I've also got a new poll going. Also look out for new digital art. Check it out at http://www.geocities.com/sarahvox/toriThanks. *************** http://www.geocities.com/sarahvox ICQ: 131558324 "I was reading about what was going on in Afghanistan--the way women were being oppressed, the destruction of religious statues. And when I heard that song, I just imagined a huge juicy vagina coming out of the sky, raining blood over all those racist, misogynist fuckers." [Tori Amos; Spin Magazine, Oct 2001] ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 29 Nov 2001 00:22:10 -0000 From: "Pete Lambert" Subject: TA:GHV1 Well OK first we need a better title to tell the Men from Atlantic to use. Hmmm. "Nothing I Do Is Good Enough for You" might be Tori's choice for them :-) but they'll probably call it "It's gotta be big" and totally miss the irony... Actually I bet we'll get a bonus disc of remixes to try to tie in with the success of the Professional Widow remix (her only UK (even worldwide?) mainstream singles sales chart #1). Anyway here's my "fantasy" hits-list, *if* it were UK based, and if anyone at Atlantic/East West gave a monkeys, I'd think they'd put the following on, based on chart placing and awareness that people seem to have of her here: >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 1 - Me and a Gun (only #51 I think but it certainly got her noticed. Stunning opener too (she started with it at the London concert in 99)) 2 - Winter (top 30 but got lots of airplay - lots of people who only like tori a bit like this a lot) 3 - Crucify (top 20 - lots of coverage, I think her first live UK TV on "Wogan"?) 4 - Silent All These Years (top 30 on 2nd release) 5 - Cornflake Girl (#3 - remember when they promoted singles?) 6 - Pretty Good Year (#7 - ditto) 7 - Past The Mission (top 30 - maybe the live version?) 8 - Caught A Lite Sneeze (top 20) 9 - Talula (tornado) (top 30) 10 - Hey Jupiter (dakota) (top 30 when double A sided with Pro Widow Remix) 11 - Professional Widow (star trunk) (#1 when re released and played to death in UK clubs through 98) 12 - Spark (top 20) 13 - Raspberry Swirl (bet they forget that they never released it) 14 - Strange Little Girl (as if they'll ever get round to releasing it, i know...) [FWIW China, God and Glory didnt make the top 40, and Jackie, Bliss and 1000 Oceans were all rumoured or announced as singles but never released; "Blue Skies" with BT got to number 20-something over here but I doubt anyone at Atlantic/East-West will even remember that she did it.] > **Question 2. - What WON'T make the cut but you wish would? Oooh, Graveyard! Graveyard! pete x x x ## If nothing else works, then a total pig-headed unwillingness to look facts in the face will see us through. ## - Lord Melchett ------------------------------ End of precious-things-digest V6 #235 *************************************
