Fischer" Subject: Re: NEW TORI AMOS ALBUM DETAILS (3/2)!!!!!! I am guessing from the track list that has been released that 'Cooling' never made it onto the new album. Maybe it will be a b-side, but it could also be on the album with a different title. Has anyone heard anything about it? I really liked the version of it she performed during the last tour, so I think it would be a shame if it was not released eventually.

I love that title......Liquid diamonds... > > > 7.  "Liquid Diamonds" I know! That's the first thing that came into my mind when I was reading through the list of songs- I may not know what it's going to sound like, but I sure do like the title! :) I also like the sound of Northern Lad....oh god, I hope they release the album in Asia the same time they do for the rest of the world.

Oh oh oh! I am sooo excited! I can't wait! Tori really is holding us in suspense with this whole CLUB TOUR THING! It's nearing and still no word.!!! Hehe,,, Any guesses on what her first single will be? I'm guessing....I dunno.. Cruel? cuz of all those rumors I kinda thought Raspberry Swirl, but for some reason I am thinking another Hello. Mr. Zebra. GREAT SONG, but I don't think its radio material... ANother cool first album might be... Liquid Diamonds!!! *leaps around room* YIPPE SKIPPEEE laura ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 03 Mar 1998 10:05:42 -0500 From: Beth Coulter Subject: Guesses for first single OK Guys, ante up. $.02 a guess (who is keeping track of the tuppences again?) I really think the first single will be "Hotel". I don't know why I think that, but I think that might be where that line "confessionings" comes from. Uneducated guess is all. If this is wrong, then I think "Cruel" will be the single. And another guess--"Liquid Diamonds" will feature the steel drums we've heard about. I don't know why I think that, just that a steel drum band does sound a bit like "liquid diamonds" :) As far as B-sides, My guesses that we can look forward to three of them, "For Mark" (no, never released as an "official single"), "Cooling" and one that isn't even in the rumor mill, but I think Tori has one called "Dante's Womb". Just a guess mind you. I am not starting a rumor--I know Nothzing, nothzing!!! I just guess good sometimes. And I hope "Peeping Tommy" will finally find his way out of the closet and makes it as a B-side. That was a song written in the UtP era (I believe, correct me if I'm wrong) that Tori locked in a vault because it wasn't time for it yet. She did say one day "Peeping Tommy" will have his chance to strut if he really wants. OK Guys, these are all my own opinion/guesses. I don't want to hear "Bethey said that...". I'm just speculating. Is that enough of a disclaimer? Interesting to hear other thoughts and see how close we all get.

BT is from Baltimore, and our wonderful radio station (WHFS) played it immediately--more for the Tori content. They don't play techo, just alternative. ***The Tori content thing is my personal speculation, but I have spent a lot of time at the radio station and know most of the guys. They also made sure to mention Tori when playing the song. Stephanie WeirdyBoi wrote: > BT is acutally one man. His name is Brian Transeau.

Hi Guys.. Well, while we're all guessing about these song titles, I've got another one for you to guess at... Which of the songs is she going to refer to "Neil" in, if she does refer to him at all, this time? ;-) Oh, and my wish list of songs for her to play on tour this time round... Sugar Tear In Your Hand Horses (even if she doesn't open with BQ/Horses any more) Siren (I'd love to see what a band could do with that live!)

Many of you have ordered from them and have had both good and bad experiences. For those of you who do not know what IGG is, it is an internet CD sales company that features Tori Amos as one of their top sellers. IGG usually has pre-sale orders of the latest Tori Imported CD singles and offers them at a fairly low price. With the new record due shortly, it is now time to think about who we want to give our business to. Last July, IGG started advertising on their web site the "Tori Amos/RAINN promotional brochure" for $10. This is the same material that RAINN provides free of charge both to supporters and to survivors of sexual abuse. Basically, IGG has been profiting from the work of RAINN, the non-profit organization co-founded by Tori. RAINN does not see one cent of the money collected by IGG. Not only does RAINN get ripped off, but the people who pay $10 for the brochure, are as well. Secondly, it says right on the brochure, "FOR PROMTIONAL USE ONLY. NOT FOR SALE." I have spoken to RAINN officals and they have told me that they formally notified IGG to stop this practice, but IGG still continues to make it available. RAINN is considering legal action. We can do our part by ending all ties with IGG. Not only are you doing good for yourself, but you are helping RAINN as well. I am sure that they would be proud of your efforts. If you have any other questions, please feel free to email me. Sincerely, ~RYan Sudick ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 3 Mar 1998 18:37:02 +0000 From: "Katherine A.
