Ani DiFranco

It just occurred to me that i haven’t listened to a Tori Amos record since January, and then it wasn’t because i felt like listening to Tori but because i needed a specific song to comfort me. But, then a month went by without listening to her at all. I have months like that sometimes… usually alternating Tori and Ani. For some reason i can’t deal with both of their tremendous song catalogues all in a single span of four or five weeks. So, anyhow, i figure i should fit some Tori in now before Ani’s new double album takes over my life next month. Right now: Under the Pink.

Can i just talk about some of the stuff that makes more sense once you’re actually in a relationship? Good. Okay, first of all, Undressed: that cornball MTV show where lots of too-pretty 20-somethings posing as college freshmen have lots trouble that would be solved if they would just shut up and fuck? Or, alternately, if they had opened up their mouths before jumping into the fucking? Previously the show seemed lame and belaboured, but now i actually get a kick out of seeing how twisted a situation can be before i actually it stops resembling real life. And god knows that’s a pretty twisted place to be…

Other stuff i dig more now? Ani DiFranco’s Dilate as well as most of Out of Range, all of which has stopped just being good music and suddenly is intruding into my life and siding with the players therein. Jagged Little Pill fits neatly into that category as well. Also, erm… i like sappy movies more now, because it’s fun to hit pause and make commentary before the characters do the stupid things you know they’re gonna do anyway.


God, i need to get out more.

there are too few who open both eyes

we sit back in our easy chairs

and we try to sympathize

whether from the point of a needle or

the edge of our beds

we too, like too many others,

could be dead

our actions

will define us

before a single definition can be said

yeah, so what if god is testing us

what if that’s true

what are you going to do

what is the answer

to you
