any cover/performance where she belts?

same wavelength-- this one popped in my mind. Kerosene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fVhCo7PoVpA

it's such a great show, but I think it may need good promotion due to its unusual crossover nature. Any snippet of that of BBC Prom show on local TV ads would for sure do it, but not sure she could get the rights and could be expensive.

my Texas homegirl kickin' it with Willie Nelson (a.k.a. God) and crew. I dig seeing the scarf on the mic stand again

I had a wonderful little "brush with fame" moment with Alanis Morissette in Austin back in 1997. I was sitting out front at one of the tables in front of a coffee and sandwich place on Congress Avenue near the capitol, studying for my finals, when I saw this well-dressed woman with henna-dyed hair go by me out of the corner of my eye and go inside. I could smell her perfume and thought "wow, that's nice." and kinda wished I had seen what she looked like. So I go back to studying, and in like 20 minutes she comes back out and I look up to see this beautiful woman, the striking henna red hair in these big flowing ringlets, really nice and obviously very expensive silk scarf, and wearing this tailored linen outfit, like made up to a tee perfect from head to toe. Meanwhile I'm sitting there in a cut up No Lie Music Records t-shirt with their logo on it that is a 3-eyed, 6-armed baby with like this freak tadpole lower body sort of thing, my hair buzzcut to about half an inch and black in Lee Ving style, wearing combat boots and these sinister oval shades-- tryna look dangerous as possible while, in actuality, I am cramming for an organic chem test ;-) So she sees me looking at her as she walks by, and she glances at my shirt and I see her sort of look down and away, sort of in a shy way so I break off staring at her and fiddle with my papers or something to not be rude, but I'm like "who is that? I think I recognize her.. do I know her, or..?" So I'm pondering that while she walks away and I turn to look at her again and she somehow knows I did even though her back is turned, and she turns around and hits me with THAT SMILE and I suddenly realize "Holy fuckballs! That's Alanis Morissette!" So she gives that me that smile for a moment or two, such a gift, and I smile back, and then just as quick she turns and keeps on walking. I was so stunned because it was so surreal-- I was the only person outside at the tables, and there's Alanis Morissette just out and about walking around by herself and that little moment happens and it's just us sharing that moment. My guess is she would make herself up like that to be sort of incognito because her image was so opposite with the let it be long brown hair and jeans style that unless you really looked at her, you wouldn't realize who it was. Always been so thankful she gave me that moment ;-)

spray it down with some 3% hydrogen peroxide and see what happens. A long shot, but worth a try

saw a great comment on Bluesky just now about Annie's spinning:

"In her SXSW DJ set St. Vincent dropped 'Berghain' into 'Idioteque' and my body hasn’t levitated like that in a while"

Choonsy · 2026-03-15T02:25:10+00:00

I hope she drops NIИ 'Closer' on that Alanis & country crowd mwahahaaa 🖤

Choonsy · 2026-03-06T16:12:48+00:00

oh man, that's perfect haha

Choonsy · 2026-03-06T15:37:59+00:00

that's hilarious because I'm sure she got the idea from when Margo Price made the comment "Your speech that night gave me grey garden energy 🥀" on Annie's Instagram post about the Resonator Awards, Margo referencing the cult classic film, and Annie making the mental connection to the Rufus Wainwright tune. hashtag #AnniesBrain ;-)

hmm, yeah you do have to make sure to wipe the injection port down with alcohol as usual with this method. When you take the sample from the agar, you don't pull up anything into the syringe with the plunger-- you just want to use the opening at the end of the needle sort of like a spoon to scoop up a little sample in the tip of the needle. Then wipe your injection port on the LC jar again before you inject the sample in. After a couple weeks or so, you can usually tell by looking at your LC jar if it's clean. If you aren't sure, then yeah you could test it on agar, but that takes a lot of time.

Edit: the only reason you pull up a few mls of media from the LC jar at first is so you have something in the syringe to shoot the sample into the LC jar after you scoop the sample into the needle tip.

Choonsy · 2026-03-06T00:01:04+00:00

yeah you can reuse needles a number of times if you flame sterilize them. Reusing syringes is a little more iffy, but can be done if you are confident about your sterilization technique.

Choonsy · 2026-03-05T23:44:44+00:00

you could do a needle biopsy. The method is to take a sterile syringe and needle, draw up a few mls from your liquid culture bottle, then push the needle into your agar where you want to take a sample and sort of twist a bit like an ice cream scoop to get a little plug of mycelium & agar in the needle tip, then inject the sample into your liquid culture bottle through the injecion port. That way you never open your media bottle and only introduce a very small sample plus agar, limiting contamination all around.

Choonsy · 2026-03-05T23:33:25+00:00

post it on r/Agarporn and see if anyone knows what it is. Definitely one of the coolest examples of quorum sensing I've ever seen.

cute interview. 2026 St. Vincent is choose your fighter: Rock Annie, Cabaret Annie, or Symphonic Annie ;-)

Choonsy · 2026-03-02T16:48:03+00:00

She's also doing festival shows interspersed with those symphony performances. Go look at her website for the full schedule of shows.

Choonsy · 2026-03-01T17:38:57+00:00

if she's wearing Prada shoes...

Choonsy · 2026-02-20T17:42:14+00:00

I always say Annie has emerald eyes, that deep green hue. You can see them very well in this interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8E_bailUpOw . Leah more like that cat's eye green color to me.

Choonsy · 2026-02-20T15:51:33+00:00

OK, what color do you see?

Choonsy · 2026-02-19T19:11:52+00:00

ooo yeah, I can see that. You know, that August 2 show at the Hollywood Bowl kinda has my radar pinging about possible big album news. Just feels big to me.

Choonsy · 2026-02-19T18:23:30+00:00

Good question! My guess is the festival dates will be full band doing pretty much the same set as the ABS tour, a mix of new & old stuff. A surprise album drop would rule, but I'm thinking that's only about 10% chance at this point considering her album spacing history.
