I just went back to alanisandtori.com and looked at the "sweepstakes" page... http://alanisandtori.com/home_sweepstakes.html The daily prizes (meaning the draw one name each day) is a pair of reserved tickets to any concert. There is a weekly prize of front row tickets that comes with a tshirt and cd and a 1st prize which is a rio mp3 player and some other stuff.. and the grand prize of the lease on a 2000 Volkswagen... so I think the contest winners are legit... :) HTH. - -- ^_~Megasus~_^ http://members.xoom.com/Megasus/ ICQ# 14241089 "Just when you escape, you have yourself to fear.." -Tori Amos ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 12 Aug 1999 08:07:31 -0700 (PDT) From: Jennifer Mitts Cypres Subject: Tori on VH-1-- NEW!

When I searched for it I found a quite interesting piece. It reminded me very much of the miscarriage theme of spark... Psalm 58 Against Unjust Judges 1 For the leader. (Do not destroy!) A miktam of David. 2 Do you indeed like gods pronounce justice and judge fairly, you men of rank? 3 Nay, you willingly commit crimes; on earth you look to the fruits of extortion. 4 From the womb the wicked are perverted; astray from birth have the liars gone. 5 Theirs is poison like a serpent`s, like that of a stubborn snake that stops its ears, 6 That it may not hear the voice of enchanters casting cunning spells. 7 O God, smash their teeth in their mouths; the jaw-teeth of the lions, break, O LORD! 8 Let them vanish like water flowing off; when they draw the bow, let their arrows be headless shafts. 9 Let them dissolve like amelting snail, like an untimely birth that never sees the sun. 10 Unexpectedly, like a thorn-bush, or like thistles, let the whirlwind carry them away. 11 The just man shall be glad when he sees vengeance; he shall bathe his feet in the blood of the wicked. 12 And men shall say, "Truly there is a reward for the just; truly there is a God who is judge on earth!" I don`t know about the 6 really, but the rest sounds quite "sparky" to me. What do you guys think of it? Some more or less interesting news at last: I`ve heard of a new novel by a german writer called Bianca Döring. It`s called "Hallo Mr. Zebra" ! (don`t have to translate that, right? ;) ) I think I´ll read it and then tell you if it has something to do with our godess. ~~stay beautiful~ Anna ~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* "For the final consummation and for me to feel less lonely, my last wish was that there should be a crowd of spectators at my execution and that they should greet me with cries of hatred."

I saw them talking about the Monday 8:00 live internet broadcast of her rehearsing for the new tour. They showed clips of the Bliss video. Tori was very cute, sneaking out at the end, literally stepping in front of Carson. I obviously missed something though.

I watch and taped the TRL and I saw Tori but no video, only a clip of the video. Was it just me or did Tori seem a little different. I mean she was beautiful and everything, but I thought she seemed a bit upset or something, but maybe I am just reading too far into the picture, just my thoughts.

At MTV's Tori-site you can ask her a question and vote for a song, the results of which will be passed to her before Monday Nite's web-performance (hopefully encouraging her to bring one of the special girls out). While MTV *was* hip enough to include 'Merman' in their little pulldown menu, i want to BEG you ALL to PLEASE WRITE IN A VOTE FOR "Snow Cherries >From France" (or is it "in" France?), since our chances to ever hear it are starting to look grim. I realize we all have favorite Tori songs, but this is *Tori's* favourite from _ftch_, and i think it would be nice to let her know that we are very interested to hear it.

Exactly my thoughts. It just appeared to me that it was just the last place she wanted to be (i.e., how she high-tailed it to the EWF asap); I don't think she seeemed out of it at all. Just didn't want to be there... I don't blame her...too much backstreet boys mania going on over there for me. ;o) Love and Sparkles, Kristy (\o/) "Sometimes you just have to roast marshmallows over your own fire..." ¤Tori Amos¤ §Visit my Tori Amos website, at http://fly.to/behindmyeyes§ *Take part in Project 5 1/2 Weeks, find all of the info you need at http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Diner/9269 ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 12 Aug 1999 21:09:47 -0400 From: krisis@erols.com Subject: Bliss TAB, Newark Audio, & speculation I took a [good] stab at tabbing out Bliss for guitar the night it got onto the net, but haven't gotten around to posting this until now. It can be found at my web site http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/4755/guitar/ or by simply typing http:/fly.to/AMkitchen/ and clicking the guitar-tab link. I am open to any corrections you have to make. I also have the tab for some other Tori songs; if you really want the tab for a song, please feel free to request it. Also, i have some rarities that Tori did at the Newark show of the plugged tour here: http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/4755/tori.html . This page cannot be linked to from anywhere else on the site. The songs are Yes Anastasia, Mary (w.band), Merman, and Beauty Queen (the only performance from the plugged tour). BTW, i was just having some thoughts on why Tori is releasing *those* live beesides on the Bliss single. Two thoughts, actually: 1) Tori had so much trouble deciding what tracks to use on the album that she plans to release as many of the unused ones as she can. 2) The entire album are songs with the band, and all of the singles will be secret time songs. I think the latter choice makes sense, since the album will more likely represent her work with the band. If this is correct, i applaud the decision, as it seems to make sense to me. (however, if i don't hear Snow Cherries by this time next year i may have to resort to more pro-active measures) Krisis http://fly.to/AMkitchen/ ps: please look around the rest of my site, i have toiled long and hard on it. pps: are there any EWF that attend/will-be-attending Drexel University? I've found two others of us so far (: ------------------------------ End of precious-things-digest V4 #237 *************************************
