Aimee Mann will kick off her tour in support of Lost In Space with a November 5th show at the Wiltern Theater in Los Angeles. Mann released the follow-up to 2000's Bachelor No. 2 on her own Superego label last month. The LP debuted at thirty-five on the charts and the album's eleven songs found Mann plumbing the concepts of obsession and addiction.

"I think everybody has that kind of behavior, everybody has that tendency at various times," Mann says. "They have this compulsive behavior where they're trying to alter their mood by whatever means necessary. It's really interesting too, because people have a direction that seems healthy, like they exercise all the time or work constantly and so it's hard to call 'em on it, although it's really clear it comes from this really obsessive place."
