I'm coming out of my shell long enough (while in Oklahoma for just ONE MORE WEEK, more or less..) to ask this: Tori is making a new album.. so that, hopefully, means a new tour. She's gone solo (her and her piano), she's gone with a band, what next? What would YOU guys like to see happen with the new tour? special effects? magic trickery? more Tori-audience interaction (example: Tori brings someone up onstage for a song or something like that)? What would YOU like to see happen? - -- Cyndi S. Crawford ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 28 Jun 2002 06:18:05 EDT From: JNe9027355@aol.com Subject: does tori wear glasses?

To me, there are some of her songs that i like better when she plays them with her band (sugar, precious things-although PT sounds great solo too) and there are some of her songs that sound better solo. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 28 Jun 2002 13:22:50 -0500 From: "Nadyne Mielke" Subject: Re: Tori Add-On cyndi.crawford@juno.com said: > Tori is making a new album.. so that, hopefully, > means a new tour.

I would love to see Tori tour with an orchestra, or even just a group of strings. Just imagine 'Yes Anastasia' with strings ... *drool* /nm ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 28 Jun 2002 09:42:36 -0700 From: Brian K Tanaka Subject: Re: does tori wear glasses?

When she gets lost during Hey Jupiter she looks through the book for the next verse and mutters, "I should really have some glasses".

She's just finished putting the 60-piece strings on the album, is really excited and happy and up, and asked me please not to say anything publically until I'd heard something closer to what the finished CD is going to be like, with all the instrumentation on all the songs (as what I have on the skeletal CD she gave me is pretty much just piano, and some guitar, bass and drums). Also several songs on the version of the CD I've heard are in the process of moving to another place, and a couple of songs that were going to be in another place have moved onto the CD (including one song I loved when I heard it in Florida). I told her it would drive people waiting for news nuts (she said to give everyone her love, I forgot that bit), but I really do understand: she was one of the people I sent American Gods to in rough draft, a chapter at a time, while I was writing it, and I would have frozen and worried if anyone had started talking about it publically before the manuscript was at a point I was comfortable with, no matter how nice the things they were going to say. So I'll wait a few weeks until the somewhat more finished CD arrives.... I'll say I'm thrilled and excited, though. And I'll say that it'll be a long time until October. (and later) Lots of FAQ queries asking if I was the song I was talking about in the last post was "Snow Cherries From France". Nope -- as far as I know that's still unrecorded. I was thinking of another song, one that, for a good while there, wasn't going to make it onto the album (I'll tell you which one, once the title and the tracks have been officially released.) - -- "This country has a deep fear and mistrust of strong, smart, accomplished, outspoken women unless they are sexy 22-year-olds killing vampires on television." -- Dennis Miller _._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._ music reviews + stories + poetry + photography + collage + Watchers livejournal + selkies + esoterica + links = http://echoes.devin.com ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 28 Jun 2002 23:49:00 -0400 (EDT) From: Richard Handal Subject: Tori on BBC2 radio Saturday evening Greetings, Gang: I haven't seen much made of this on the lists, and although it could turn out to be just one more nothing that some of us hoped could have been something, I'm hoping some folks can get quality recordings of this to circulate. As one can listen online and not only on the radio in the U.K., maybe that can happen. Unless I'm quite mistaken, the program time translates to 3-4pm here on the East Coast of the U.S. http://www.bbc.co.uk/cgi-perl/whatson/prog_parse.cgi?FILENAME=20020629/20020629_2000_49698_20783_60 She Bop Sat 29 Jun, 20:00 - 21:00 60 mins Toyah Wilcox presents the second in a two part series about the issues facing women in the music industry. Female artists from a wide spectrum of both musical style and vintage, from Mary Wilson of the Supremes in the early sixties to modern singer-songwriter Tori Amos, offer their opinions and talk about their experiences. The series features contributions from Dionne Warwick, Suzi Quatro, Gina Birch of The Raincoats, Grace Slick of Jefferson Airplane and Debbie Harry of Blondie. 'Goodbye tits and ass, hello Rock n Roll,' Chrissie Hynde wrote about Suzi Quatro in the NME in 1974 believing a new era had dawned for women in Rock. But can females ever be viewed as musicians first and women later? Or is their only route to success in a male dominated industry to slot into saleable images of the cute babe and sexy chanteuse? Can stardom be reconciled with motherhood? How tyrannised are women by the image makers and the cleavage question? Are admissions of homosexuality more damaging to female artists than male? Are women overcoming sexism behind the scenes in the industry as managers and executives? Are women accepted as instrumentalists as well as singers? Toyah Wilcox seeks answers to these questions and also shares her personal experience of the early eighties, when Rock was feeling the seismic effect of the Punk revolution and she had several big hits.
