Are we really that lucky? It seems to be a new listing because it is not along with the same videos that debuted last week and the date is listed as August 22nd. We have heard that the 1000 oceans video is finished, so its possible. Also debuting are videos from Bjork and Sinead Lohan... I'm excited. Does anyone have more info on this? Mikewhy is away... I wouldn't think a new video would be released right away, but hey the singles are being released only two weeks apart. Regardless, i'll be tuning in to 120 minutes with high hopes this Sunday.

I was browsing the web again and found the coolest thing! It's a live performance of Tori playing a special called "Tori Amos: Live and Unrehearsed" for MTV on August 16th. It was a special performance with only 15 people who won a contest in attendance. The website features only her playing "Hey Jupiter" and "Bliss" on RealVideo, So if you have a RealPlayer. I suggest you go there and see these ultra cool videos. Quality Bliss: C Hey Jupiter: A- Addy: http://www.mtv.com/mtv/music/alanis_tori/ Take care toriphiles RED http://fly.to/stringbeanlove ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 20 Aug 1999 02:01:12 -0500 From: Sara Hansen Subject: The Green-Eyed Monster Guys, I think I'm going to cry. You know, I tried to convince myself that I didn't need to be on this tour, that the tickets were too expensive, that I didn't want to deal with Alanis, that I saw her last time and I'll see her next time and it's no big deal. It is a big deal. I just came home from this show, this little local show at this little podunk coffee house, and it would have been fun except it wasn't. My best friend recently decided she was too cool for me. And now when I tell her stories or jokes she just nods and sort of smiles that "I don't give two shits" smile. So I feel ridiculous and try even harder to entertain her, and it never works, and then there I am, playing the clown again. The boy I have a mild crush on wasn't even there, and I had eight-tracks for him (he drives a Gremlin with an eight-track player) and everything. So, you know... slightly depressing night. Then I come home to this. Elated, ecstatic reviews of the first show of the tour. And I believe every word, I believe the show was really that great. AND I WISH I WERE THERE. She played Blood Roses, people. I mean... last time I remember being jealous that I couldn't go to every concert. I should have been happy with my one! It was the same steps as last time.... Seeing her on Letterman, taping the new video, reading about the new album, and getting tickets!! But I didn't get tickets!!! Wah. I'm sixteen years old, this shouldn't be a main problem in my life, but I'm so upset now. I'm such a fool. Didn't I realize how very worth it it would be? The show on the last tour was so amazing, I cried when she opened with Precious Things, I even danced in public. What's wrong with me? Even now I'm trying to rationalize it, saying "There's a chance I could still go," but I know it's not going to happen. And I'm saying, "Maybe someone will buy me a necklace," but that's fraudulent if I didn't really see a show. I should be happy with the new single and new album. But I'm greedy! I can't be! I know I'm being too emotional about this, but there's blood and mucus dripping out of my body at an alarming rate, and I keep having nightmares that my dad doesn't love me anymore, and I need to vent! Damn it! This sucks! This is a horrible day, and I should never have gotten out of bed. Kids, please be happy with the shows you're getting to see. You're very lucky people. And if anyone knows about Tori's post-5.5 Weeks-touring--are there any more dates to be announced? Perchance any in the NW IN/Chicago area?--let me know. Really. I need some good news. And is it twin, peek-a-boo? Or Twin Peak-able? If Tori referenced Twin Peaks I'd poop my pants. Two of the coolest things in my life coming together is a rare occurence. "There's nothing like the taste sensation when maple syrup *claps hands* collides with ham!" Time to watch some Happy Days and try to sleep. Wah.

Do you two get along well? Tori: Touring is like being in a different galaxy and it^Òs hard to explain to someone who^Òs not in it. It^Òs like a surgeon trying to explain what it^Òs like in the operating room. Not that I^Òm comparing touring to surgery, but both can be pretty messy. Alanis and I had a good giggle talking about our experiences. She knows what it^Òs like to have left your underwear behind in the hotel room, and it wouldn^Òt be so bad except that it was your Prada underwear that you bought with a royalty check and even that would be okay but you already wore them. So, she understands what it^Òs like to know that someone is hawking your dirty Prada underwear on the street. Q: Prada underwear? Tori: It^Òs the most impractical thing, but well, I am recently married. Married life is^Åit^Òs like having a shared secret with somebody. And then you collect these treasures together and you discover that trust brings more passion. Q: You mention Raquel Welch in one of your new songs and you did a commercial with her a while ago for Crystal Light? Tori: I really don^Òt know Raquel, but I do mention her in the song, ^ÓGlory of the Eighties.^Ô I was in a commercial with her^×I was one of three banshees up on the screen. I was obnoxious, I^Òm sure. It was the 1980s. I just remember she was looking at me, horrified. Whatever you say about Raquel she always looks very sleek, very polished. I probably had hair up to the ceiling or something. The director suggested I tone it down. take care toriphiles!

Lauderdale, Florida. Tori and Alanis will remain in the sunshine state for tomorrow night's show at the Ice Palace in Tampa, and then head north to Atlanta (see the Tour Database for a complete itinerary). The 5 1/2 Weeks Tour may not make it to a town near you for, well...5 1/2 Weeks. But that doesn't mean you have to wait that long to hear songs from Tori's highly anticipated upcoming album, TO VENUS AND BACK, which hits streets September 21st. The first single, "Bliss," is already playing on radio stations across the country, and now you can see the video for "Bliss" on the Atlantic site's INSTAVID channel! In other Tori news, MTV will air a portion of Amos' recent online performance "Live & Unrehearsed" on the Sunday, August 22nd episode of 120 Minutes. This very special event, which was cybercast live on Monday night, August 16th, found Tori previewing material for the 5 1/2 Weeks Tour. Her set consisted of 7 songs: "God"; "Bliss"; "Hey Jupiter"; "Merman"; "1,000 Oceans"; "Sugar"; and "Cornflake Girl." Go to the Atlantic site to see some pictures from the cybercast performance, which was presented by MTV.com and Sonicnet.com, and stay tuned for details regarding an upcoming re-broadcast! In what is sure to prove an historical event, Tori and Atlantic Records have announced that "Bliss" will be offered as a secure downloadable track for purchase via multiple online retailers beginning August 13th. This marks the first time that a major label artist has made a downloadable single commercially available across-the-board throughout the Internet retail community. Among the participating online retailers are: Musicland, Wherehouse, CDNOW, Tower Records, Transworld Entertainment, Virgin, EveryCD, and others. Over a dozen independent outlets have also signed up, including Music Millennium, Waterloo Records, Twist and Shout, and Compact Disc World, among many others. Coinciding with the release of "Bliss" as a commercial downloadable single, "1,000 Oceans," a second new song from TO VENUS AND BACK, is also hitting radio stations, and both songs will be commercially released in CD5 and CD, cassette, and vinyl single versions. http://www.atlantic-records.com/tori_amos http://www.tori.com ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 20 Aug 1999 14:53:46 -0700 (PDT) From: Cooling My Heels Subject: Tori on VH-1 Well, as I said in the mish-mash of Meet and Greeters on Wednesday, Tori was on VH-1's Women First today.

Please be aware that, if there -is- a meet'n'greet after the show, it will be a madhouse. After the show is when -everyone- tries to meet her, and you can easily count on 500 or so people there. Unless you plan on skipping Alanis's set to get a place in line {and then you'll get crushed by folks pushing forward in an attempt to get closer}, you will not meet her or get anything signed. IMHO, meet'n'greets (at least, as they were before) are a thing of the past. Too many people go to them, and they act like absolute bastards. /nad ------------------------------ End of precious-things-digest V4 #246 *************************************
