Instant Cover: Uninvited
Rough scratch recording of this Alanis Morissette cover I just started working on, recorded 11/04/09. I hated Alanis Morissette throughout the 90s -- her misuse of the word "ironic" and her vocal gymnastics turned me off. However, two things recently changed my opinion of her. 1. Her cover of "My Humps" was instant internet win, and recalled her comedic talents I'd first seen on You Can't Do That On Television and 2. This particular song came up on Pandora, and I reluctantly fell in love and felt compelled to instantly cover it. This article http://social-creature.com/make-more-unsocial-web-applications really captures this about Pandora, the fact that it'll play a song by an artist you think you hate, but everything about that song (except perhaps certain vocal qualities) is something you love.
This recording was done very very quickly, roughly. There is the clicking sound of my ring on all the right-hand notes, and the lovely machine noise of my phone talking to the network, because I'm reading lyrics off my G1 here, but it's in all the right places.

Written by Alanis Morissette. Performed by Unwoman. The picture I'm using as a cover was snap-shot at the DNA lounge MEAT/Clockwork/Dark Art Gallery, in front of a lovely betentacled mirror (I forget who did the mirror) by the extremely talented Audrey Penven. http://www.audreypenven.net
