Hiya peoples, I think this is news. I have been checking Rolling Stone on AOL everyday to see if the Tori article is up. IT IS! Her pic is gorgeous, and there's the usual article snippet and downloads. I am not sure if this is on Rolling Stone on the WWW, but to all AOL members, go to KEYWORD: Rolling Stone And read it!

This kind of elitism always distresses me. Tori isn't "our" artist, whom we cannot share her with the masses. Her preciousness and talent won't be degraded if she suddenly becomes popular with the sheep who like the Spice Girls or Puff Daddy. She will always be special, regardless of who likes or doesn't like her.

It is usually on during 1 and 2 pm weekdays during Jesse's or Matt Pinfield's show. They switch off occasionally. Anyway, back when they weren't at this Summershare thing, Matt would show it. Now at Summershare, Jesse usually shows it, with a little phrase like, and here's the most lovely lady in the world, Tori Amos. Or, here's Spark from Tori Amos. I just love her. It was on today, but look for it between 1 and 2 pm. K? Good.

Around here, there's a lot of palm trees--yes, believe it or not, it's actually "sub-(sub)-tropical"--and most of them are Dracaena palms which have spiky narrow leaves and look a lot like tops of pineapples, especially when they're small. Maybe that's where the "metaphor" comes from. - -- Ken Tough Cornwall, U.K. Edge of the planet, then turn left. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 6 Jun 1998 01:23:22 +0800 From: "Subashini" Subject: Re: Boys For Pele > Okay, I'm raising my hand. I Looove it. And I find it impossible to rank > the albums. I literally love all of them equally. Yes, I do. Does anyone > else find it hard to dislike anything she writes? *Raises hand*. I really thought I was gonna hate FTCH because a lot of people did, but whaddya know...I'm obsessed with the album. And whaddya know, I'm also obsessed with BfP. And UtP, and LE. With Tori, it's never less than beautiful music.

It's so abstract, diverse, emotional, vulerable. And 18 songs! I know the critics at Rolling Stone dissed it for that, but I admire it for that. It's as if she was confident and sure enough to take a chance, go out on a limb. And the writing is so much more complex than UtP, which I adore! UtP was my first Tori, so I have this special, warm, homey feel for it. But Boys! It was the last one I got, and I love it almost as much as LE. <> I do. BfP is a breakthrough. I love the harpsicord songs so much, they're so funky! I love BfP so much, that a couple of the fish I am getting this weekend are named for songs in it: Talula Jupiter I'm also considering Pele, Twinkle, Shiseido, Jamaica, Pandora, January, Precious, Easter, Phantom, China, Leather. Mostly BfP names though. Anyway, Boys is a gorgeous album, and has helped me in so many ways. I love every song. And know how I said the other day I didn't like CALS? I listened again, and now I do. Now I only have two unfavorites, Hotel and PW. That's the power of those songs. And I bet soon I'll like PW again. Hey Jupiter is my favorite since I first heard it. Peace, Manda C (Going to click off MTV and put on Boys for Pele!) ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 5 Jun 1998 09:22:24 +0200 From: Thomas Lauritsen Subject: Danish review of FTCH The Danish magazine Gaffa has a review of FCGH in the June 1998 issue. The original Danish version can be found at their website at http://www.gaffa.dk. Here is my translation : - ---------------------------------------------- Tori Amos : From The Choirgirl Hotel Written by Lars Nielsen When Tori Amos releases a new album, people listen. She has, with her previous three album, showed that she is one of the most interesting and most original voices of the 90's on the international rockscene. Her fourth album, Form The Choirgirl Hotel, proves her's position in line with Bjork, Sheryl Crow and Alanis Morissette. The 12 new songs is brighter, more open and more swinging than the compositions on her last album, the dark, sombre and painful Boys For Pele from 1996. Still the words is being carried by Tori's dynamic piano playing and her incredible voice, but the new thing is the rhythm. She plays with beats, drum playing and percussionsound in a way so the sensuality is flowing from the speakers. >From the opening track Spark, which sound like Denmark's own Dicte, over the beautiful Black Dove (January) till the aggressive She's Your Cocaine, Tori plays with fire that allures, burns and exterminate. From the flickering flame of the candle to the all-consuming bonfire, Tori Amos is able to do it all. She is reliefingly provocative and self-willed in her attack on the music, life and the words Grade : 6 out of 6. Topgrade ! - ---------------------------------------------- Pretty nice I think, but I don't agree about "sound like Denmark's own Dicte" ?? I will post another (and longer) review next week, but I have to translate it first. - - Thomas Lauritsen Copenhagen, Denmark (work) (home) ------------------------------ End of precious-things-digest V3 #211 *************************************
