They keep their site updated better than most--certainly better than MTV does theirs. Someone I know with connections to the Letterman show told me Tuesday that Babyface was still the scheduled music guest on the 16th. Many things can happen between now and the 29th, but for now, anyway, here this is.

Date: Wed, 15 Jan 1997 19:52:47 -0800 Message-ID: <32DDA60F.BAD@bellsouth.net> Rusty- I know this is a little strange to throwout at you, but today I found out the real reason that 99X didn't air the Tori LiveX that was recorded at the Fox. =20 My internship with 96rock ended and now I'm with Sony Music/550 Music.=20 The Epic rep for Sony used to be with Atlantic, so of course I asked about Tori. =20 Today I mentioned that I had seen Tori around 6 times live and been to the 2 Atlanta LiveXs. I asked her why the recording of the LiveX at the Fox wasn't aired. The reasons: 1) The Fox has contracted Union workers, which means their workers have to set up equipment, recording, etc. Tori (as with a lot of other performers) brings her own crew with her. Because the DAT was arranged by Tori's crew, the Fox would allow the hurried 3 song sound-check "party" (as the Epic rep put it), but would not allow it to be aired. =20 2) As you've probably noticed, except for the week it was released, Boys for Pele (BfP) received only airplay support for "CaLS." 99X *refused* to play any of the following singles (i.e. "Taulua" when it was released with "Twister," "Professional Widow," & "Hey Jupiter").=20 Record companies don't quite like it when radio doesn't pick up their singles. 3) Because the Atlantic SouthEastern division felt dicked over by Brian Phillips (Program Director for 99X) for not playing the new singles, the rescheduled LiveX (remember that the first one in February was cancelled due to snow) would be done as a favor to the fans who missed out on the original LiveX experience. 4) Another reason the LiveX wasn't aired was due to it's shortness.=20 Tori only played 3 songs, and Myra (the rep) said that she had offered a LiveX/import release ( THE SECOND HALF! - some rarely heard songs, I suppose) package to Phillips at 99X, but he didn't bite, choosing to air a different recording instead. =20 BTW - a friend of Myra's was contracted to photograph the shoot, but didn't use the pictures, and gave them to Myra instead - Myra doesn't need 'em, so she's giving them to me. The photos are uncopyrighted, so if you'd like to scan them for your site (or whatever) let me know. peace and jellybeans - -- keri =20 you defend other people=92s ideas at the expense of your own .douglas coupland=20 most of us are freaks in one way or another .tom robbins - --------- End forwarded message ---------- ------------------------------ End of precious-things-digest V2 #15 ************************************
