Alanis Morissette, a mere 31 years old, is going on the equivalent of a reunion tour:
The six-week outing will promote the June 13 re-release of her breakthrough 1995 album, Jagged Little Pill, which is being reissued with a newly recorded acoustic version.
The 27-date tour is slated to kick off on June 7 in Toronto and wrap up on July 17 in Costa Mesa, California. The new version of Jagged Little Pill will be sold only at Starbucks for the first six weeks.
You go, riot grrl. That’s pitifully mercantile, isn’t it? I mean, I’m sure Ms. Morissette thinks she hasn’t sung “would she go down on you in a theatre” enough times in the past decade. I always feel a little sorry for musicians who have to trot out the old favourites night after night. Nothing screams “I’m irrelevant” more than a ten-year anniversary tour.
What’s even more sad is that this is kind of the second time this has happened to Alanis. Will she come back in her late thirties as a jazz singer?

The Wikipedia entry on Alanis has this very odd contradictory statement in it… felt the need to point it out:
“Despite Morissette’s naivete, Ballard knew he was dealing with a woman wise beyond her years.”
Huh?
I don’t think 10 year anniversary tours are a bad idea in all cases. Supergrass went on a UK tour to commemorate ten years, tied in with a best of album and dvd. They’re one of the only bands to survive Britpop with any credibility and stil make fantastic music *Blur, Oasis, take note* If Alanis is just rehashing old songs thats a shame, but I guess she’s see the cash cow.
Alanis is stacked, esp. in a Hooter’s shirt.
