Alanis

Every now and then, I like to go back and check out a record that I didn't like when it was popular 10, 15, or 20 years ago. That way you can judge its merits without hype or marketing getting in the way. Starting now, I will share my findings with you to see if you agree. Contradictory opinions are welcome.

Recently a friend gave me a copy of Alanis Morrisette's first CD. I have listened to it start to finish a couple of times now. The thing that amazes me about this record is that it managed to sell millions despite that chick's annoying voice.

The only answer can be that the songs themselves are really quite good. They were mostly written and produced by a guy named Glen Ballard. He must be an F'n genius. To be able to overcome Morrisette's screeching and make a solid collection of tunes, is an honorable feat. Props to ya, bro!!! Overall, I give it a B+. Alanis gets a C-. She was gonna get a D but the one word she manages to sing well is "fuck."

End of the Tour!!

18 months of touring in support of full circle has come to an end. My best guess is that it was over 350 shows. Looking back, I'm proud to say that we brought our "A" game for every single one. Not to say that they all were perfect. But each was a unique experience. My sincere thanks to everyone who came out and enjoyed a night with us. Yâ�™all will always be loved. I hope you all have a wonderful holiday and let's do it all again next year!!!

Message from Stevie

Recently, the Associated Press, has stated that Drowning Poolâ�™s music (among a slew of other songs) has been used "to create fear, disorient ... and prolong capture shock."

I would like to set the record straight to say that upon our return from Baghdad (in 2006) and after visiting our injured soldiers at the Walter Reed Medical Hospital, I commented to Spin Magazine that I take it as an honor to think that perhaps our music could be used to quell another 9/11 attack as part of a longer comment. I sincerely regret if my statement was taken out of context as supporting any specific policy or agenda. My remarks were an emotional reaction to the band's personal experiences. The bandâ�™s intention has been, and will always be, to support our young men and women in uniform who put their lives on the line every day. Our performances for soldiers abroad led to the honor of being able to speak before Senate and Congressional leaders in support of extended health care rights for our returning veterans. We cherish this distinction and continue to maintain a close relationship with our military personnel and their families.

We would like to wish everyone a healthy and happy holiday season.
