...Alanis Unplugged, her new live album, is even more likely to split audiences because it combines hits from Jagged Little Pill, songs from Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie, a few cover songs (the Police's "King of Pain," for instance) and a couple of new ones. It's a mish-mash of the old and new Alanis. Jagged Little Pill, remember, didn't have a single throwaway song (even the hidden track was fantastic). Junkie tried to show us a more sophisticated Alanis, but it was an iffy album--many of the songs were just stream-of-consciousness rambling without...
...Trying to figure out fashion at Harvard is like trying to figure out what the "three meats" are in the dining hall's "three meat lasagna." It's a big mish-mash of good, bad and often ugly. It's like any normal school--only with a lot more prepsters and Gucci-lovers. But a friend of mine--a "proven" trendsetter (remember Hypercolor? That was all her. Cavariccis?

And all Maynard did was sell a bunch of mash notes she had saved from a boyfriend of 27 years ago to raise college tuition for her children. Except that the boyfriend happened to be J.D. Salinger--the eremite of Cornish...
Harvard has also flirted with queer studies, a mish-mash of 1960s performance theory and post-structuralism. Marxist cultural criticism and post-modernist theories seem to be mainstays of many introductory humanities courses...
