She's great if you're the sort of person who likes women, and you are a woman.

Heh.

It's probably decent music but I'm not a fan of the genre. Hint: iTMS lets your preview songs.

She's an incredibly talented song writer however, I think her voice is annoying. She wrote "32 flavors" that was performed years back by Alana Davis. Alana's version is much better on the ears

Ani's version

Alana's version

yipe!

I liked Ani many years ago.  In my opinion, Living In Clip is one of the best albums and one of the best tours I have ever heard or seen.  After that release though, she really went down hill.  I was actually at a show once where she wouldn't stop talking about how she wished she could just go back to her trailer and she told the whole audience to smurf off.  I stopped liking her that night.

told you she was nuts, but I still do like living in clip.

I like Ani and her music is certainly something you don't hear on clearchannel.  I became really interested in her after Living in Clip and I have a good portion of her recordings.  Much of her early work can be seen as militant-lesbian-esque, or as I like to call it "bitter chick songs."

I definately think that she has matured as an artist over the last few years and several albums.  She's a Buffalo, NY native so I think I've been exposed to her more than the average listener (as I lived in Buffalo for the pastnine years.)  I also ate at a restaurant next to her and browsed a book shelf at the local bookstore next to her.  That said, she's a really short women.

Ani, by the way, is married to a member of her band.  I think he plays guitar.

And whomever said the re-done version of "32 Flavors" is better, I personally disagree. 

If anyone is seriously interested in hearing some of her work, try Living in Clip or the very well rounded Little Plastic Castles which doesn't seem to be available on the iTMS as of yet.

I first heard of her when I hung out with guitar playing, coffee shop-type, hippie lesbians. They liked to play her mellow stuff at open mic night.

When I got to college it was the grungy, hair colored, sex fiend feminazis but it was still Ani. A helluva lot louder and more rockin'.

I think Ani is awesome.

See, all you had to do was read my first post. The rest of the thread is just rehashing 

I really liked "The Past Didn't Go Anywhere" which is Ani producing and adding music to spoken word recordings of Utah Phillips.  It's cool.  I like her regular stuff as well.

On that album she looks like that Irish chick - the one that ripped the picture of the pope on SNL.

Yeah - her - bald chick

superwomen with mikes are funny because they piss all the right people off.

You're absolutely right about that - I never thought of that before, but you are absolutely right!
