"In Praise Of The Vulnerable Man" has been released as a digital single in the UK and Ireland this week. The iTunes format features a brand new b-side titled "Break".
Here is a performance of the track on Jimmy Kimmel Live:
According to an Italian fan site, the second single in the US will be "Not As We" (as stated during her appearance on Jay Leno) while Europe will get "In Praise Of The Vulnerable Man". Why they haven't already released the brilliant "Versions Of Violence" is beyond me. It should have been the album's first single.
The marketing of "Flavors Of Entanglement" has been quite dismal. The terrible choice of first single "Underneath" (my least favourite off the album) killed the album before it was even released. "Flavours" has managed to sell just below half a million copies worldwide since its release three months ago. In the US, it currently sits at #146 with total sales of 177,252. Unfortunately, the album looks to become Alanis' lowest selling international studio album yet - a continuing trend with each release since her peak in the mid-90s with the classic, 30 million selling "Jagged Little Pill".
