Lizette, Taylor, Danity

Unrelated stuff:

(1) I like this song "This Is" by Lizette &: Copies Alanis's sensitive, piercingly pitched vengeance, tosses it into Nine Inch Nails metal machine thwak.

(2) Good Taylor Swift interview by Ken Tucker posted at Billboard. "And the thing is, we just didn't know any better. I was 16 years old and wrote all these songs about being in high school and sophomore relationships, not thinking that people would relate to it, hoping they would, but there really was no business model to make it work for the younger demographic."

(3) Danity Kane album Welcome To The Dollhouse enters at Number One! ("Damaged" is maybe the sixth-best track on the album. My favorites are the ones with floating gobs of vocal beauty: "Bad Girl" and "Pretty Boy" and "Is Anybody Listening..." I like that they're committed to using all the voices at once.)

I LOVE that Lizette& song, it's very retro somehow, in a sort of early-Garbage/Republica way and you're right, she does sound a lot like Alanis.

Well, on her MySpace she lists Nine Inch Nails and Tori Amos as her two influences, while Alanis ranks a mere fifth in "Sounds Like," right after Evanescence and before Lacuna Coil.
