Oh, Manchester, So Much To Answer For

For those who care about such things, I've got a new #1 single and album of '04-so-far over at submeat '04. And you know (no, she's not #1, but she makes a splashy debut on my singles list), I know that Alanis Morissette's recent work has gotten mediocre reviews, and for the most part, I'd agree, but "Eight Easy Steps" is a single with an absolute knockout emotional punch - especially if you've been there, and if you haven't, you might be made of plastic.
