Fans of Ani DiFranco are never kept hungry for long. The prolific and punky folkster--who has no shortage of attitude or albums (15 in the last ten years)--comes out with her third record this year. To the Teeth is a satisfying helping of the "Righteous Babe" at her best. Poignant protest songs? Check. Gritty self-examination? Check. Groovy giggly-wiggly fun? Check. DiFranco provides her fans with everything that they would expect from her and more...
...Teeth begins with the politically charged title track--a quietly seething attack on media, weapons and weapon manufacturers.

And above all, be sensitive--you should be well within your rights if you do all that, correct...
...midnight; it is already a meaningless hash of a clich?.? Processing tasks generally take about 15 minutes, and occur at the rate of perhaps three a day. Today was the issuing of Army t-shirts and a laundry bag, the taking of blood and the X-raying of teeth.? Tomorrow, we hear, will be haircuts and dealing with pay issues, possibly even the issuing of BDUs (fatigues). Standing in line for chow takes hours. Standing with the platoon at parade rest: more hours. We stand and sit and idle for hours and hours, supposedly as part of a grand military...
Back in her bathroom, Angela turns to splay her fingers under the hand sanitizer. Next she picks up her DentiGuard toothbrush, which checks for signs of gum disease and measures her bone density while it brushes her teeth. During the course of her morning routine, a total of 85 microscopic sensors, in everything from her hairbrush to the medicine cabinet, will keep tabs on her health. Most days she doesn't even notice their presence...
