Subject: fanscape newsring

i just noticed on the dent's main news page that fanscape's newsring 
thingie is back. for those who do not know, it's an webpage that lives on 
fanscape's server which you integrate into your own tori site via a 
<ilayer> or <iframe> tag.

hmmmm. now that i read yesterday's street team newsletter a second time 
(or, more accurately, read it for the first time instead of just skimming 
it!), i see it was announced already.

anyways, you can go always directly to the newsring page at

http://www2.fanscape.com/toriamos/newsring2/newsringbody.html

currently, they have windows media, realaudio and quicktime streams of the 
full album version of "a sorta fairytale" (the realaudio and high bitrate 
windowsmedia streams sound quite nice).

from that last street team newsletter, there is information for adding the 
newsring to your site and entering your site in a contest to be listed at 
toriamos.com and the dent at

http://www2.fanscape.com/toriamos/fansitetools.html

Subject: women 2 watch transcript

here's a transcript of the program women 2 watch, during which tori sat in 
and guest hosted with abby gennet. the "a sorta fairytale" video was NOT 
show (boo!).

Women 2 Watch
MTV2
Hosted by Abby Gennet and Tori Amos

Abby: This is Women 2 Watch with our very special guest, Ms. Tori Amos, who 
has a new album out called Scaerlet's Walk which is out October 29th. Now, 
what were some of your inspirations for this album?

Tori: Well, this album's a story and it's about a woman taking a road trip. 
So, she's working her way from the west coast to the east coast slowly and 
she meets people who make her question waht she believes in and has her 
asking, um, you know, who is America and where is her soul?

A: Ohhh, I heard a rumor that this woman might be a porn star...is that true?

T: No, she goes to visit her friend who's a porn star.

A: Oh, ok. There was some kind of porn star happening in it...

T: There's always a porn star somewhere in my life...

A: Well, this half hour taking a look at women we should be watching this 
year, that are going to hit it big. We're going to see one from Avril 
Lavigne who's very young. Now, what kind of advice would you give a girl 
who's just starting out in the music industry.

T: Well, not knowing her myself, but just.... I've been given some pretty 
good advice along the way and somebody said to me once that you can be 
radical in your content and still respect people on your way up, and that 
stayed with me.

A: Well, that's good. That's good advice. Avril, if you're watching, take 
notes. Alright, we're going to see one from _Let Go Now_, it's called 
"Sk8er Boi".

[Avril Lavigne - "Sk8er Boi" video]

[Layma - "Empires" video]

[Commercial break]

A: We're taking a look at women to watch with Tori Amos. Now, Tori, you're 
such a huge influence on some many female artists -- and male artists. I 
know my brother is a huge fan of yours. So, how's it feel when people 
approach you and, like, tell you what an inspiration you are to them?

T: Well, it feels wonderful. You want to hold a space for people. Me 
becoming a mom has made me want to, I don't know, pass the torch and be 
supportive to other people.

A: That's good.

T: Feels good.

A: Yeah, it should. We're about to see one from Floetry now. Have you heard 
- -- have you seen this video?

T: I have seen this video.

A: OK

T: I love the relationship between these two women. I think sometimes, um, 
the compativeness between women can be...it's really sad.

A: Yeah, they get catty.

T: Yeah...they can. We can! And to see these two women work, it's inspiring.

A: Yeah, it's cool. And they have their own little genre going around. They 
throw some, like, hip-hop and some reggae and some other kind of vintage 
pop or something in there. Plus, their poetry. Right? Let's check it out. 
 From Floetry, it's "Floetic".

[Floetry "Floetic" video]

[Commercial break]

[Norah Jones "Don't Know Why" video]

A: That was Norah Jones, a woman we think you should be keeping an eye on 
this year. Now, Norah faced a lot of difficulties at the beginning since 
she felt she had to defend herself against people that maybe thought she 
was just another pretty face or that maybe she was riding the coattails of 
her father, who is Ravi Shankar. So, what kind of challenges did you face 
when you were starting out?

T: I think the trickiest time was after you have a successful record and 
you're making the next one. Everybody gets a little paranoid and it's so 
importnat not to get drawn into that, because then you forget how to be a 
pioneer and that's what got you where you are in the first place, 
especially if you're a good songwriter.

A: So it's almost like you're doing it for the audience now and it's not 
like the fiorst one was for you.

T: Well, you've got to...you still have to be true to the muse because the 
audience, let's face it, they are hoping you know what you're doing.

A: Yeah, and they're tough.

T: Well, I don't make a record, um, by committe. I can't do that. I have to 
stay true to the music and um... Everybody has an opinion and if i listen 
to everybody, the record's would never get finished.

A: Listen to what's in here [points at her heart]

T: And you have to make it different everytime, you know, you don't make 
love twice the same way.

A: No, never! Listen to that girls! Pay attention! And make sure you check 
out Scarlet's Walk which is coming out October 29th and you will be going 
on tour, also, this fall. Will you be bringing baby with you?

T: She's coming. Um, with our Harry Potter broomsticks...

A: Nice!

T: I think that we have a whole group of people coming, we're very excited.

A: I'm looking forward to it and seeing if you do any Zeppelin covers, I 
love when you do those.

T: There's always one! There's always one in the back pocket.

A: Alright, well, thank you for coming and it was great hanging. Thank you 
guys for watching. We'll see you soon.

Subject: a sorta fairytale

ok, since everyone else has shared their feelings on this song i thought i
would share mine. :)

i didn't have much  of an impression at first from everyone else's opinion and
since i have a dial-up connection for my modem listening to the song on-line
was out of the question. i tried it with slg and was rather dissapointed with
what i could hear. i do like the song and the album but i will never try
listening on-line again. anyway, so i read the synopsis that ForgottenSecret
so kindly posted and it caused a familiar twinge, but without the song that's
all that i got. i finally heard the song on the radio on my way to work
yesterday. wow. it does have kind of a pop-y sound to it, but it is definately
Tori. i listened to the lyrics and ignored the music. as i already knew some
of the lyrics from them being posted it wasn't hard to listen and drive at the
same time. however when the ''story line'' of the song hit a little close to
home, it was rather hard to drive and not cry at the same time. it describes
very closely a previous relationship of mine. it ended almost three years ago,
but i only recently got over it. i was holding on to some hope of a reuion
that would never come, but i hoped would. while in the relationship it seemed
like the best thing that ever happened to me, but in the end it was only 'a
sorta fairytale'.

well, i just thought i would share :) ~lavenderspark

Subject: radio city

so...during the alice 97.3 interview, tori mentioned that they were 
"working around the rockettes and the nutcracker" when answering a question 
about tour dates. i take this to be a reference to the christmas show at 
radio city music hall in new york city. if this means she is playing radio 
city in nyc, she'll have to play a night which doesn't conflict with the 
christmas show...which limits her options somewhat. specifically, the free 
evenings at radio city during november, after the 7th, are:

friday, november 8
monday, november 11
tuesday, november 12   *
wednesday, november 13 *
monday, november 18
tuesday, november 19   *
wednesday, november 20 *
monday, november 25
tuesday, november 26   *

the days marked with an asterisk have christmas show matinees, so those are 
pretty unlikely candidates since that would mess with setup and soundchecks.

she's confirmed that she'll be in toronto on november 22 and the rumor is 
that the tour starts in florida (one guy on the forum has said that there 
is an almost-confirmed show in tampa on the 7th). so, if she is playing 
radio city -- which is just speculation on my part, that makes either the 
18th or the 25th the most likely candidates -- and i'd guess that the 18th 
is more likely.

we now return you to your regularly scheduled silence. ;)

Subject: radio appearances

is it just me or does anyone else think it rather strange that tori did not 
do any radio appearances in either new york or boston when she did the 
industry showcases is those cities? you'd think there would be ample 
opportunity -- she's been on wfnx in boston and on wlir in new york before 
- -- and "a sorta fairytale" has been played on wlir. any regular listeners 
to either station (or other stations) in those cities?

just seems very odd...then again, maybe she was busy doing interviews and 
taping the host spot on mtv's women 2 watch program while in nyc....
