Etc... a basic rundown of which category each song fits into. Very informative. It also has a small, intresting pic of Tori with a royal blue background and a tinted blue face. =D VERY SHIEK!

Well if we can only get this track through Tower and the internet and you can't have a Mac, and most people don't even get the internet, then its time we music lovers of the world unite! Music should be available to anyone wether or not one has access to credit cards and computers. Why single the desreving tekkies out for this track? Tori Amos will be touring soon, anybody able to talk to her after the show must bring up the question of equal access to this track with her. We should however, not be accusatory here. I personnaly don't plan on through with this internet deal and if only through protest we can have access then protest we shall have. Lets not let music be confined for only the upper class. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 10 Apr 1998 00:21:09 EDT From: SmerfCrazy Subject: i saw tori tonight!!!!! :) just wanted to let everyone know that i saw tori tonight on letterman, all thanks to a wonderful awesomelly cool girl named johanna!!!!!!!!!!! (thank you again)........ all i must say is that her performance of spark was by far better than anything i had expected. she played both the key board and the piano, though it wasnt bosey. it was smaller. i also have to add that this was the first time i have ever seen tori live, and during the past year and half i have been building this experience up in my head and the outcome has by far surpassed anyhting i imagined! she also shook my hand and called me "sweetie" and signed my tori stories, though the signature ran becuase of the rain :(..... no matter though. just meeting her was enough to send my head spinning, she is the most beautiful and amazing woman i have ever met. i cant even describe it, but tonight has been one of the most wonderful experiences of my life. i feel so elevated right now and im still shaking from the experience. maybe it sounds corny, but i dont even care. she is perfect in every way!!!!!!!!! during the performance, she wore alot of green sparkly make-up around the eyes, and the way she played Spark was like a ZILLION times more emotional than the albumn version (if you can even IMAGINE that!!!) just thought id share that with everone and i hope you all have a GREAT night!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so, who else saw her tonight???? jjjjjjjj (palstic is a disease) PS- thank you again johanna! you rock my world! ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 10 Apr 1998 02:51:08 -0400 (EDT) From: Richard Handal Subject: Re: Tori's Hospital Visit Joe said: > For those of you who have been on the list for a while, I'm not sure, > correct me if I'm wrong--but did someone post sometime last year that > they heard Tori checked into the hospital for something but that it > wasn't really serious so no need to worry?

This summer I've been working at a hospital in London, serving patient's meals and stuff..nothing really exciting. Anyway, there are 2 buildings for this hospital, the North and South, they're about 5 minutes away from each other, and I usually work in the South building (bear with me for a moment - - there IS a point to this rambling :) Anyway, a couple of weeks ago, on September 16th I think, they made me work in the other building for some reason, then when I went back to my usual building a couple of days later, I was chatting to one of my co-workers, and guess what he told me? That none other than Ms. Amos herself had been admitted to the hospital and he had been serving her meals! But don't worry, it wasn't anyting too serious - apparently she was having her wisdom teeth removed. I was soooo disappointed when I heard this - I'm probably one of the few people that work in the hospital that have even HEARD of Tori, let alone like her music and I wasn't working when she was there. So I was asking my colleague all these questions like 'did you talk to her?', 'did she seem okay?' and stuff like that....to tell you the truth I think he was getting a bit annoyed with me because I was like in a state of shock all day long and I kept going on about it :) I can't believe I didn't get a chance to see her - and she was staying on the 4th floor too, which is where I usually work. The only info I was able to get out of this guy was that she was only in for the day, she didn't stay over night, and apparently she was having her teeth removed (I'm not 100 percent sure about that, cos you're not really meant to ask patients what's wrong with them, but that's what he said). She had a friend wtih her the whole time, an American woman, and she ate mashed potatoes for lunch! I was kind of interested in what she ate, because I know that if you're a day patient and you've just had an operation they only give you a limited selection of food and it's all pretty bland - and knowing how much Tori likes food I wondered what she would think about that... it seems like she liked the potatoes though :) Apparently, one of the the top managers came around and said 'ok guys, we've got a really important patient in Room 402, so be really nice to her...blah blah blah.' I think they've had quite a few famous people stay there in the past - Michael jackson and movie stars...oh, and it was the hospital where Princess Di's father died a couple of years ago. So, that's about all I know, I'm afraid. I'm soooo gutted that I wasn't working that day - if I had been I would have just HAD to go and say hi to her. I would have prolly asked her when her next album was coming out and stuff like that. But anyway, I hope this little story has been of interest to you :) See ya, Nina ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 10 Apr 1998 13:43:40 EDT From: SmerfCrazy Subject: incase anyone is setting their VCR's.... they said last night that the letterman show will be 15 minutes delayed due to some stupid Highlights from the openings of some golf tournament....... just so everyone knows to set the VCR 15 minutes ahead and all...... jjjjjj ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 10 Apr 1998 14:57:55 +0100 From: "Mike Gray" Subject: Tori in "The Times" (UK) Tomorrow, Saturday 10th April.

Needless to say I didn't find anything new on the chat, but they do give you the link to the Yahoo chat and a link to download "I-chat" which you'll be needing if you want to participate.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah... but... of course it will have to output through the soundcard, and of course as that is outputed you can stick the output to a DAT recorder (or anything, really) and then re-input it into the input of the soundcard and then... record it as a wav, convert it to real audio, and bob is, as they say round here, your aunty... ;-) Cheers Mike ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 10 Apr 1998 08:28:23 -0700 (PDT) From: "K. Fischer" Subject: Spark singles I don't know if anyone has mentioned this, but you can get a better deal for the two Spark UK singles at Music Machine than at IGG. Music Machine is charging $9 for each single, BUT it is only $17 if you order both (so they come out to about $8.50 each). I know this is only a little bit cheaper, but for some people it is a couple bucks worth saving. The website is at http://www.musicmachine.com , the email address is musimac@aol.com, and the phone number is (410) 356-4567. The website says the "Star Profile" audio documentary of Tori is $15, but when I called them they said the price has been changed to $12.

There are ways around it. :) If your soundcard has an out {preferably a digital out}, you can hook it up to your cassette, minidisc, or DAT recorder. If you have two machines with soundcards, you can hook the out from one machine into the in on the other machine and have a copy of it. There are enough computer geeks on this list that there won't be too much lag time between when the song is released by Tower and when it's available for general consumption on the Internet. ;) /nad ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 10 Apr 1998 04:25:14 -0400 From: Beth Coulter Subject: Philly thoughts (or watch your wallet) Philly might be fun, or it might be front page news on Sunday.

How in the HELL I'm ever gonna make it through an entire tour's worth of this I have no idea. I've been going from elation, to feeling like I may throw up at any minute. I may have even discovered some emotions I didn't know existed before, which is interesting. I know at least two people on this list were going to see the Letterman taping yesterday. How about a report! I stood out in the cold rain for ages in the standby line yesterday and didn't get in, and would like to know what I missed--things we won't be seeing on the version to air tonight. Anything! Thanks! No sour grapes from me, though. I was the recipient of the first Tori hug of this new tour, which was bestowed upon me as she arrived at the Letterman studio for the sound check yesterday morning. She said she's "real good," and it was just amazing to see her and hug her again, and to talk for a minute. She was rushed as usual, but stopped on her way out about an hour later to sign some autographs for the handful of folks who were there. And BTW--Joel now has short hair. ;-) Gotta go rush off to prepare for the ticket frenzy tonight in D.C. Hope it doesn't conflict with my work, because looking for another job can be *so* tedious.

I don't care how they do it, though. As I said before, I REFUSE to buy my copy from Tower specifically because of this "deal." If we ALL pay for the album, we should ALL get the song. I don't think that's an unreasonable expectation for my having given them a pretty chunk of change for a myriad of Tori goods over these past six years. So I'm boycotting this BS. Even if I'm the only person who does, and Tower and AT&T and Atlantic and their pet duck don't give a crap, at least *I'll* still know I wasn't anyone's puppet. As far as I'm concerned, this "Merman" deal is a slap in the face for all of us.

I don't > think that's an unreasonable expectation for my having given them a > pretty chunk of change for a myriad of Tori goods over these past > six years. I agree wholeheartedly. And the issue isn't "well, the song will turn up on a bootleg or in realaudio or on tin cans and string eventually". Record companies, record shops and digital security designers should *not* have the say in what we, the fans, get to hear, and when, just because they want to make vast sums of money from it. Of course, I'm not naive enough to think that they're never going to do that, they're in business to make money after all, but this current Merman rubbish really takes the piss. I'm really quite disappointed that Tori has allowed one of her 'girls' to be heard only by Windows 95-running internet-connected people in the United States. That's an incredibly low percentage of her worldwide audience. Plus, to get a little technical for a moment - a 5-minute song in CD quality digital audio takes up ridiculous amounts of megabytes, completely unsuitible for downloading over a dialup internet connection. So, akin to MP3 and RealAudio, there's going to be a fair amount of compression involved in the file people download, which means less-than-perfect sound quality. This isn't really what we deserve, is it, people? Of course, people are going to get around this protection thingy, as someone always does, especially when you're dealing with something that can be so easily converted into analogue (i.e. audio). I just think this whole free track thing stinks of commercialism and barrel-scraping to the highest degree. It devalues Tori's art to the level of cash-raking. Of course, the song might be crap..

(btw, if *anyone* has pictures of the meet and greet please let me know.. i forgot to get out my camera and give tori peeps) everyone seemed to be in a giddy daze afterwards and we went into the roselands to wait to get in line for the show. john and i met a couple of tori fans who had come from philly and had brought tori some chardonnay (hi jeff and matt :) we soon got in line and ended up in the third (?) row, stage left with a direct view of tori's piano/keyboard without any cameras in the way. there was a lot of cheering whenever tori's name came up during the show with some guys screaming out "my goddess" :) after the second guest left, david said that tori would be next and about 6 guys came out with tori's keyboard and baby piano and powdered it down and then played on it for what seemed like a long time. then the drum set came out and we saw caton playing a bit.. finally tori came out to a lot of screams and applause. then taping began and david introduced her and spark! the instrument setup was very reminiscent of caught a lite sneeze on saturday night live back in '96.. only the harpie was replaced by a little keyboard.. tori's voice was just so strong, i'm not sure if she's taken more voice lessons or if it's just because of more experience, but it seems like her voice is coming from a totally different place now. lots of pretty glitter makeup.. and great shoes. completely amazing encompassing performance. when she was done there was again a lot of screams and she kissed david and talked to him for a little bit and waved to us goodbye and that was it. from the monitor shots i caught, it's going to be beautiful on tv. johanna .evol. .freedom for tibet. www.milarepa.org (ask me how you can help) "nothing's gonna stop me from floating" -tori * * * johanna ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 10 Apr 1998 19:44:24 EDT From: AKlink8489 Subject: Re: Site it's up, but in my opinion, it's not _that_ great.
