I don't know about anyone else, but I was able to get hold of both (I think) of these books at my uni library. I know I read one or the other of them there.

OK I might get 'criticised' for saying this (:P) but from what I've heard of her (which has admittedly only been Sleep to Dream, Criminal, Shadow Boxer, Across the Universe, Fast As You Can, and Limp), it's like.. every song of hers is some 'relationship gone wrong' thing." Not true. Some of them are about relationships yet to go wrong, some are about relationships she's going to make go wrong, and some are about people she'd like to be in a relationship with (presumably so it can go wrong ;) ) but isn't.... But seriously. I guess there is a lot of relationship-based stuff in her music (by relationship, I mean 'Relationship' with a capital R, because well, pretty much all music is about relationships of some kind). But love does make sense to me as something that people will be inspired to write about (whether it be prose, poetry, music, blah blah, whatever). It's when singers just keep reproducing the same old bullshit, same old music, same old words, that irks me (see the Top 40 for about forty examples of this). When people are able to write about it in a way that makes you sit up and go, "Ooh!" about the way they've put it, especially when they're singing about something very subtle that you've never heard mentioned in a love song before, that's good stuff. If you purely wanta bitch about the whole 'relationship gone wrong' thing, though (regardless of how she approaches it), I'll have to give you that. Fiona herself commented that 'I Know' is the only song she's ever written with a happy ending. ~Becc. :) - -- witnessed: www.barbaric-yawp.com/journal ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 16 Nov 2001 12:10:23 +1000 From: "Double Serpent" Subject: [oztori] RIP Festie! >Nathan - founder of the 'The Winner Is..

SLG completed Tori's contract with Atlantic. I don't know if you can really drop someone whose contract is over, and who you've been doing fuckall to promote for the last three bloody albums anyway. /nm Here's the relevant bit of the LA Times article: AMOS AMBLING? Tori Amos' "Strange Little Girls" came out just a few weeks ago, but the distinctive singer-songwriter is close to leaving Atlantic Records, which released that album and all her previous work, for a new deal. With her Atlantic contract expiring with "Girls," she is near an agreement with Epic Records. "We're getting close, but the [new] contract is not finished," says Amos' manager, Arthur Spivak. "Nothing is etched in stone." That would seem to set up a tense situation with Atlantic, which is still charged with promoting "Strange Little Girls," a strange little album in which Amos has created a series of characters to reinvent male-oriented songs from female perspectives. But Spivak says that everything is going smoothly. "Atlantic is working this album no differently, and there are still thoughts that she could return to the label," he says. "The album's doing well. Atlantic's done a great job of marketing her and there's still a long way to go with this record." Amos is touring in support of the album (she'll play the Wiltern Theatre Nov. 15-17) and tentatively plans to release an album of original songs sometime next year. /nm ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 15 Nov 2001 22:22:17 -0800 (PST) From: Nathan R Subject: Re: [oztori] no subject, just a lot of crap Jasmina J wrote: > ditto, i never even cared to listen to any female > artists b4 tori, but thats > all changed now (even tho you will never take KORN > away from me :) What?

If you believe anything said on the forums, it's actually 'fucks', and is printed as such in the lyric sheet for the CD in the Taiwanese version (or something like that).
