It is track 5, O.B.E. by Rabbit in the Moon. There is a bit of confusion on the list in differentiating between a remix and a song sampling PT. The song samples the PT, so it doesn't directly credit her (which is usually okay with artists, unless they're really uptight, and then you have to credit them). So if there is a PT remix by Rabbit in the Moon that I don't know about, someone let me know! love, sonya =Thank you for your squirrel= ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 15 Oct 1998 14:59:35 EDT From: SalrMoonS@aol.com Subject: Re: cornflake 'girl'?

I have it on mp3, although I cannot seem to remember what the name of the band is that does that stuff. why should it appall you? Tori covers other artists, and this artist has covered her. no conspiracy here. and they did a good version of it, as far as i am concerned.

I find it kinda funny that no one yet has made any reference to the fact that in this most amazing show (man, Tori was feisty!) we got an extra treat. Guess who was hanging out at the show? Neil Gaiman. No, I'm not on crack, or imagining things. While waiting for the show to start I saw him, and I *knew* it was him, but that "Nah, it can't be him" thing got to me and I didn't approach him. Something about the choice of songs gave us a hint, when she played Hotel (reference to The Velvets) and Tear In Your Hand (obvious one). After the show, when I left for the meet-n-greet, we saw him wandering around the area. I told my girlfriend that it was him and we both knew it. Eventually some others caught on to it and we even asked Steve if that was Neil, to which he replied, "Maybe. What do you think?" Of course, the best was when Tori came out and dragged him with her to the line! So after I spoke to Tori and thanked for an amazing show (hey, we drove from Miami and it couldn't have been better) we actually got to talk briefly to Neil Gaiman and get his autograph! Only like 4 people got it, too, so it was extra special. Amazing. Two of my most respected and favorite artists right there on the same day.

Raspberry Swirl was fine, but to hear Jackie's Strength, I had to put the speakers up to my ears, even though everything was turned up all the way. In my car's CD player, it was fine. After watching the videos, I put in Under The Pink, and all the music was fine, but her voice was barely audible. I put in Little Earthquakes CD, and it was just the same...but worse. On Silent All These Years, I couldn't hear the lead vocals at all. Backup was fine. My computer is acting like a karaoke machine!! My CD player is broken, and my computer is my only source of music now outside of the car. I put in my Type O Negative CD, and the vocals were just fine, but Peter Steele's voice is WAY lower than Tori's. Somebody please help me! Does anybody know enough about their computer to know what is going on? I did mess with a lot of the volume controls because of the Jackie's Strength video, but I can't think of anything that will do this....please help. - -Angelina ------------------------------ End of precious-things-digest V3 #362 *************************************
