In this country, war has always come equipped with a soundtrack: There’s something about the adrenaline kick of battle, the roiling emotions, for and against, that lends itself to the visceral rush of sound. After all, the Revolutionary War was fought to the tune of “Yankee Doodle”; Vietnam had Bob Dylan. So, in this speeded-up age of instant downloads, it’s no surprise that Operation Iraqi Freedom would already have its own melodies. Nor should it come as any surprise that no one’s singing in harmony.

Music is the ultimate bully pulpit. And if it’s got a good beat and you can dance to it, so much the better. There’s Madonna, who recently shot an antiwar video with graphic war footage. Alanis Morissette is reportedly in the studio, working on a similarly themed song. Joseph “Reverend Run” Simmons, of the veteran hip-hop group Run-DMC, is recording a peace song with a roster of hip-hop all-stars. Yusuf Islam, aka Cat Stevens, came out of semi-retirement to release new versions of “Lady d’Arbanville” (now called “Angel of War”) and “Peace Train,” a world-beat rendition with vague Middle Eastern echoes that reflect his conversion to Islam.

Alanis Morissette is not who you think she is. After hearing songs like “You Oughta Know,” “Thank U,” and “Hands Clean,” as well as tunes from her new B-sides collection, Feast of Scraps, you could be forgiven for assuming Alanis is an angry, humorless killjoy who despises men and makes music best suited for misunderstood eighth-grade girls. But, as we found out by sitting down and talking with her, she’s not. In fact, she’s actually kind of cool. It’s amazing what people will tell you if you just bother to ask.

She Doesn’t Hate Men
“A lot of times, I’m perceived as this man-hating cunt who’s goal is to emasculate all men, but that’s not the case. When I was younger, I was definitely angry at men—blaming men a lot, pointing fingers, and perceiving myself the victim. But instead of cowering and saying, ‘I’m this poor little victim girl who’s oppressed and abused,’ I’ve taken responsibility for my role in it and realized there’s such a gift in my experiences with men.”

She Needs Her Mouth Washed Out With Soap
“There was a period over the last decade when I peppered every sentence with an expletive. It’s gotten a little better; I quell it a bit when I’m doing interviews because it can be distracting. But in my day-to-day life, my mouth is pretty truck-driver-esque, much to the chagrin of my poor father.”

She’s a Jock
“I love using my body as an instrument rather than an ornament. I did a bunch of triathlons when I was young, and after Jagged Little Pill, I did a few in Los Angeles. I’ve skied ever since I was three, when my parents stuck me on a pair of skis and kind of pushed me down a hill. Then, about five years ago I started snowboarding and never looked back. I also surf. I went a few months ago in Hawaii, and I’ve been obsessed with it ever since. And I used to be a huge hockey fan. I’m actually the honorary captain of the Ottawa Senators.”

She Thinks She’s Normal
“I feel extremely normal. I spend a little extra energy trying to convince people of that, but it’s such a fine line between wanting to live a normal life and not being stupid [about doing it]. Sometimes I’ll go places alone and halfway through the night, think, What kind of fucking idiot am I? Why did I come here alone? But the thought of showing up somewhere with a ton of bodyguards doesn’t feel right in my stomach. I mean, I adore the girl-next-door part of me because I have the ability to walk around and not be crazily recognizable. It allows me to feel very connected to people.”

She Knows Her Psychobabble Annoys People
“I’m a psychology junkie. I know it’s a little unusual to have that kind of psychological inquiry in the middle of songs, but the best part of a CD is that you don’t have to listen to it. Maybe what people are upset by is the conflict of narcissism, but narcissism is not self-care. I think self-awareness or self-consciousness or self-whateverness is a really good thing. The world would be a better place if people focused on themselves a little more.”

Some Guys Really Like Her Music
“I know that, since I’m a woman, [the music’s] probably a little bit more relatable to women, but a lot of men connect with it on a human level. In fact, after Supposed [Former Infatuation Junkie] came out, I walked out onstage for the first show in this club and it was all 40-year-old men. I was like, ‘What the fuck happened?’ I think Supposed was a little softer on men, so maybe there was an ‘Oh, wow. She doesn’t want to eat us for dinner’ element to it.

Debt-laden US media giant AOL Time Warner is examining plans to sell its Warner Music division, home to Madonna, the Red Hot Chilli Peppers and Alanis Morissette and once the biggest music publisher in the world, according to US reports.

Rather than sell Warner as a whole, AOL Time Warner is looking to offload Warner's music publishing, DVD and CD business and record labels as three independent lots.

The US media group is hoping to sell Warner/Chappell - its music publishing division - for $1.5bn (£925,000), its DVD and CD manufacturing business WEA (Warner-Elektra-Atlantic) for $1bn and its recorded music operation - which includes Warner Bros Records and Atlantic Records - for another $1bn, according to reports in the New York Post.

AOL Time Warner is considering the sale in a bid to reduce long term debt. Following the record-breaking merger between AOL and Time Warner in 2001, the new entity promised to grow revenues to $40bn a year. Last year however, the group reported a net loss of $98.7bn dollars, the biggest loss in US corporate history - and more than the gross domestic product of Egypt.

US reports said possible buyers for the Warner units included rival record companies Sony Music, EMI and Bertelsmann's BMG. But BMG is currently thought to be looking at acquiring EMI - fresh from its success at last month's Grammy Awards - and could team with Sony as a possible merger ally.

Warner Music itself was last month reported to be re-examining the possible acquisition of EMI. It tried to acquire the UK record company three years ago, only to be thwarted by EU regulatory authorities concerned by the merger of parent Time Warner with AOL.

However, like Warner Music, virtually all the major record labels are suffering from stagnating sales, blamed in part of the rise of illegal downloading of music tracks from the internet.

Set up by Warner Bros founder Jack Warner in 1958, Warner Music began life with artists such as the Everly Brothers, later buying Frank Sinatra's record label in 1961 and Atlantic Records five years later. It owns more than a million song titles and its back catalogue features tracks by The Eagles, Jimi Hendrix and Led Zeppelin. Warner Music was unavailable for comment.

NEW YORK (Variety) - Maverick Records, the joint venture label between Madonna and Warner Bros., has inked a deal to distribute its tracks through the label-backed digital music service MusicNet.

Under the terms of the nonexclusive pact, MusicNet subscribers will be able to stream or download digitized tracks from Maverick's catalog, which includes music from Alanis Morissette, the Deftones and Michelle Branch.

However, Maverick has not licensed its tracks for use in one of MusicNet's key services -- allowing "permanent" downloads that can be burned onto a CD or uploaded into a portable device. The label declined to comment as to whether it would authorize such functions in the future.

MusicNet recently made a quantum leap forward in its bid to capture a piece of the mainstream music market, as America Online rolled out its version of the service to its 37 million Internet-access customers. Service competes head-to-head with label-supported rival Pressplay, as well as independent digital-music startups such as FullAudio and Listen.com's Rhapsody.
