Instructions were to introduce myself, so here I am. Anyway firstly, don't know if anyone noticed but there are spelling and gramatical errors in the mailing list intro: " Also, if upon receiving this notice, could each subsciber please send to the to the group a bit of personal information to introduce yourself. " What do I do? By my title, I'm apparently a "Programmer". I don't really do much programming, I mostly administrate our Unix/Linux computers and help my users with computer problems and data reports. I'm also a photography enthusiast, my main camera being a Nikon D100. What about Tori Amos? I first discovered her when her single "Cornflake Girl" came out. It pretty much stopped me in my tracks, I never imagined a piano could be played like that! Anyway from then on, I bought her album "Under the Pink", went back, bought her first album "Little Earthquakes", got blown away by it, its probably my favourite album. From then on, bought any album she released. Then there was a period of time between albums when I got impatient waiting for a new album. Then I discovered her B-sides. Spent heaps of money importing most of her singles from the US. I HAD to get each B-side. Anyway, got one left I have to get, the one which Tori does the Joni Mitchel cover of "A Case of You". Now I'm waiting for her new album. :) Do you think we will see the limited DVD version here in Australia? I haven't seen it on any of the Australian online stores I've checked out. I'm thinking of ordering it at Amazon.com Anyway, thats my intro.

This is so funny, really... Why TF do they even plan to make/release these singles, where every fucking one has gone through some major hassle since Raspberry Swirl 4 years ago?

Firstly, as for the DVD, I posted this link a few days ago: http://www.atforumz.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=154037 Still, as with everything, I'll believe it when I see it. > First sonymusic.com.au removes their listing for the ASF single from their 'coming soon' section, now chaosmusic.com.au has done the same. Now, the fact that both chaos and sanity had the album image up and not the single had me a little concerned, and that the album was mentioned on that 'new releases' board at one of my local record stores, but not the single, I was also a little concerned. Someone needs to contact a Sony rep... oh shit, I've just remembered a friend from high school works for them (at least he did a few years ago... time to contact him again!).

So far the UK is the only place supposedly getting an ASF CD single, no? LOL - I'm waiting for another "Strange Little Girl" single fiasco to take place. This is *really* poor of Epic, IMO. First song released by an artist on a new lable and they're not even bothering to issue a commercial single. I could almost understand if it was Atlantic (through Warner here, obviously) - but a) this is not the US (where singles are basically defunct), and b) they should be trying to *promote* this 'new artist' as much as possible. > We ARE getting the DVD release though. (small > mercies...) Do you know how 'limited' this is going to be? And does anyone know exactly what is on the DVD? (no, I've not been checking the dent lately).
