Someone forwarded me this joke. Enjoy: An Aussie is having his breakfast (coffee, croissants,bread, butter and jam) when an American man, chewing gum, sits down next to him. The Aussie ignores the American who, nevertheless, starts a conversation. American: You Aussie folk eat the whole bread? Aussie : (in a bad mood) Of course. American: (after blowing a huge bubble) We don't. In the States,we only eat what's inside. The crusts we collect in a container, recycle it, transform them into croissants and sell them to Australia. The American has a smirk on his face. The Aussie listens in silence. The American persists: D'ya eat jam with the bread? Aussie: Of course. American (cracking his gum between his teeth and chuckling): We don't. In the States we eat fresh fruit for breakfast, then we put all the peels, seeds, and left-overs in containers, recycle them, transform them into jam and sell the jam to Australia. The Aussie now asks: Do you have sex in America? American: Why of course we do?, the American says with a big smirk. Aussie: And what do you do with the condoms once you've used them? American: We throw them away, of course. Aussie: We don't. In Australia, we put them in a container, recycle them, melt them down into chewing gum and sell them to America. .

Here's something on the 'million dollar question' that nobody has stipulated at all yet: WHAT IF the person who was going to die at the press of the button was YOU?! I mean, you would be 'one person in Australia'. Shit load of good winning the $1 million would be before doing yourself away. BUT... My argument FOR pulling the trigger is: random people die every second, and so what is one more? Furthermore, there is no plausible way that pressing a button can be 'linked' with a person's death, unless you are extremely gullible and/or an overly superstitious/irrational being... or if the button was linked to a 20 000 volt switch which was tied to some poor sould and would go off once you pushed the button.

Vespertine has arrived! And its mine and noone else is allowed to hear it. It is most DEFINITELY^ a headphones album [*teehee* headphones...bjork...geddit?]. Its like Bjork has made it just for YOU and nobody else. You just take it all in and...whee! away you go. By no means Bjork by numbers and COMPLETELY different from anything else [well, musical similarities could be found in pieces like the modern things, joga, unravel, like someone in love, one day, but on an emotional level, its totally new]. Its like its giving you a big cuddle [not a hug or anything like that...it is most definitely^ a cuddle] and when its finished you just have to go and give someone else a big cuddle. A total "i love you" cuddle that goes on forever even though you've finished. A mate and I were talking last night and thought wouldn't it be cool if you could have music piped straight into your brain without doing anything so crude as having to pass through the air and through your ears. This is one of those albums. Playing it in the open just feels wrong. Its for you to wrap your head in and your body and just go *sigh*. I'm sorry, but as good as it is, Strange Little Girls is just no competition. And the packaging...the back is SOLID white with a sticker on it...I'm imagining the whole thing in solid plastic with a sticker on the front as being even more suited...a pure white wrapping for a pure white album.

Yeah it was fun, albeit a little chaotic. And congratulations to anyone who won CD's. I'm sorry you're not feeling so well.

The story is kind of short (about two pages) but it includes a lot of great information and new quotes from Tori. Here's among what I thought was most interesting: - - (About "Bonnie & Clyde"): To reenact the song's setting, Amos's crew built a small box inside of which she recorded the vocals -- a reconstruction of the car's trunk that casts a new, eerie shadow over the song. - - "Happiness is a Warm Gun" was the first song Tori decided to use for the album. Audio samples are taken from Tori's dad, as well as former president George Bush and his son, George W. Says Tori, "I figured if I was doing a Bush father and son, I needed to do an Amos father and daughter." - - She considered recording "Time" on the organ but went to the piano instead. The song is from Death's point of view. - - "Rattlesnakes" is her personal favorite. She used a "Rhodes delay back and forth" to create the sound of a rattlesnake's tail. Tori "refuses to name a few anonymous pals who added extra overdubs to the cut." - - "I'm Not In Love" is supposed to sound like "an ancient Japanese dance, like a ritual dance." Adrian Belew used a drill along with his guitar. Also some nice quotes about "New Age," "I Don't Like Mondays," and "Heart of Gold." New Age: "The character is really engulfed with passion. And I think she's really worried about what the new age is going to be, and she's determined not to sit on the sidelines anymore as it develops. There's this igniting of passion on the whole record." I Don't Like Mondays: "It was sung from the point of view of the cop who went to the school that day, because I couldn't hold the essence of this person who went and killed everybody. I had to be able to hold something in a structure of women, or I couldn't be in the chair for them." It was sung in a "childlike effect... I didn't believe that this [convicted felon] was a bad seed. So I wanted to create it in this sort of shattered playground world." Heart of Gold: The article basically says Tori respects Neil Young's version but many of her male friends believe it's about a woman who is "easy to be cheated on." So Tori sings it from that perspective. The article confirms the four album covers will be "Time," "Raining Blood," "Strange Little Girl" and "Happiness is a Warm Gun." ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 28 Aug 2001 09:28:24 +1000 From: Daniel Hirning Subject: Re: [oztori] From ICE magazine Tuesday, August 28, 2001, 8:59:54 AM, Renee wrote: HR> - She considered recording "Time" on the organ but went to the piano HR> instead.
