Alanis? |
Launch reports: Alanis Morissette may be engaged
to Canadian actor Ryan Reynolds, but that doesn't mean she didn't experiment
with women during her teens and twenties. In a recent interview with Out
magazine, Morissette revealed that although she considers herself heterosexual,
she has been involved with women in the past, saying "I had my years of
experimentation, which were very lovely and I'll highly recommend to anyone.

III Goes Straight To Hell |
conqueroo reports: Hank III's forthcoming
album Straight To Hell (BRUC Records), complete with Parental Advisory
sticker, is a 13-song thrill-ride into a life of sin. The album was produced
by Hank himself, and made on a $400 Korg D-1600 digital recording apparatus
� a piece of equipment he feels every musician ought to own as it empowered
him to record on his terms and schedule, and on a budget of next to nothing.
Speaking to why Straight to Hell is a two-CD
set, Hank says, "We should have had ten albums out by now. I have so much
music. Tape sticks around longer than I will, and I've got to put out as
much music as I can."
Asked to describe the two discs, Hank explains,
"one's done right, the other's done wrong." Which is to say that the first
disc features "super pickers, the ones I can't afford to take on the road."
And the second disc? "It's just us � me and my road band � living it up,
doing everything you're not supposed to do and having fun." The second
disc is actually one long track that contains Hank's first-ever Hank Williams
cover ("I Could Never Be Ashamed Of You") along with a Wayne "The Train"
Hancock tune and some surprises. The disc is stripped down and spontaneous
� much like Hank III's legendary live shows � in spots even a little psychedelic.
"Put it this way," he says, "it's nothing at all like you see comin' out
of Music Row." [see full story for more]- Click
