! I purchased some patches last year in Antwerp Belgium and sowed this the old fassion way on the back of my summer jacket.
        Well, here they are…

        I think you will like this link too Débora. Have a nice time in Brazil, ;-D Thieu.

    • I never had the pleasure of witnessing a live performance, that is very high positioned on my concert wishlist!!!

    • I like music. Love Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin. And also Metallica, Alanis, Bush, Aerosmith, Silverchair, Pink, Amy Whinehouse. Well, I need to agree with Alanis. Art is not a competition. You cannot say green is better than red. When the lyric brings you something to your soul, it´s good. :-)

      • Hi DĂ©bora, cool that you like Metallica too; I saw them in the Amsterdam Arena; home of a soccer-club in Holland. Pinks MISSUNDERSTOOD I experienced in Ahoy Rotterdam like Alanisses tour ’Feast on Scraps’ it was really cool with the camera there. Did you know that she shot her different live concerts of the tour ’Feast on Scraps’ everywhere she played and it got on each local market. She even in dancing in a clothing store in Rotterdam, Holland. Here in Holland we have music in our clothing stores; to us it is normal, so it didn’t occur to me that they don’t have this in every place in the world. It was the first concert of her I saw besides her performance on Pink Pop. It was really cool, but I think it doesn’t count as a concert; it is a Festival. Wow that is a beautiful thought…I should remember that: green isn’t better than red. Thanks DĂ©bora, Thieu.

    • Hi Thieu! :-) I have the ”Feast on Scraps DVD”:-D I tell you something about concerts. I went to Alanis´s concert, Junkie Tour 1999 in SĂŁo Paulo-Brazil. I was 16 at that time. Then, she came back other times to Brazil but never for a big concert. Only to promote new albuns. So, I´ve been waiting for her concerts. In 2009 She went back to Brazil for 11 concerts. How Brazil is such a huuuuge country, she would start in the North in the Amazon and finish it in the South. But 2 weeks before I had to come to Ireland with my now Husband, to solve some problems. So, 10 years waiting for her and then this SH*T happened. So…Life is Ironic and I really do think :-)

      • Yeah DĂ©bora, I experienced myself that LIVE=IRONY!!! I even mailed this to Alanis, she never replied though, now I am sad :’( But what am I complaining about that she never replies to my mails; at least I can see her concerts! You haven’t been to a concert of her in 10 f#@!$%&*ing years? Now I am sad for you :’( Does she ever visit Ireland for a concert? The Amazon sounds like a magical place, yes there is still a lot to visit in the World. I don’t have a lot of money, but I am adventurous and I have a lot of imagination; so I will probably visit this place, after some searching on the internet, in my mind next summer. Damned I have a lot to do this year; I promised myself I would visit ’The Big Apple’ in The States too to lie down in central park, being cool just smile. I am almost certain that I will forget all the promises I made to myself this year; I am so ’High’ on live these days. I know what my dream-job would look like. I love Music, I used to play the guitar in a band, but it is not like riding a bike, so now I can’t play that well anymore. I like to be a band-coach; I like to discover bands or individual members and bring them together and coach them into whatever they wanna. Are you in a band or do you wanna play in one? Thieu.

    • Well, Alanis is weird. She is a parodoxical person. She says she like her fans but she makes no contact with us. She doesn´t like internet, she barely is around the world for concerts, releases albuns every 3 or 4 years but insists she likes the fans. How is that possible? She also says she likes people because even a contact with them makes she learn something, at the same time she feels embarassed when somebody recognises her. It´ps not me who´s saying that. She said in so many interviews. Sometimes I feel she´s loosing her credits with me. It won´t make any difference for her, but for me…I will stop believing in her. I really dont know. Well, now, more than 10 years. She came to Dublin for a concert, a day after my birthday, one year before I come to Ireland. So, the end of the story is: When I was in Brazil she was in Ireland, when I came to Ireland she went to Brazil. I also wrote this story to her, but she doesn´t care. Other thing. Have I told you about Mario, her husband, website? I put him in my list on facebook. Then I was writing things like: ”have a nice week”. I was deleted. Then I wrote a message swearing. A person called Betsy answered to me saying she thought I was spam due to the amount of messages and she deleted me. I had the prove I needed to feel how we fa are treated….:-) Like shit? Like nothing?
      I am not in a band. I am far way of this. I got my bass last September. I am learning by myself at home. So, not that much. My background in music is violin which I play not that good after years without practing it. And I am horrible playing by year. I only play things from Songsterr.com which most of time is wrong. I don´t have money to pay somebody. Well, I found a brazilian guy in my city who plays bass. I went there once and the amount of shit he said about classical music made me sick and I never more came back. He shouldn´t NEVER EVER be against or compare different music schools liek classical with Punk-Rock. Music is not a judgemental thing. Anyway. :-) Hope your promises come true:-D ;-)

      • Yeah I feel the things you write; I know Alanis is married, I don’t have a crush on her anymore, but I still like I want to be awknowledged by her. I don’t understand her embarrassment for people, because she looks like a wonderful, beautiful, sweet loving person. I have never met her, so I don’t now her from scratch to Adam. She could be a…underneath. I have seen her soul though; she is not an easy person, but in the end she means well. Talk about your bad luck…you just missed her every time. Didn’t you visit the lepracon for good luck…sorry that was a mean thing to write, but I do like to visit the Paddy Murphy Irish pub with club with 3 leaves for luck. I don’t have any personal contact with (rock)stars and I think they want it that way. In their busy lives they cannot afford to answer all their mails. It would be unfair to reply to one fan and leave the other one hanging high and dry. I also believe they have a very good reason to treat us like shit, to activate the youth and make them angry with them. Young people, specially in the states, are spending more times indoors behind their computer nowadays. You have to activate them to experience their own soul otherwise their future is doomed and the world would be filled with careless people that will only think of money and themselves. To be honest I won’t sleep well at night if that is our future. Grey, Dull and no Energy. You are right Music is Music and that is just his taste in music. You know what I think of people that think like that YOUR LOSS!!!

    • Haha I got married with a leprechaun (the original Irish Man) but no luck :-) They don´t need to write individualy. They will lost their lives doing this. But more general or say something indirectly that can make you think: ”That was me for sure”. Well, today is monday, have no much time to spend in the computer:-) Back later have a nice week

      • You to have a nice week DĂ©bora, if you have the time you should check VIDEO’S ALANIS; I have uploaded a video of Linkin Park – in the End. This is the only way I can make it general and indirectly at the time. I try to ad some of my own poetry, I think this is pretty indirectly, what do you think? The nice thing it is based on my own experience this Monday morning. I try to find the right music from UTUBE that enforces my feelings I had this morning when it happened, because I think music is such a powerful tool to vibrate our feelings, as a matter of fact, I believe that we are vibrations; music that wanna be on the same wavelength with others!!! When you will find what you are searching for then it doesn’t even matter of the wavelength are perfectly in sink with each other; then you will love, cherish and grow together with your significant other at the same time to a higher level. Even the arguments you have with each other are a teaching moment. This is what I would wish for everybody that I like and are interested in me!!! Thanks that you wished me a good start of the week yesterday; you must have magical powers…maybe leprechauns aren’t only just luck bringers, they might bring happiness too and I personally believe they are MAGICAL!!! (I am not so realistic Alanis, I have a Huge…fantasy, but I don’t know how to build a Tipi or have recommandations!) So these are the Mondays I don’t hate, Garfield.
