I'm sure I'll have more thoughts after I've had sleep (and possibly seen more shows). But a few quick things. During secret time Tori sang a special song to her tellytubby doll of Dipsy and went into Happy Phantom, and at the end sang to Dipsy again. :) Sugar and Space Dog were great -- I'd never heard either of them live before (in person I mean. I've heard them on bootlegs). But I really just have one thing to say. The live Raspberry Swirl is just about the rockingest thing on 8 legs. :) Beth - -- "It was the same for both of us. It was like we'd finally met our twin. Can you grasp that? Here we were, from two different worlds. and yet, together we made up the same person. In his arms, I knew who I was: Shade. Just Shade.

Well, i would like to hear Tori doing some Jazz standars, like the one she did of "Strange Fruit" (that old Billie Holliday tune). Wouldn't it be awesome to hear Tori singing "Skylark" or some Gershwin melodies, like "The man i love".She already did a wonderful version of "summertime", don't you think? Also she could do some Bob Dylan covers, (any of his song but "Blowin in the wind", I hate that song).Someone mentioned "Lay lady lay". That one could sound just perfect performed by Tori. Or some Jimi Hendrix songs. "Angel" is a beutiful one. I'd love to hear Tori singing it. Or "Little wing", "Castles made of sand". What about Elvis Costello's "Shipbuilding", or Carol King's "tapestry" and "So far away"; or Elthon John's "Rocket man"...(long, long etc.) Well, what the hell! She always do great covers! ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 16 Sep 1998 11:08:15 +0300 (EET DST) From: Kaj-Michael Lang Subject: Re: tori mp3s On Tue, 15 Sep 1998, danielle risley wrote: http://www.tal.org/torilink.html or if you prefer normal ftp then: ftp.tal.org/pub/toriamos and /pub2/toriamos 200-250 MP3. 5 full boots, and lots of rare/live stuff. > hello everyone. > ive been searching forever and i cant seem to find em. > does anyone know good sites for tori mp3's? i'm looking for mostly rare > songs, ( preferebly not too big.) and also covers. faous blue raincoat i > would die for( i have it on tape but its adub of a dub so its crappy) > anyways....... > i have landslide which is now one of my alltime fav.s :) > thanks i'd really appreciate it. > tata > danielle > > ______________________________________________________ > Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com > - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Kaj-Michael Lang milang@tal.org Kaskentie 5 C9 http://www.tal.org/ 20720 Turku ftp://ftp.tal.org/ FINLAND klang@abo.fi - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Keyboard not found - press any key to continue - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 16 Sep 1998 01:51:09 -0400 From: "Nephilim" Subject: Tori Book Update, Merman Reminder, and Poll Hello ALL Finally i got the Meet and Greet Pictures from the Orlando 8/19 show up at my site, almost one month later.

Okay. There are two main web sites out there. Firstly, there is the completely indispensable page run by Ms Danica, at: http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Towers/5612/torimp3.html You can find virtually *any* damn Tori song live, and never fear, there's two versions of FBR last time I checked. There's also the Oubliette, located at www.oubliette.ml.org... I'm not quite sure what Micky Knox has uploaded at the moment, since he ran into a nasty patch with some lovely legal-type people regarding mp3s on his page, but I'm 99% certain he's still got some live recordings up. And finally, there's the FTP server (unsure of who this is run by), at: ftp://ftp.tal.org (erm... I *think* I got that right... correct me if I'm wrong, I'm at the uni labs at the moment). They're starting to get a nice collection of boots going up, and they've also got a whopping section of b-sides and remixes. HTH.

(i'd been up almost the whole night before, so to any people i talked to there that may remember me -- if i was ditzy, sorry ;) if you talked to me, i was the chubby girl with the huge scrape on her face. (ahh, gotta love being graceful) so anyway, we sat around for a while, 'til this really cool dark-haired girl came running up, saying that the meet wasnt here, but down below, and how we should come down there.. there were already about twenty people there when we got there, and several people were trying to herd them into this little corral like sheep. it worked, everyone running for front row.. i ended up in the second-ish row, which was alright with me, since im pretty tall. waiting out in the sun without water, however, for an hour and a half was no good, and by the time she came out to sign autographs i was about to both strangle this know-it-all who kept interrupting everyone (did he not understand the meaning of "shut up!"? enough people were yelling it at him!) and tackle the nearest person with a water bottle. eventually, however, she made her appearance, i got my Winter single case signed, while a girl behind me was yelling, "tori! tori! play Mary!" i guess tori thought it was me who'd said it, though (i was kinda umm, blocking the view of the girl) cauz she looked up at me and smiled and said, "okay" hehe, kinda thrilled me later when she played it. :) after the meet, everyone stampeded to get water and get in line. an hour and a half later, tif and i were settled on the floor of the general admittance area, about fix seat-lengths from the front. some random thing caused everyone to jump up about ten minutes later, though, and soon afterward, the opening band came on. the devlins. or shall we say, the sucklins? i almost fell asleep :) cute guys and all, just um, no talent, heh. after they went off-stage, the wait for tori began (nearly an hour, though not so terrible, since they were playing Massive Attack during the wait) toward the end, people of course began chanting TORI! TORI! TORI! as always happens :) the concert that followed -- my first tori concert -- was amazing. when she played raspberry swirl, you could feel the electricty running through the place like a powerhouse, everyone dancing and shouting, totally going nuts. you couldnt help yourself. it was tori. i listen to my tapes and cds now, but nothing can compare to tori live, raw, and uncut. im not even sure if my mind can help but seperate them.. it's just too amazing :) amy ami@blue.netnation.com - -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- http://www.geocities.com/westhollywood/village/3324 ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 16 Sep 1998 08:03:36 EDT From: PsyKoNaiLZ@aol.com Subject: Re: Songs Tori should cover?

I'm not going to single anybody out, merely because I tend to delete all my damn PT messages, and don't want to pick on the people whose messages are still sitting in my trashbox. However, I've also noticed the trend in a lot of the reviews on the Dent. So here goes my rant. The overwhelming majority of concert reviews seem to be about 99% "my experience at the meetand greet and how I met tori and how there's a whole bunch of people who've met her millions of times before and what time I got there and who they met up with (like hell the majority of the list people know who they're talking about anyway) and how good their seats were". So... where's the concert review, guys? I wouldn't mind finding out what the actual *concert* was like. How good the songs were, the atmosphere, what songs she played, et al. So I get kinda confused as to why people are naming their reviews "concert reviews" when all they are are meet and greet stories". One-liners about how the concert was 'really good" doesn't *quite suffice*. It's just something that's started to bother me. Big deal. You met tori. You and hundreds of other kids. What was the concert like, damnit? /rant Dani. ~~~ fadagurl@torithoughts.org http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Amphitheatre/1529/ "I wilted... and like a Christian, I confessed."

I generally see one come up for sale every month or so. One warning about eBay: the auctions there can go a lot higher than what the item is really worth. I know I saw a pink vinyl UtP go there for $60, when I can buy it for $9.99 in town here for $9.99.

I was reading the lyrics to Celibrity Skin (Hole's new album), and one of the lyrics said (from "Reasons to be Beautiful") "Love hangs herself / in her room" and this lead me to start thinking about her name... Love. I thought it was interesting that she referred to herself in third person, but it also caused me to think about another song... Cooling! Has it occurred to anyone else (or am I just crazy?!) that this song might be about Kurt Cobain... for example, Maybe I didn't like to hear / but I still can't believe Speed Racer is dead (this song was written during BPF, probably within a year of K.C.'s death) So then I thought I'd make some plans / but Fire thought she'd really rather be water instead -- could this refer to Love's rapid rise to fame and fiery reputation, then immediately after Cobain's death, she became "watered down" As Courtney says "Oh make me over" This is cooling / faster than I can -- could "this" be Courtney, cooling off from Kurt's suidice faster than Tori did? Or do I want what she has (that's from a live version I have; in the recorded song, I believe she says "Or do I hate what she is?") / Or do I want to be her? ...this probably speaks for itself. Did Tori have a major crush on Kurt? And don't we love something fresh / anything new, Virgin ... Despite glowing reviews from critics, most people didn't like Courtney Love, but after the suicide of Kurt Cobain, she made herself over -- new, fresh -- and people began to feel sorry for her and like her a lot. (I did!) Woman you got too many brambles hiding under these bushes ...maybe Tori is referring to Love's hidden agendas, her prickly (brambles are thorny vines or weeds) intentions to capitalize off of Cobain's fame But I always like a good storm / always good for a storm.. no idea, unless Tori is saying she's willing to confront Love about it (?) And then Love walked up to Like / and said I know that you don't like me much, so let's go for a ride... Did Courtney Love ever confront Tori about her feelings? If so, maybe this is what she's referring to. This ocean is wrapped around that pineapple tree... again, I don't really know, unless Courtney is that pineapple tree (again, prickly!)... And is your place in Heaven worth giving up these kisses... I don't know... this could either refer to Kurt's place in Heaven, meaning that he died for Courtney, and he had to give up her kisses (?), or Courtney giving up her place in Heaven for kisses from the world Anyway, that's all I can really decipher (and I could be TOTALLY off base, mind you!)... if anyone else has any theories that might fit in with mine, please let me know ;o) *smooches* Dave ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 16 Sep 1998 17:33:30 EDT From: Freque79@aol.com Subject: Re: (no subject) "Forgotten Earthquakes" is a bootleg that has these on it. the track list is: Upside Down Thoughts Sugar Flying Dutchman Humpty Dumpty The Pool Take to the Sky Sweet Dreams Crucify Angie Smells Like Teen Spirit Take to the Sky (live) Thank You Here.

I think this is SUCH a fantastic idea that I cannot even begin to imagine how amazing it would be if it materialized. Someone who gets to talk to her (Richard...) or at least meet her at the meet&greets should tell her that this is the most wonderful thing she could ever do. Even better than a live album, IMHO. But she's been mentioning both ideas, so I guess she wants to do both and hopefully, will indeed do them. And I hope Atlantic is all nice with her projects and releases them soon! This would be simpy amazing. Someone PLEASE tell her to go ahead and do it! :) Giovanni ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 16 Sep 1998 16:56:35 -0600 From: Christi McKinley Subject: Re: and the Atlantic drowned a Choirgirl I don't know if they are readily available in Germany but they are available because someone picked up one for me there. :)Christi Marcel Rijs wrote: > > Pete (PRLstoke@aol.com) writes: > >hello list > > > >just thought i'd send you this bit of info for the (still) ongoing UK > >Raspberry Swirl fiasco - the standard European CD (made in Germany, the type > >which should have been released here in the UK) has been in *every* record > >store I've been in in the past few days, all with stickers saying "Import" > >(like, they must've sent the discs elsewhere in Europe and then imported them > >back again!) and priced at UK pounds 5.99 or 6.99 - these are the very same > >discs that were nearly released weeks ago when they would've sold for 1.99 > >each > > > >so these discs are now *not rare* by any definition of the term - simply > >expensive > [....] > > I feel very angry, as these 'imports' are not even available here.

Just thought i'd ask if anyone knew if there was a 12" of Jackies Strength available? In either comm. or promo version? I know Spark and Raspberry Swirl were released as promotional 12", just wondered if this one did too. Thanks Phil ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 16 Sep 1998 19:25:53 EDT From: "Sonya Harway" Subject: Talula on BfP Okay, sorry guys to ask once again. I'm initiating my sister in Tori, so I just bought her BfP and LE for her birthday, and her copy of BfP is in the computer room, so I pop it in the CD drive, turn it on while checking email, and when Little Amsterdam ends, I start singing the beginning of the normal Talula, and what comes on but the Tornado mix! I turn over the case, and it looks just like my copy that I bought on the release date (except newer). No distinguishing features that say anything about this. And all the other songs are fine. I know the error that Atlantic made with the covers, but is this copy more rare or worth anything more than regular price? love, sonya =Thank you for your squirrel= ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 16 Sep 1998 18:55:49 EDT From: SalrMoonS@aol.com Subject: Re: jackie's strength video In a message dated 9/14/98 6:16:26 PM Central Daylight Time, cystuhler@juno.com writes: << > What does anyone else think or would like to hear? >> Oh Gods... my number one question. I've always had this major fantasy of having Tori cover ANY song off the Tommy soundtrack... you know... private time... the blue light focuses on Tori... "See me... feel me... touch me... heal me...". Boom. That would be it for me. ::imagines Tori screaming "You never heard it! NOT A WORD OF IT! You'll say nothing to no one, you'll never tell a soul WHAT YOU KNOW IS THE TRUTH!". Ends fantasy:: Wow... or, and don't hate me for saying this, but I'd LOVE to hear Tori cover Fiona Apple's (::dodges rotten apples thrown at her::) "Never is a Promise"... I love all the high notes in that, Tori'd do a gorgeous renedition of that. Or John Denver's "I'm Sorry"... or "Annie's Song" ("You fill up my SENSES.... like a NIGHT in the forest..."). Or, if she really wanted to kill me, she could sing the Moody Blues' "I Know You're Out there Somewhere"... wow... I'm crying just THINKING about that. Also... wouldn't it be funny to hear her cover Ghetto Superstar? Like she did Whoomp there it is? But hey... that's only a few of my ideas.
