I've compiled all our request info onto the Dent forums here: http://www.atforumz.com/showthread.php?s=9a33a1d08817866e81efb8438f9aa783&threadid=88883 It has the topic OMG THEY DON'T LIKE TORI to attract some attention. Everyone has to go and look and keep boosting the thread!!! xoxo Dan ;) ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 01 Nov 2001 17:17:57 +1100 From: Daniel G Subject: [oztori] The Polls Are In! After lengthy, essay avoiding thought, here are my top10 songs EVER. In no order. I can't put them in an order. BJORK - Unison [off "Vespertine" LP] FOURPLAY/JOY & LARA - Trust [unreleased as yet] GEORGE - Holiday [off "Bastard Son/Holiday" EP] TORI AMOS - Caught A Lite Sneeze [off "Boys for Pele" LP] LISA GERMANO - Around The World [off "Happiness" LP] COCTEAU TWINS - Aikea-Guinea [off "Aikea-Guinea" EP] THE SUNDAYS - Goodbye [off "Blind" LP] JANE SIBERRY - The Walking (and Constantly) [off "The Walking" Canadian LP] SARAH MCLACHLAN - Vox [off "Mirrorball" DVD] KATE BUSH - Houdini [off "The Dreaming" LP] Just so you know - I prefer the live "Vox" over the studio version - but studio version still kicks arse. Also, the US releases of Jane Siberry's "The Walking" have only the single edit on them, as opposed to the full 7 minute masterpiece. And I've done my darndest to keep it down to one per artist...otherwise it'd all be tori, jane, bjork and cocteau twins i'm sure. But I'm extremely happy with that list there and can't see it changing any time soon. I'm done (until something else groundbreaking comes along) xoxo Dan ;) ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 1 Nov 2001 17:15:22 +1100 From: Jean Mostyn Subject: [oztori] Release dates I too remember when Choirgirl was released and it was released here only one week after the US and elsewhere. Release date was 11 May 1998. I remember listening and cringing at the begining part of Raspberry Swirl soo much. Now i love all of that. its funny the things you think at times like this. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 1 Nov 2001 16:29:10 +1000 From: "Becc" Subject: [oztori] Oh Ricky you're so fine...

Dan, Vox is soooooooooooooo dated! lol. it still rocks, but i'd have to rate other Touch songs above it (the first one on the album who's name has slipped my mind; steaming). fuck, this is gonna be a hard list to compile. impulsively and not definitively, here's mine (unordered): - - Mercury and Solace by BT - - Through th Dark by The Sundays - - Cloud on My Toungue by Tozz - - Do What you Have to Do by Sarah Mclachlan - - Stage One (Pariah mix, and all the other mixes) by Space Maneouvres - - Round Here by Counting Crows - - I'll Be Your Lover Too by Van Morrison - - The Drugs Don't work, as covered by Ben Harper - - Submarine by Something For Kate - - Sattelite by BT fuck, already i'm think of more! lol l'il dan ===== So then I thought I'd make some plans But fire thought she'd really rather be water instead. - -Tori Amos http://thedent.com/rainn.html ____________________________ Make a great connection at Yahoo!

The Net 50 is the veritable who's-who of 'alternative' music in Australia. Despite being dominated by prepubescents, as connect-a-mate on Tuesday showed, it still reache millions of people. A high placing for Tori on the Net 50 = more airplay = more exposure = more sales. - -How? Simply Visit http://abc.net.au/triplej/net50/vote.htm and scroll down until you see Strange Little Girl. VOTE! you can fill in details about yourself too, but this isn't compulsary. Once you've voted, you'll be asked if you'd like to vote again. Say YES! Go back, and choose to fill in your own choice at the bottom of the page. Choose Winter by Tori. BOOST WINTER! Since it's not listed on the voting form for the net 50, no one will be able to vote against it in the way we vote against everything non-tori. Thus, our chances of getting it in the charts are pretty good if we all vote!!! - -Extra Time on Your Hands? The Net 50 is heavily influenced by 'Hate votes' (i.e people voting AGAINST songs). To boost Tori's position, vote AGAINST as many songs as you can! you can highlight lots of songs at once, and choose to vote against them. Another idea is to vote against every song sitting above Tori currently (you can find out the current chart at http://abc.net.au/triplej/net50/latest.htm ). Just remember to click on the I HATE option before you vote, or else you'll vote positively for those songs! And remember, if you then go on to vote for Tozza again, to check the I LOVE box. 2) VOTE ON SUPER REQUEST, TRIPLE J ********************************* - -Why? Super Request is Triple J's primetime show, with maximum listeners and coverage. Tori songs aired will reach a shitload of people, and help boost her Net 50 placing. - -How? * if you're in Australia, ring 1800 0555 36 between 6 and 10 EST. if you can get through, request something other than Strange Little Girl, since that's played all the time anyway. Ideally, choose Winter. If you manage to get on air, remember to plug www.oztori.com! * if you don't want to ring, or are overseas, you can go here: http://abc.net.au/triplej/requests/requests/default.htm and vote. Fill in the info about yourself (it IS needed here) and mention oztori in the 'about me' section! - -Extra Time on Your Hands? You can vote for as many different songs as you like, so run through the entire Tori catalouge! Remember, voting for the same song twice is pointless, as Super Request is not run on 'number of requests received' (although, songs that have been requested twice by two different people often get played). - -Progress? Tori's been on Super Request every night this week, including Silent All These Years on Monday!!! 3) REQUEST A CLUB SANDWICH, TRIPLE J ************************************* If you listen to Triple J at lunchtime, request a Club Sandwich (3 tracks of your choice). You need three tracks by different people, but as long as one of them is Tori (something from her back-catalouge) it's cool. Another thought, to make the request stand out and to add a Tori flavour, is to request Blue Skies by BT (which features Tozza's vocals). 4) REQUEST A VIDEO ON CHANNEL V ******************************** - -Why? It's Australia's biggest music video channel. - -How? *Ring 1902 220 330 *To vote online you have register, which is pretty quick, and from there you can vote vote vote.To register (enabling you to log in) go to: http://www.channelv.com.au/register/NewRegistration.asp To vote, go to: http://www.channelv.com.au/by_demand/bydemand_content.asp 5) VOTE FOR A VIDEO ON MUSICMAX ******************************* - -Why? It's Australia's second biggest video channel. - -How? Go here: http://www.musicmax.tv/request/request.asp Search for Tori Amos. Then fill in your info at the top of the Search Results page. Then vote. This site ROCKS! It has heaps of Tori clips to choose from, and according to their FAQ, they play every song requested, as many times as it's requested! Here's a list of all the Tori songs they have. You can vote for them all: just hit back on your browser: CORNFLAKE GIRL CAUGHT A LITE SNEEZE PAST THE MISSION PROFESSIONAL WIDOW SPARK RASPBERRY SWIRL GLORY OF THE EIGHTIES BLISS 1000 OCEANS CRUCIFY STRANGE LITTLE GIRL 6) VOTE FOR A VIDEO ON MUSIC COUNTRY *********************************** - -Why? To get Tori played, of course! - -How? Go here and vote for Winter or Strange Little Girl: http://musiccountry.tv/pr/itsyourgo.asp 7) BUY STRANGE LITTLE GIRLS ***************************** If you're planning on buying other covers, or (shock!) don't have a copy yet, go and buy it. Keeping the sales chugging along may not cause a staggering re-entry into the charts, but it will help with overall sales and show Atlantic that Tori has money to be made from her. 8) BUY TORI STUFF ****************** Need to replace an old album that's in bad condition? Fell like a shiny new Winter digipack? Still have holes in your single collection? Now's the time to act. Most of the singles you find in stores are still in print, and therefore they will probably be replaced if you buy them, showing Atlantic that people buy Tori singles. Buying old albums will show that she still has fans. Buying sheet music, videos and the like will all hep boost her credibility with money-hungry Warner (hello Renee) and Atlantic. Who cares about the povery line when you have Tori goodies? 9) PASS THIS ALONG ******************* e-mail lists, messageboards, friends (if you have any)... make sure as many people as posible see this list. 10) REVOTE!!! ************ similar to the word 'revolt', revoting will boost the cause no end. in other good news, most of the voting places have no restrictions on how many times you can vote for a song/video. as for triple J, well fuck them, we can vote as many times as we damn well please! you really have NO excuse not to revote for everything NOW! ~remember, if you have any more ideas, let the list know!~ ===== So then I thought I'd make some plans But fire thought she'd really rather be water instead. - -Tori Amos http://thedent.com/rainn.html ____________________________ Make a great connection at Yahoo!
