Alanis Morissette - Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie sync listen

[Iguana]

I know he's blood but you can still turn him away - you don't owe him anything.

Join me on Thursday for a sync listen of Alanis' experimental and raw sophomore album, featuring the single 'Thank U' and --- well, lots of other (amazing) songs.

I'll tag some hopefully interested posters later in the week but SAVE THE DATE.

I'm at the front row

I get to see you
See you-hoo
Close up

I don't think I ever got into this album despite liking her quite a lot. I feel like she leaned into some of her more annoying habits, but it's been a long time so maybe I'll have grown into it. Let's see!

This album CHANGED MY LIFE.

Same here. I've really been obsessed with it for 23 years!

Me 3

 

[Iguana]

I sink three pointers and you wax poetically

Two days!

Two days!

Actually it's one.

One... One... Onnnnnneeeeee.....

 

[Iguana]

Today isn't Tuesday?

OMG you're right

 

[Iguana]

Did you just call her amazing? Surely we both can't be amazing...

One day to go!

HOW LONG WILL THIS TAKE BABA?
AND HOW LONG HAVE WE BEEN SLEEPING?

 

[Jark]

I'll join for this! Not an "Alanis fan" per se but the JLP sync was one of my favourites we've done.

[Iguana]

You and I we're like four year olds
We want to know why and how come about everything
We want to reveal ourselves at will and speak our minds

8.30pm tonight

@Jark you're in for a RIDE!

 

[RJN]

I'll be at work but this is an album I've always been interested in, so I'll probably listen later. I love the title

 

[Iguana]

Would I be whining if I said I needed a hug?
Would you feel slighted if I said your love's not enough?
How can I complain? And how can I complain
When I'm the one who reaches for it?

 

[Peekaboo]

What a total BANSHEE of an album

Some songs on it are so RAW they can make me cry.

 

[Iguana]

Just the opening acapella lines give me ALL the feels. They're like an invitation to your deepest recesses

 

[Tisch]

You, and I, we're like 4 year olds. We need to know why and how come about everything?

FIFTEEN MINUTES

 

[Tisch]

Can confirm I'm already a COUPLE WINES IN also

I forgot about this but I've been listening to fellow TURN OF THE CENTURY GUITAR LADY Michelle Branch so I'm in just the right mood!

It was her random comeback album from a few years back.

OPENING LINE CHILLS

 

[Iguana]

Front Row is such a mission statement. The driving beat, the amazing lyrics, it FUCKS

 

[Tisch]

I'm in the front row

With popcorn

 

[jivafox]

That double chorus.

 

[Tisch]

I've always loved

Why can't you shut your stuff off...
[Chorus]
... For a while while I'm speaking

 

[Iguana]

I adore how one verse ends halfway through a sentence, then the chorus, then she picks up the verse again halfway through the sentence! I can't think of any other song that does that!
