What's the difference? Anybody know? >Different b-sides perhaps? I don't know what to >order. This question is readily answered on the Dent! ;) The 5.49 is a CD5 Maxi-single that will have live versions of Hey Jupiter and Upside Down as B-sides. The cheaper one only has Hey Jupiter live.

I find songs filed under the name > Myra Ellen Amos!!!!!!! When I first subbed to RDT in November of 1993, I ftped the archives listowner Anthony Kosky kept, and among them were those complete copyright database listings from LC which Will of the informational database company Dialog had gotten and posted to the list over the previous months. So, I know it must be exciting to folks who never heard about these songs before, but it isn't exactly news to a number of us. It's all the songs she was writing and sending out as demos trying to get a contract, as described in the official bio, Tori Amos : All These Years. Also, a little closer reading of those listings is called for, Reece. Been One (Nancy Sharks, Tori Amos) Been Two (Nancy Sharks, Tori Amos) Halloween Beene (Nancy Sharks, Tori Amos) Those are not song titles, but titles of the *collections* of songs copyrighted together under unified collection titles. And it's Nancy Shanks, not Sharks. Nancy Shanks is Beenie, BTW. See the connection: Been, Beene, Beenie? Interesting, huh? As to any of these songs ending up as b-sides, interviews have shown that Tori has recorded many songs for recent albums such as Pele which haven't seen light of day, and now we hear that To Venus and Back will contain new songs which she wrote quite recently. I seem to recall somewhere seeing an interview which said 35 songs were recorded just in the Pele sessions! With her passing over so many of *those* songs for release from as recently as the Pele era, I think it's entirely safe to say that she's unlikely to dig back to the mid-eighties for material to release as b-sides. They certainly wouldn't reflect "the present" for her, which is something she clearly wants to have in her current releases. In fact, I asked her last year if she had plans to release one of those more recent songs, and she immediately and emphatically said, "No." Even seemed kinda irked at the question. ;-) However, Brad Cobb was a co-composer of Looking for Eldorado, and I understand we *may* end up hearing a new recording *he* wants to make of this song. There's a link on The Dent about Brad's experiences as the bass player in YKTR: http://members.aye.net/~mikewhy/yktr1.html.

I told her "but i'm not making profit off these, in fact >i'm selling for less than i paid" (I refuse to pass on those extra >ticketmonster charges). She said, "it doesn't matter, if you sell them for >face value, or ten dollars, it's still illegal". depending on where you were at the time, she may or may not have been telling the truth since, in the united states, the legality of reselling tickets is determined at the state level. for instance, in new jersey, it *is legal* to resell tickets, but there are restrictions on how much mark-up you can charge and so forth. furthermore, these laws primarily apply to ticket agencies whose business is the reselling of tickets. individuals who are reselling tickets for mundane reasons (like having an extra tickets since someone bailed on you) are, for the most part, free to do what they want. >Your best bet is to try and sell the pair you have to someone online before >the show, imho. this is excellent advice. while you can certainly might be able to unload an extra ticket out in front of a venue before a show, you have a good chance of connecting with someone who will buy your extra tickets through a tori mailing list or website. if all else fails, you can always try selling it before the show. woj ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 09 Aug 1999 17:50:06 +0100 From: "E.L Walker" Subject: Tori T-Shirts Just wondering if anyone knows where to get Tori T-Shirts from on the net, the only ones I can find at such places as CDnow, seem to be the size of a nighty and would come down to my knees.

Okay, weird topic I know, and I hope I don't offend anyone by bringing this up because it is SO sensitive. But I haven't watched my Tori in NY concert tape in a long time, so today I put it in, and during Little Amsterdam, Tori says: Go on, little girl. That's right. Beenie. Tori. Go on. Say a word to the upstairs baby boy [could she mean Jesus?]. Go on little girl. That's right. Phoebe. Say a word to the Hangman for me. Baby. A shot in the dark, but do you think Tori was going to name her baby Phoebe? The concert's date is 1/23/97. She lost her baby in December, right? I think that's right. Which is also why I still don't get naming the other song January Girl. So do you think Tori would prefer chocolate or yellow or white or strawberry birthday cake? - -jen === I look for the good in everything.

I've been working on a website devoted to the symbolism behind Tori's lyrics. When I was researching the number "3", I found this reference: "The three sacred sounds: the A, the M and the N*, and the three sacred currents: the sacred current of the life, the sacred current of the sound and the sacred current of the light." *We found it interesting that with the small addition of the letter "E", this spells AMEN. If you listen closely, it really does sound like she says "taught me so well, how to spell those red "N, M and A". Anyway, I think it fits perfectly, and until Tori tells me differently, I'm keeping it. :-) So, I guess this is as good a time as any to introduce my new Website. Found lots of other goodies like this and would love to share.

Hi All... I've noticed that everyone seems to be getting really good tickets and seats and things for these shows, I am fairly new to this, so I was wondering if you guys could offer and tips or tricks that you know of to get GOOD seats..

I'm looking to buy for the houston show on 30 september, onsale 21 august.. Maybe i'll see some of you there!! thank you very much in advance Amy p.s. if there are only a few people ahead of me, do you think it would be a good idea to ask them if, when tickets go onsale (i plan on being there at least an hour early to ENSURE that i am first at the window) they would consider letting me buy the three or four tickets i need with theirs, so we can have the same chance they do of getting good seats.. this is reall important to me, all help is appreciated, but i think i already said that... __________________________________*__________________________________ * birds fly over the rainbow....why....oh, why can't i? - Tori Amos Somewhere Over the Rainbow * one day, i am going to grow wings, a chemical reaction, hysterical and useless, hysterical and.... - Radiohead , Let Down __________________________________*__________________________________ _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web.
