I don't know how available this will be in other countries. She talks about all sorts of things including probably spending Christmas in wet Britain... And does anyone else think some of the pictures in Q look really different to normal, in some of them her face looks more 'long and pointy' somehow, and I must say, your eyes get somewhat dragged to the cover of Q (in England the magazine is in nearly every shop (very distracting) Luv'n'stuff Linette - ---------------------------------------------------------- " I'm a genius, not an engineer" ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 15 Apr 1998 18:21:31 +0200 From: richard68@globalxs.nl Subject: turning mp3's into wavs Hi!

Does anyone have all or most of Tori's videos on tape? If anyone does, I would be more than willing to send you a tape and money for postage and maybe I can copy something of mine for you. Please e- mail me at BFett26@aol.com if you can help me out and I can tell you what I have. Thanks.

There will be an interview with Tori. Also, could some kind soul tape this as I do not own a VCR--I know, I know pathetic. Thanks.

I got this info from www.tori.com. Yipee! BTW, it notes that Tori's made 14 videos. Has anyone kept up with all of these? I'd sure like to get a videotape of all her videos-- just the videos. Not TV appearances. - -jen ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 15 Apr 1998 10:29:49 EDT From: JEDAS1 Subject: Re: Bigger Tour Venues on the Un-Club Tour In a message dated 4/14/98 9:42:35 PM, Eichmiller@cardiff.ac.uk wrote: <> I'm not unhappy that she's playing a stadium.

So playing a stadium to me is good b/c that way other people will be able to see her. Anyone know when that information comes out....as far as when she's touring us? ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 15 Apr 1998 17:45:11 GMT0BST From: Ruthless Subject: Release Date Mix-Up Hi Everbody, OK- I thought you would all find this humourous. The man at Virgin and his friend who manges HMV both said the cd single was no longer a CD2 and that the album date had been pushed back. I got upset and asked if anyone here had heard that--no one had. I rang East West and they told me it wasn't true. Today one of my students tells me that the bloke at Virgin and his mate are angry because Tori moved her Newport Tour Date from the end of May to the end of June and now they cannot attend that show. Basically, they are taking their angst out on all the Tori listeners who enter their store. Take Care, Ruth After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressable is music. - - Aldous Huxley ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 15 Apr 1998 11:01:22 PDT From: "Capriccio 191" Subject: Creative Loafing Hi! Here's a little preview for the Atlanta concert. Kinda negative, but most of the writers for these magazines are.... "TORI AMOS- Maybe she will cheer up a bit since she got married. Amos might not have created the "quirky girl with songs" genre, but she is definately the patron saint. She often comes across as Kate Bush with termial PMS, and can be so incredibly presumptous and self-aggrandizing that you want to hit her. On a positive note, I think she is cute. David Poe opens. Roxy. (James Kelly)" I really think that music journalists should start going to see a perfomer before they do a preview of their show...or at least watch a video or something. They are really starting to piss me off and I think that I want to do music journalism just to gove people an objecctive view of the artists...not a "they sound like, so they must be ripping off..". Geez that irritates me.

In my experience, songs that appeared on promos, almost always end up as singles later on. Or maybe they were just put on the promo, 'cos they best represented the new record? Another thing; I just saw the preview of the Spark video, and I must say, I found it pretty disturbing as well. I wasn't sure what it meant at first, but I think Tori's showing us, how she's punishing/torturing herself for losing her child (even tho it's not her fault) and yet, at the same time,feeling helpless, not being able to control the situation or do anything about it. I don't wanna get too deep into this; it's just my interpretation and I haven't seen the entire video yet. It did make me understand the song better and also realize why "Merman" wouldn't have been such an appropriate b-side for this track. I think in most cases Tori does make a concious decision what b-sides to put on which singles, and she doesn't just randomly group songs together. Coming back to the video: Does anyone recall seeing initials carved into a tree, and if so, does anyone remember what those initials were or what they mean? thanks for reading sabrina ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 15 Apr 1998 17:26:35 +0000 From: "Northern Lad" Subject: Re: Release Dates Pushed Back and CD2 Dropped On 14 Apr 98 at 18:00, Ruthless spewed forth: > They also said that the tentative release date was April 20th but it > may get pushed back. They also said that the actual album release > date may be pushed back until June-worldwide. I think this is absurd. If this were true, Tori would have to postpone her tour dates too, as there's no point touring to promote an album that isn't in the shops yet (This Is Spinal Tap, anyone..?). The album's finished, Atlantic! Just press it and sell it! Or are they having problems with the new digital encryption system that only lets the person who actually bought the CD play it and hear "Choirgirl..", whilst others only hear "The Best Of Tommy Steele"?

WWW.TORI.COM REPORTS IN THEIR NEWS SECTION: 4.15.98 Leno date changed to May 11th Tori's scheduled appearance on NBC-TV's "Tonight Show With Jay Leno" has been changed from May 12th to Monday, May 11th.

Okay, usually on MTV they show a video on the show 120 minutes before they even "premeire" it. Take for example the Foo Fighters. The "My Hero" video was shown on 120 minutes about 2 days before it was premeired on MTV live. So, im not saying to set your VCR's, im just saying that you need to watch for her on 120, OR 12 angry viewers.

Yes, I have ONE Tori Amos ticket for Monday the 20th at the Roxy. Whoever buys the ticket will have to attend the show, or at least get in via me, because my drivers license is on the ticket.

I guess when I posted about how I copied Merman from the cache it didn't occur to me that other people didn't have the same problems listening to the song as I did. It sounds silly now that I think back on it. To redeem myself I thought I would explain that when I went to the site I got an error message saying that I don't have the viewer to load the specified file, do I want to go download the viewer or something like that. I said to myself, well I know I have the viewer but sure, take me there anyway, which in turn gave me another error message that the URL was wrong. So I popped up my Winamp and typed the address into it and that worked fine. So my only way to access the song was through the Winamp player itself which doesn't give the option to save.(unless my version is outdated?) On another note, I have a question Does anyone have any info on the duet of Tori and Michael Stipe that didn't make it on the Don Juan Demarco album. Was it ever released on anything, even a bootleg? All I know is what was written in Take to the Sky. If anyone knows anything else please let me know! Thanks bunches!
