I'VE GOT ONE HAND IN MY POCKET AND THE OTHER ONE'S DRINKING A SOY LATTE: "Jagged Little Pill" may have sounded edgy when it came out 10 years ago (has it really been that long?), but Alanis is planning an acoustic remake which will be sold initially solely at Starbucks to commemorate the album's anniversary. Yes, you'll be able to sip your cup of Chantico(tm) while listening to Alanis detail how she once fellated someone in a theatre. That said, "Jagged Little Pill" is an album that holds up incredibly well--not just for the four singles ("You Oughta Know," "Hand In My Pocket," "You Learn," and "Ironic"), all of which, save "Ironic," retain their power--but also for less-known cuts like "Wake Up," "All I Really Want," and "Not the Doctor."
