Warner Bros.
Alanis
Morissette
seems to reveal
much of her past relationships with men and
herself in her latest album, Under Rug Swept.
The entire album was written and produced
by the seven-time Grammy winner. The top
ics range from self-realization to near self-
destruction to self-appreciation.
The song "21 Things That I Want in a Lover"
jump-starts the album with heavy guitars and
Morissette's vocals, which range from those on
"You Oughta Know" and 'Thank U." Morissette
unabashedly asks for a man with a "big intel
lectual capacity" and one who is "uninhibited
in bed more than three times a week."
"Narcissus" is a cut-throat tune to
"momma's boys" everywhere and "Hands
Clean" is a wondrous song of past and, many
times, inappropriate relationships. She effort-

What does
Conor Oberst,
core member of
Bright Eyes, sing about once he has
ripped through the issues of his inner
most thoughts?
Desaparecidos, Spanish for "disappeared,"
is now Oberst's new project in which he has
moved from singing about personal issues
to social issues. The different concepts in his
lyrics bring a completely different sound for
Oberst as well. Bright Eyes conveys a darker,
sadder tone while Desaparecidos conveys
catchy rock tunes that hold that certain edge
— an edge that almost contradicts the songs
lyrically because the tunes are so pop/rock
and the lyrics lean more toward issues in

you keep your firm body").
In "Flinch," listeners relate to Morissette!
feelings of defeat when trying to forget a loss
love, and the song "So Unsexy" highlightsth
insecurities felt by almost all females at on;
time or another.
In "Precious Illusions," Morissette singsa;
a woman who realizes her illusions of
man completing her life are not real, but
afraid to let go of them, and in "Tha 1
Particular Time," listeners follow the struj
gles of a couple trying to find themselves
and their relationship.
Morissette had 25 recorded songs
choose from and only 11 made the cut

But there are things that remain thesamt j,e indifferer
for Oberst with his new project. First, Obers: g roL
still has a knack for writing lyrics that ait ledtomisunc
brutally honest, and second, he keeps his “One grot
signature voice. His voice is distind, as lure,” said Sa

allows the listener to experience Oberst's “The repre
passion. With upbeat music and appropriatepdeas,’said S

somehow balanced.
Oberst's voice portrays his sincerity
singing of America's downfalls such as coi-
porate America, unending suburbanization
and the all too common domestic problems
caused by money. Throughout the album
Oberst's passion is apparent.

Jodie Foster’s thoughts
differ as actor, director
BOSTON (AP) — The actress
inside Jodie Foster might disagree
with her inner director.
"I just have different taste as a
director than as an actor," she told
the Boston Sunday Globe.
"I'm much more of a popcorn-
movie actress," said the star of
such films as Taxi Driver, The Accused,
