Re-read Jan '25 via graphic audio - some of the background music is cheesy AF, but amusingly so

The dedication, the pirates, and the puns 😆😍

Not wholly what I was expecting, based on the blurb. This was less of an Alanis bio and more of a dissection of Jagged Little Pill. Alanis' inspirations for each song are discussed, more surface level than with great depth. Subsequent albums and tracks are used to illustrate that while Alanis has matured, she is still an advocate and ally- which all goes against the argument some make that Alanis "sold-out" and drastically changed her musical style. Artists may grow & change, but lyrically, Alanis is still on fire.

Thanks to the publisher for making the eARC available through Edelweiss.

First thing - this cover, 😍. I also loved the way the magic of folklore was woven in with embracing change, coming to terms with loss, and how to move on.

Not All Men, The Fear - saying exactly what I've been unable to articulate to Some Men.

Poyums like Hauntit, Owerhink, and Solidarity brought new Scots Words to my day.

Thank you Len.
