10 Years On, Alanis Unplugs 'Little Pill'

LOS ANGELES (Billboard) - As she neared the 10th anniversary of her landmark album "Jagged Little Pill," Alanis Morissette (news) began pondering how to commemorate the occasion.

She ultimately decided to do it all again. Together with the album's producer/co-writer, Glen Ballard, she is in the middle of recording an acoustic version of the career-defining set.

The as-yet-untitled album will come out on June 13 -- exactly 10 years to the day after the original release. The collection, which will feature the songs in their original order, will include previously unreleased video footage from that era plus different artwork.

In the decade since its release, "Jagged Little Pill" has sold 30 million copies across the globe, according to her label, Warner Music Group's Maverick Records. The album is the best-selling debut by a female artist and the 14th best-selling album ever in the United States, according to the RIAA. It also yielded four Grammys, including album of the year.

The album featured a number of hits, many of which are still in recurrent rotation on adult top 40 stations, including "You Oughta Know," "Hand in My Pocket," "You Learn," "Head Over Feet" and "Ironic."

and so on and so forth, blah, blah, blah.....anyways

WOOOHOOOOO!!!! Yay! Yahoo! Yippeee!

Jagged Little Pill is probably the only album that I can say is my all-time favorite. Any other is making too large a committment/sacrifice. But I love this one THAT much. It was also the first CD I ever owned, so we have a special bond. This is so wierd, cause all last week I was playing it in my car, and thinking, dang, I need a new one, this one is scratched to hell. So now, I CAN get a new one! A new acoustic one AND the original. It's like TWINS!!!!

Is anyone else excited for me?

Steph, I am happy for you, this is exactly the kind of thing that would make you super happy. As for me, this isn't that big of a deal. But for each their own. Keep it real. Irish Midget.
