This Tori quote is from Beth Coulter's report on Tori's appearance on VH1 Storytellers in New York City, October 24, 1998: http://members.aye.net/~mikewhy/storytellers.html Tori said there was one thing that has been kept out of the media, and she can only thank her girlfriends (and some boy-friends) that have been loyal to her. In between her Sylvia Plath and heavy classics and non-fiction, she used to have books like The Flames of Love, etc. Trashy romance novels. She felt ashamed, but was so hooked on them. But one day she was talking to Beene and was reminded how she used to always read them but not anymore, and why was that? "Because I met this guy, he's no white knight, but I wrote this for him." and went into Northern Lad. After she finished, she told us, "I'm really not supposed to talk about him, see we made a deal; I married him." - -- Ken Tough Cornwall, U.K. Edge of the planet, then get out and walk. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 13 Nov 1998 09:17:22 -0500 From: Nadyne Mielke Subject: Newbie November I've seen folks here looking for bootlegs or trades or what-have-you. If you don't have anything, though, it can be hard to break into trading. It seems like your only options are to pay through the nose for a CD boot that you can then make cassette copies of, or send traders all sorts of money for them to make cassette copies of their tapes. Once upon a time, I was a member of the Indigo Girls mailing list. They are -very- good about helping newbies get bootleg tapes. Amy and Emily, the Indigo Girls, have said that they don't care about folks trading boots as long as there's no profit made. The IG list took that to heart, and they did a whole lot to help folks get started out. They're where I got my bootleg collection going. I've kept their philosophy of not making a profit off of bootlegs. So, here's my offer. I have some spare time this month, and I have some extra good karma lying around that needs a new home. If you're a newbie, check out my complete bootlist at: http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Underground/7536/ If you find something you're interested in, email me and we'll set up a newbie trade. I offer newbies three options: 1) Send me one tape for each one you want, plus a self-addressed stamped padded mailer. If you choose this one, I will walk you through the process. 2) Send me two tapes for each one you want, no return postage. The second tape reimburses me for the postage that I'll pay to get the tapes back to you. 3) Send me $5 (money order, please!) per tape. I buy everything, make your copies, and ship them off. I do make a slight profit on #3. I keep track of everything I spend on newbie trades, and at the end of the year, I send a cheque off in that amount to RAINN. I didn't do anything to make this music, and I refuse to keep the profits. I don't even take the tax write-off for the RAINN cheque. I don't particularly care which option you choose. They're all about the same on my end. #1 is slightly easier, since I can just hand the package to my postman or drop it in my secretary's outbox, but I go to the post office about every other day anyway, so it's not that big of a difference. This offer isn't limited to my Tori collection. I also have boots of Cowboy Junkies, Indigo Girls, R.E.M, and a few others. This offer -is- limited to five tapes per person. I'd like to help out as many folks as I can. Also, you must have your tapes/payment to me by 25 November 1998. November is a bunch of downtime for me, but December is definitely not. I have finals, projects, and work hell that month, not to mention the holidays. If I receive your tapes/payment after 25 November 1998, you will not get your tapes until after the New Year. One thing: I've extended this offer to the Tori-boot mailing list as well as rec.music.tori-amos. Several people have taken me up on this, and some of those folks have said that they'd like to repay me somehow. But, as I've repeatedly said, I'm completely against making a profit on bootlegs. If you feel you simply must do something, send a donation to RAINN or your local rape crisis center or women's shelter, provide a helping hand to the homeless this holiday season, or just smile at everyone for a day {even your idiotic boss who should be strung up by his genitalia ;) }. Spread the good karma. I got a bunch from the Indigo Girls mailing list, and I'm shipping it out to you. Don't give it back. :) {Wow, that sounded pretty cheesy, didn't it? Remove the Velveeta, find the sentiment there, and have at it.} I am definitely accepting trades as well! I have a whole lot of nifty material {including a bunch of first generation boots of Tori's earlier Canadian appearances}, and there's a whole lot out there that I'd love to get. I can do cassette and CD trades, but no video. I will also be able to do DAT in the very near future {but only for a short time: I'm borrowing a friend's DAT while he's in Europe}. Cassette and CDs are on my page, email me for my (very short) DAT list. If you have any questions, feel free to email me. :) /nad {One note: I do not do newbie trades for CDs. I'm a computer geek, both in school and at work. Computer time is always at a premium. Right now, I need my computer time for me.

Hi. We can't shut off this type of discussion because, in all honesty, it would inhibit a lot of personal imagination and the list would be damn boring. I don't have a problem with this and most people don't either. Yes, the songs mean something different to everyone but because we're here to discuss Tori - - why not try to disect her songs? Some people give very enlightening interpretations which allow us to take or throw away whatever they give us. It's like poetry . . . in an english class, people discuss the meanings of the poems . . . who knows if they're right?

"Tori Amos: The Complete Collection: 1992-1998" will contain 16 clips from the artist's four Atlantic albums. Included are both classics -- such as "Silent All These Years," "God," and "Caught A Lite Sneeze" -- as well as videos hitherto aired only in Europe, like the stark black-and-while "Cornflake Girl" and slyly inventive "Professional Widow." The package will also be bundled with a four-track single for "Cruel/Raspberry Swirl," which contains alternate versions of the two songs, plus the track "Spark." "Cruel/Raspberry Swirl" will be released to stores Nov. 24. In addition, Amos was honored Nov. 11 by "Glamour" magazine as one of 1998's ten Women of the Year, as voted by the publication.

The tour has supported from the choirgirl hotel, Amos' fourth full-length album. The album enjoyed a strong debut but brief stay on the charts and spawned a tour that has seen Amos work a full amphitheatre run in the spring and summer and jump directly into her current secondary market / college itinerary. One unique aspect of the tour has been the fund and awareness campaign established by Amos and her manager to support the RAINN organization, a network of domestic and sexual crisis centers co-founded by Amos in 1994. Throughout the U.S. arena leg of the tour, Amos has set aside two pairs of premium seats from each show to be auctioned online to raise money for RAINN. The winners of the auctions also receive a brief meeting with Amos before or after the show (the photo used for this story shows Amos with the auction winners at her Washington, DC concert). ''This is the biggest concert tour Tori's ever done, and we wanted to do something really special for RAINN,'' said Amos' manager, Arthur Spivak, near the beginning of the tour. The tour has, in fact, been Amos' first arena tour as well as the first tour to use a full backing band. A brief theatre tour in April preceded the May release of choirgirl, giving Amos' fans the opportunity to ease into the idea of having a full rock 'n roll band on stage. The remaining three weeks' worth of dates concentrate on the Northeast corner of the country before winding up in Michigan on December 3rd. Online auctions for the final dates of the tour are still available for bidding. On November 17th, Atlantic Records will release a comprehensive collection of Amos' videos entitled Tori Amos: The Complete Video Collection 1991-98. The sixteen-song release will reportedly include two separate versions of videos issued for Amos' alt-rock radio hit Cornflake Girl -- a color version that was released in the U.S. and a black-and-white version released in England. sabrina ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 13 Nov 1998 19:21:33 PST From: "climbing forever" Subject: Rochester 11/12/98 all right...setlist precious things little earthquakes iieee PAST THE MISSION caught a lite sneeze BELLS FOR HER famous blue raincoat (solo) winter (solo) northern lad god hotel the waitress TALULA raspberry swirl spark GRAVEYARD (solo) tear in your hand wow...the first encore lifted directly from my dream setlist...cool anyways..unbelievable truth's set was higher than reason finest little space same mistakes solved who's to know? ciao my shining star landslide from this height building I was really anxious all day for this show...two of my favorite artists performing at one show...it was almost too much...the day went by rather slow, but finally it was time to leave...me, my friends Jessie, Ben, Sarah, and her friend Sara arrived at the Eastman Theater at 7:45, a little late since the show started at 8...whoops...I saw Joey Guisto (assistand PD at the WBER, the local radio station I volunteer at) and he told me that he could get me and one other person back stage to meet Unbelievable Truth between sets...that got me VERY excited..so i went in to the building, bought a UT shirt for me and my friend Brent, who couldnt make it to the show because hes at school in Postdam (5 hours away or so) and had no way to get to the show :( I got the new shirt with the film strips on the front and all the dates on the back too, but now that I think of it, I don't think I'm going to wear it much at all...so I'm looking to sell it for $25 (what i paid for it at the show) plus $2 shipping...ive never even had it on, but it was one of those things where I bought it because it was there and I had money on me, but now im really thinking I should not have spend the money on it, especially since I paid almost $40 for a shirt at the last tori show I went to, so...if anyones interested in it, ill sell it to the first person who emails me.. anyways, so one guy searches my bookbag at the door (which contained my FTCH cd, my Unbelievable Truth cds, some paper to keep track of the setlists and some pens), then the guy who took my ticket wanted to search it too and I was like no it was just searched and he was like oh ok...so i go in and take my seat..row d..very good seats :) and this time I was on the right side (both times ive seen Tori before ive been on the left)..not even 5 minutes after I sit down Unbelievable Truth come on, and were everything I was hoping for and more...simply amazing...ive been waiting months for this show, and it was finally happening...so they play for what seemed like a VERY short time, then I rush off to find Joey to meet them, which I wont get into as more than likely not too many people are going to want to hear me go on and on about unbelievable truth for pages and pages, so well skip that 30 minutes, which were simply some of the most amazing 30 minutes ive ever lived...so I say goodbye to unbelievable truth, thank joey, then go upstairs to see Tori...I thought she had already started before I got upstairs, but luckilly she hadnt...the lights go off and she comes on Precious Things - spectacular...this is the first thing I think of when I think of the Plugged 98 tour...I was listening to the album version a few days ago, and it just wasnt working...it seemed to be missing something...she lifed her apron for the crotch grab Little Earthquakes - OK dont get me wrong, but I really was hoping not to hear this...I mean, its a great song, but I have heard it both other times Ive seen her and would have liked something different...but it was still very beautiful..I thought it was honey at first... iieee - again, spectacular...not much more can be said about this song that hasnt already Past the Mission - she introduced the band before this, while people were fixing her Bose...Tori said she thought she had gotten fixed today, but she suspected that "she got out of surgery early" or something along those lines...then, she goes "how long do you need 3 minutes? Ill sing a little song then" and shes about to start an improv im assuming, but the guys say theyre done and leave, and she goes, oh ok then, and starts the opening to this...this was one of the two band songs I was realllly hoping to hear..during the second verse, she "fucked up" and started again...all 4 of them were giggling through the whole thing, which is what fucked her up in the first place I think it was...the second time, she changed the first line to " I dont believe Im doing this again" or something like that...hadnt heard it with the band before...amazing...1st highlight Caught A Lite Sneeze - seemed different than the version she played in August, but it was very good..again, I would have liked to hear something different, but I cant complain BELLS FOR HER - THE Tori highlight of the night for me...I had no idea what she was going to play next as the band started this one...then she stared " and through the life force and there goes her friend"...I was literally in awe..this was the other band song I was really hoping for, and she played both almost back to back!..I sat in my seat with my mouth hanging wide open as I soaked this one in...it was fucking beautiful...words cannot describe this one Famous Blue Raincoat (solo) - I knew nothing short of Yes, Anastasia could top Bells For Her (its one of the solos I really wanted to here, but since she just debuted it 2 shows ago, I figured I wouldnt get to hear it)..Ive only heard this one a few times, so I wasnt quite sure what it was...she played something that sounded like Winter before it, and I was glad it wasnt Winter, because it just isnt one of my favorites...its good, but it just doesnt do much for me...but this one was nice to hear...she said she hadnt played it in a while Winter (solo) - yikes...I dunno...it just doesn't do anything for me...I never seem to have much luck during solo time as to what I want to hear...oh well...I was still trying to recover from Bells for Her (I still am I suppose) Northern Lad - another one I wish wasnt played...she came out of secret time with this one last time too...its good, but.... God - finally! she didnt play it last time, and I really wanted to hear it....and it was played! You dropped the Bible on me Jesus and all :) Hotel - this was amazing...it wasnt one I went into the show hoping I would hear, but im really really glad it was played The Waitress - the other thing I think of when I think plugged 98...its amazing what she's done to this song Talula - I couldnt believe it...the first song of the first encore, and the same as on my dream list...I didnt recognize it at all until she started singing...it was wonderful Raspberry Swirl - the second half of my encore too! I enjoyed this one immensly...very fun, although I miss Matt's antennae Spark - blech...the only song I really didn't enjoy...its a great song, but..im just a little sick of it Graveyard (solo) - incredible..I was really hoping for this one too...it seemed to go on for a while too...beautiful Tear In Your Hand - the perfect ending...while Horses worked well in Canandaigua, this worked even better...amazing well, umm..thats about it...Bells for Her alone was more than worth the price of the ticket :) take care james ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ End of precious-things-digest V3 #396 *************************************
