I only recently saw the Excorcist, so the hilarity of this was wasted on me until now! F*cking brilliant! Ha! Anyway, the lyric "nothing's gonna stop me from floating" never made any sense--until I was not thinking about it at all...I was thinking about how bad the cow poop smelled in the heat (I live in Wisconsin)...and it occurred to me. Have you read IT by Stephen King? The "bad guy" who is a demon or the devil or something lives in the sewer and lures in little children with balloons saying something about werent the balloons pretty? They float, and everyone floats down here--everyone always floats in his sewer. Well, i am not going to quote directly unless someone requests it because IT is proping up my monitor right now. So, what do you guys think? Even if that isnt where Tori got it from, it fits pretty snug, doncha think????

The setting was gorgeous (and so was Tori). The band came out first to do a soundcheck and then Tori came out and they rehearsed Crucify. After this Tori got ahold of some bagels and was handing them out to the crowd. Tori opened with Crucify--then they went to commercial--then Bliss. (And on a different note--the camera was panning back over the crowd--almost scalping some tall guy in front of me and then guy who was next to me flipping the bird directly in front of it. And since it was taped live it was aired. I am sure that alot of people were really annoyed but I thought it was kind of funny. When I watched the tape when I got home I said--hey that hand belongs to the guy who was standing next to me---ok lame...anyway.) Charlie Gibson announced that the show was being played live on the jumbotron in time square and that Tori was stopping traffic (it is possible that he was exagerating but I like to have my illusions). Tori then played Cornflake Girl (while GMA was rolling the credits). But the best part come the last when she played Concertina. It is the first time I have heard this live and I thought that it was absolutely beautiful (and my favorite song from the album thus far). After that Tori left and that was pretty much it. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 4 Sep 1999 00:56:46 EDT From: EvilTori@aol.com Subject: Tori in Oct./Nov. JUMP Magazine Tori's mentioned on page 68 of the Oct./Nov. issue of JUMP magazine in a section called "Sound Check". The heading reads: "There are certain things we girls shouldn't live without and, no, we're not referring to boyfriends. We're talking about the best music ever made. If you don't have these 26 classic tunes in your cool-chick collection, get to a record store now! We said go!" There's a very small picture of the Little Earthquakes album cover and a paragraph to the side that reads: "Tori Amos, Little Earthquakes The record that made Tori, well, Tori, features gorgeous, whacked-out piano songs.

When she did "Leather" during secret time at Madison Square Garden last summer, it completely tore me apart and lifted me up. I was very content with the setlist, but I was a little "uninspired" myself from getting that and "Jackie's Strength." I love those two songs, but they are not two of my favorites. It's strange. I will go through a day or a week where JS is my favorite song to listen to all day. But that is rare.

I love UTP. It was the first tori album I have ever owned. It always seemed to me the most mature and meditative album. >From a few of the interviews I have read about the album--it seems that the title basically means beyond the superficial--underneath the exterior. As in beneath our flesh (under the pink) we are all basically the same. When I first I had the album I kind of interpreted the title in a different way--to kind of mean something like under the weather. As in if everything isn't going rosey than things are under the pink. I think that UTP is really a great introduction to Tori. It does not seem to be as open and accessible as LE but it is an amazing album. Maybe I am partial to it because it was my first (I didn't actually listen LE until after I had already had UTP and Boys for Pele already) but it still took me a really long time to get into it. Now every song on that album I adore (which is not necessarily the case with every other album). ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 04 Sep 1999 02:08:50 EDT From: "Stinky Winky" Subject: Re: FTCH Similarity I remember hearing about that novel when Choirgirl first came out.

This is a break from all the tour postings so some of you who like the personal stuff might welcome it. Well, these are some recent Tori thoughts: I was thinking about how we hold Tori on such a pedestal and how I call her my goddess when I describe her to people. Then I was thinking how it IS such a spiritual experience to see her - you can see it on the faces of everyone around you at her shows. How we call people Tori converts, how she is in my life EVERY DAY, how there is a website called Church of Tori, how she has changed so much about the way I live my life and then Crucify came on. "Got enough guilt to start my own religion"? Her touch and voice are healing, her spirit is amazing and she touches so many - so what separates her from being a religious icon? I didn't believe in anything until Tori came into my life (at just the right time to help me put the pieces back together) and now I believe in ME and HER and US and just believing. Anyway, that's kind of a crappy ending to a thought but who's thoughts ever come to a dramatic end? The other thought - or experience rather - is: I was burned by a boy. I mean REALLY REALLY burned. I couldn't cry. I needed to cry but it wouldn't come. Then Precious Things came on. I turned that fucker up and sang along at the top of my lungs, and the tears came and the anger came and I stopped feeling so stupid and weak and I felt strong. No one's music has ever touched me like that. Every line was exactly what I felt (hence the change in my signature file from those who have read my posts before). I don't know where I would be without Tori but I have become a survivor instead of a victim and since I can't thank her, I thought I'd tell you because I know you understand. Anyway, thanks for reading, and if anyone would like to share similar experiences, I am REALLY ready for some boy bashing right about now.

I have an MP3 and I must say this song is so wonderful!! In the 1st 3 minutes there are lyrics you can hear well, but just like one verse. In the background you can hear Tori just chanting words back and forth. It's SOOO awesome. I love her voice when she screams "Get Out of My Garden. And the piano is just so jazzy. I'll admit it does sound a bit like God live. Then in the last 5 minutes it starts out slowly and you can hear her say Dividing Canaan, Piece by Piece, then this AWESOME drum beat comes in. A lot of you are gonna say this is way to repetitive, but I love it. It seems very atmospheric to me. I just see Tori on the side of a mountain, looking down on Canaan, and getting ready to jump. This sounds like something Tori would Improv live, and that's why I love it SO much. I think it's probably going ot be my fave. You can definently see the NIN/techno influences in this one. But you can also tell than it IS our Tori.

" Hmm well probably others have answered this but, I'm always too lazy to go to the next PT to see ;oP so just in case: Hope this doesn't consitute a 'spoiler' for anyone (it's kinda more mysterious when you don't know) but, the talking is actually Tori's crew talking to each other about sound cues and stuff like that. It came thru Tori's headphones (during a recording session), kinda garbled, she liked it, and it went onto the song-opening (may have even inspired the song-- anyone remember ?) ! It's played in concerts like that too. On some recordings (ahem) you can hear the actual words, but it's kinda more cool the other way. Brings to mind faroff pilots giving signals etc. Kind of a melancholy sound. But that's the actual story behind it, from what I can recall.

Concertina was my favorite of the 3 new songs...the chorus is just wonderful, can't wait for the album version...Past the Mission was too good to be true..its one of my favorite TOri songs, and I didn't expect to hear it at all...Father Lucifer sounded nothing like the album version, but it was VERY cool, and Professional Widdow was STUNNING..and, as always, The Waitress and Precious Things were way too good for words..during the Waitress, she started going off on this woman in the front, saying something along the lines of "sit down! you woman in the white shirt! cant you sit down for five fucking seconds!" etc. etc...I have no idea what the problem was though...and the sound totally cut out during the first 5 seconds or so of Past the Mission... and the best part was, I wasn't expecting to go at all, because I didnt have tickets because I couldn't afford them...but Thursday while I was doing my show at WBER (local radio station), Joey (the assistant PD) just handed me a pair of tickets and was like "have fun"....it was too great.. take care james ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 05 Sep 1999 13:27:59 EDT From: "Terry Ferrell" Subject: east-coast tori?

I'm new to this list (and also fairly new to Tori), so I thought that I'd introduce myself. My name is Liz (well, Ophelia is my first name, but I hate it beyond belief, so I go by Liz 'cos my middle name is Elizabeth), and I'm 15. I first heard Tori on the Great Expectations soundtrack. I bought it from my friend 'cos I loved Siren so much. Then I kind of forgot about Tori. Anyways, last spring I was looking at the CDs at the public library, and they had From the Choirgirl Hotel. I checked it out, and I loved it! I was going on a road trip w/ my family, and I played it over and over and over. My family got so sick of Playboy Mommy (my favorite FTCH song) that my dad threatened to throw the CD out the window, but ANYWAYS! :) I went out and bought Little Earthquakes 'cos I heard that it is her best album, and I loved Crucify... now I kind of go through stages where one day I'll love one song, and the next day hate it.

I'm looking for mp3's of new songs and live material. Is the Realm still down? I had a few sites bookmarked but lost my bookmarks. I'd really like some live version of Never Seen Blue, mp3 or real audio. I'll take either format for any new songs or live tracks, if anybody knows of any good websites. I'd rather not deal w/ ftp though. :) Thank you!

JUMP Magazine I don't know why, but I have this need to express my discomfort with that article. Back in the day (actually, three years ago), I was a subscriber to YM and Seventeen...both of which are extremely similar to JUMP. I really don't want to flat out insult these magazines, but I can't help but to believe them to be incredibly immature and flakey now. It's as though I could hear this perky, plastic "yippee!" girly voice in my head as I was reading what they wrote about LE in their issue. Does anyone else notice this? Or feel that way? Or am I the only one that was just a little irked by the way they talked about Me and A Gun. I felt like they were making Tori sound like a girl-power-feminist. Actually, I think these magazines promote, in general, sexism and feminism instead of female individuality or actual intellect aboutthe woes of growing up. I'm nearing the status of young-adulthood, and I know there's still so much to learn, and so much more to grow. Still, this just bothered me...whacked-out piano songs? loveintori, Vicki http://travel.to/desolate.winters >From: EvilTori@aol.com >Reply-To: EvilTori@aol.com >To: precious-things@smoe.org, mikewhy@iglou.com >Subject: Tori in Oct./Nov.

I don't believe I would ever hold tori as a religious icon, but I do see the wonderful things that she does for people that go far beyond the metaphysical. Her touch, her voice...even her smile, can saturate a wounded soul with even the briefest moment of happiness. It's bliss of another kind ;) loveintori, Vicki http://travel.to/desolate.winters p.s. And, my dear, I can associate with Precious Things. I had just broken up with my boyfriend a little over a week ago, and it really did a number on me. Luckily, I saw Tori only 4 DAYS after it happened, and I think that had a lot to do with the healing process. My ex and I weren't together for very long, but a lot happened that is going to leave an impact on the rest of my life. My poetry still lingers around his subject, but there is always music. "Tear In Your Hand" has been making an impression on me, but it seems I have only been listening to "Bliss." Actually, after experiencing Tori for the 4th time last week, I was also moved by Alanis, and have been listening to her newer album since I bought it...the next day. I'm sort of on this struggle to find happiness in independence and I feel that, at the moment, Tori and Alanis are the ones who give me strength. It's a form of feeding, I suppose :) >From: Jennifer Lynn Roth >Reply-To: Jennifer Lynn Roth >To: Precious Things Digest >CC: jrweber@ophelia.ucs.indiana.edu >Subject: my Tori thoughts >Date: Fri, 3 Sep 1999 23:13:31 -0500 (EST) > > > >Hey there.
