Welcome Megan! What part of sydney are you from? You have very good taste in music by the looks of it... Well i don't really have much to say except i'm bored and i am procrastinating from cleaning (we are having the family xmas at our place this year - so there is much cleaning to be done...) I'm going to Natalie Merchant - almost regretting it now. $80? wtf is up with that! I should pay an extra $15 and gone to BDO (which i'm missing for some random reason that i'm not sure i remember) and i'm going to be in Perth when Garbage are playing sydney and i'll be back in sydney before BDO hits perth. How much does that suck! I saw them last time they were out and they were AWESOME! So Dylan - when is Miss Tori going to make "her" debut sydney appearance??? i'd love to see it! So anyway - i'm gonna go to bed or something like that i think. Bugger cleaning!

LADY! LADY!! LADY!!! LADY IN THE FRENCH MAID'S SUIT!!! the song is 'set' at christmas though (in the instrumental you can hear her murmur "merry christmas" and it fades out to a forlorn version of jingle bells). she's drunk and its christmas. won't you carry her home? jane siberry - are you burning little candle jane siberry - in the bleak midwinter my two favourite "real" christmas songs. she wrote the first, the 2nd is traditional or something. for the record "messages from sophia" is my favourite non-"real" christmas song. also, just because it HAS to be there jane siberry - the twelve days of christmas kate bush - home for christmas kate bush - december will be magic again i'd love to hear the bongos version of this [see, tori wasn't the only one to do a bongos version of a song in demo form...she's a kate-kopy all the way!]. like the SNOW! *dances away* someone - all through the night we used to have this on a christmas record that my grandparents had. but it went missing one day. now the only version i have is jane siberry's (off her "hush" album) but its not quite the same. loreena mckennit - good king wenceslas this song rules. enya - oiche chi'un (sorry if i've spelt it wrong andrew) its not as good as i always used to think, but its still nice throwing muses/kristin hersh/ani difranco/tori amos - amazing grace this is a GREAT song. out of all those versions i think ani's and the muses' are the best. also I think over coles xmas radio (which SUCKS) there is a song sung by natalie merchant - at least it sounds like her - thats pretty funky, but i've no idea what its called. i think i'm done! have a good christmas everyone with presents and good food and lots of guilt feelings! xoxo Dan ;) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ My pillow screams too But so does my kitchen. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ OzTori - http://www.oztori.org For all your Australasian Tori Amos needs. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 24 Dec 2001 11:44:29 +1100 From: "Dylan Plant" Subject: RE: [oztori] *de-lurk* Akte wrote: (and where have you been miss?)

Or maybe his name was just Stewart Little.. buggered if I can remember.. well *somebody* is called "Stewart Littlemore". I'd think of it near the end when Tori ad-libs "littlemore littlemore Fayth" and subsequently think of him. Oh well... my mind is wired differently, you see :) Nathan. .
