I *completely randomly* came across this > show on a Chicago Cable Access station last night. I believe I saw this around mid-October, a couple of weeks after Tori played the Arie Crowne in Chicago. The guy's name is Jerry Bryant, and he does look too much like JGarcia for his own good :-) It airs on a couple different channels, but since I don't have cable, I occasionally watch it on Sat. night/Sunday mornings 2:30-3:30 am (hence the occasionally) on Channel 26 in Chicago. > I think it was a 30 > minute show, I caught about 25 minutes of it.

Then they interspersed "Talulah" "God" "Past > the Mission" videos with her interview clips. Going on memory, the version I saw had Caught A Lite Sneeze, US version of Cornflake Girl, God, and a live version of Smells Like Teen Spirit at the same venue as LE, Here... and others from the LE video. > It was bizarre-o, because > the interviewer was so weird. He was, first of all, standing entirely > too close to Tori. He does that with everyone. All his interviews are done standing in front of that control panel. He's usually more interested in asking performers about themselves and getting to know them as opposed to their music. This approach seems to work well with most artists, the most notable exception being Oasis (walked out after 5 minutes), which earns Jerry points in my book :-) > He continued to say wacked out things (example: > "cockroaches are beautiful") to which Tori would make hilarious faces > in her replies.

He does appear to be a big Tori fan as he probably plays her videos more often than anyone else's - in the 2 1/2 years I've been sporadically watching, I've seen God, CGirl, PTMission, CALS, Talula, and Hey, Jupiter - keep in mind that this is an hour a week show. I've also seen him at a Tori show in Chicago (Bismarck, July 1994.) > Has anyone else seen this? It was such a surprise for me to run across > on, of all places, cable access. I'd summarize JBTV like this : really cool show, really shitty timeslot :-) Later, Tom nystrom@math.nwu.edu ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 13 Dec 1996 00:56:26 -0500 (EST) From: Nadyne Mielke Subject: Re: Y KANT On Thu, 12 Dec 1996, James Dixon wrote: > Nadyne Mielke wrote: > > Check out record shows.

It's about a bunch of music sellers, both rare and not-even-remotely-rare, getting together an, renting a ballroom in a hotel, charging admission, and selling records, CDs, tapes, and about anything else remotely music related. There is one in Atlanta every couple of months. {The next one is in mid-January, IIRC.} The last time I was at the one here, they had a pretty fair amount of Tori merchandise. Some of it was hideously expensive {$50 for a BfP clear vinyl?!}, some of it was in the right range {$40 for Tea with the Waitress, $100 for YKTR}. I did get to see the box of cornflakes for the first time, which was kinda nifty. ;) /nad > Now Playing: 99X on RealAudio, which is working *amazingly* well tonight.
