This isn't to say you shouldn't get them -- the bee-sides for most of them are fabulous. For the God single {as well as Winter, Cornflake Girl, Caught a Lite Sneeze, Talula, and a couple of others I'm sure I'm forgetting}, you shouldn't pay more than around five bucks new. Here's the easiest way to tell if you've found a rare single: look around. If you're in a Best Buy, Circuit City, Border's, Barnes and Noble, or any other chain store, you don't have a rarity in your hands. /nad ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 28 Jun 1999 23:09:44 -0500 From: Nadyne Mielke Subject: Re: God or Girl?

PT was going to be a single, and there was a - -gorgeous- picture disc promo released of it. Atlantic then pulled PT as a single, and only a few of that promo got out. There is no commercial PT single.

The UK God single has three remixes of "God", the 12" has three different remixes of God, and the 7" has one remix of God that's found on the 12". {There's also a cassingle, its track listing is the same as the 7".} /nad ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 29 Jun 1999 07:20:56 -0400 (EDT) From: "Lori A Near" Subject: Re: God or Girl? > Just to clear this up, there is/has never been a Girl single, unfortunately > =) The 4 songs made into singles from Little Earthquakes are Crucify, SIlent > All These Years, China, and Me and a Gun.

Yeah, RAINN doesn't seem to get a lot of publicity, but they are mentioned in the "Action Guide" that came with the free CD from MTV, and I also saw a RAINN promo on MTV a couple of weeks ago, starring Tori herself.

I've seen those commercials quite a few times (there's a whole series of them), but I never really made that connection before. Now that I think about it, it is kind of a strange cooincidence. But those commercials are certainly better than the ones with those stupid Jukka brothers. In a completely unrelated note, I was listening to Dark Side of the Moon the other day, and I noticed this line in the song "Breathe": "Run, Rabbit, run, dig that hole..." I'm sure this Rabbit is probably not related to Tori's Rabbit, but I did think it was interesting that they both use Rabbit as a name in a song.
