Not for Alanis Morissette's most recent release (just a few months ago). As for printing, Target usually has a sticker on the cellophane wrapper and then sometimes they'll change the tracklisting. I've had a Target exclusive even exclude the tracks on the back tracklisting and instead had a paper insert.\ But the Target BTD lists WY and Lolita, so I'm sure it'll be the same as any retail version of Paradise, but with the bonuses listed on the back.

It could be Lolita and WY! Good point! I have that Target edition, actually. May not be relevant, but with Alanis Morissette's last CD, Target kept their exclusive version under wraps until shortly before it was released and had 3 exclusive b-sides. Hopefully it'll be a new song! But it's likely to either be A) the bonus tracks from BTD or B) Burning Desire and a Ride remix.

Love the "stacked vocals", especially in Smarty, reminds me of 90s Alanis Morissette in a way.

Not sure. Considering her previous problems with her singles charting and the fact that this EP isn't radio-friendly for the most part, the second single will probably not fare any better than Ride or National Anthem. I think dropping the "hip-hop" beats that were in BTD has hurt the release. Without them, Paradise feels like one long, melancholy EP.

"Said that her boyfriend in the city made her first album when she was young and his best friend Jack was Regina Spektor's boyfriend" Ahh, a mention on Sirens! I liked this interview a lot. Lana talking metaphysics was cute

Hmm...I thought I remember her saying 7 years at some point. But anyway, I'm sure she drinks here and there, perhaps she hasn't binge-drank in 10 years!

Well hopefully Lana's career won't end up being sell-out pop (0304) or lullabies!

Her singles may not be doing well worldwide (...or in most countries), but her album has performed well and is still in the top 30 best-selling albums this week. She's not going to have the sales of Adele or other mainstream artists because she's not liked globally (especially in the US), she just had her major label debut, and her production, songwriting, even her videos just don't appeal to an huge audience, like say 21 or a Taylor Swift CD would.

The whole Sirens album is just fascinating to me. I wonder how many people actually have a physical copy and I just want to know everything about it haha. -_-

I believe that the first label to sign her was Interscope Germany, hence the exclusive SS single. And although it does suck that she doesn't do a state-wide US tour, it's kind of expected. If she has more fans and better press in Europe, that equates to more money for the tour and yada yada yada.

Which one is River Road?

In my white Mink Pink, cigarettes from the store We're making robberies from Tiajuana to the shore, Dum Dum 'Juana to the shore, Dum Dum I belong to a bygone era, Like the Bugsy Malone of the deep Sahara, 'Cause I'm on the scene Yeah, i am on the scene. I am a bad jazz singer, giving you the finger No matter what, you linger 'Cause you like me even when I'm mean, I'm the queen

I think the production on Haynie's Diet Mountain Dew is perfect for the song. (I still love the original version though)

Somalia: #2 for 3 weeks!! Hahaha I love it

Ooh Baby look at all your high brow friends

Hoping she'll ditch her current setlist soon. She needs to incorporate Lolita, and upbeat version of Radio, Ride, and maybe another new one

Million Dollar Man is horrible live. In fact, many of her live performances are very cringe-worthy. I don't say this because I think she's a bad singer, but because I think she's been choosing the wrong songs. Her iTunes set was much improved, in terms of vocals, but I still think they could cut MDM, pick up the pace of Radio and Without You, it would be much better. In all honesty, she should work on her vocals for her faster paced songs. If she could perform Off To The Races in a different fashion than the Concert Prive performance (although I give her a pass for that because it was one of her first televised performances and the material was newer then), I think it could definitely be a crowd-pleaser and add a little life to her show.

Interesting! What is the highest quality of "Goodbye Kiss" that exists around here?

funny! I thought exactly the same thing!

Santa Baby would be best, hands down. Maybe she'd call it Santa Daddy?

Well, obviously they're not demos, since some have the same vocal takes as the studio versions. As for the versions pre-Haynie probably Carmen. Otherwise I think his version of DMD is flawless

Hm, I find it odd that so many don't like hip hop and rap in general. Her beats are what got me into her CD, I love her rap in her song with A$AP Rocky, and I think her gold tooth and dropping it like its hot are something endearing.

Whatever she has, I wish she'd share it with me because she looks like she's on cloud nine in most of her candids. I'd smoke a j wit Lana anytime

HAHA! This is exactly what I was wondering. Just be happy with the nice, new (to most of us), and not to mention GRACIOUS file sharing that goes on in our fandom, because this doesn't happen to every single artist.
