I have been in love with Scarlett Spectrum Feels for quite some time, but I just have to find more of this guy's stuff. On the Cruel/RS case it says "remixed by Andy Gray" for Track 3, which is the Ambient RS. So I have searched several places online and can't find anything on the dude. I am assuming that he has done more similar mixes of songs as often remixes done by the same person are slightly similar. Depending on the original artist, of course. So could anyone help me find the person behind the wonderful Ambient Raspberry Swirl. Or just some ideas for some similar ambient music. *shrug* Happy National Coming Out Week Matthew I don't care what they think. I don't care what they say. What do they know about this love anyway?

I didn't get it mixed up. I had written down "Sugar"... when Angel copied my notes, we were in the car on the way home and it was dark... and God and Sugar were written in Silver pen which was very hard to see. I don't know how "Sugar" Looked like "Hey Jupiter" ... but I had the setlist correct. This is the setlist -as I wrote it down- : God Sugar Juarez Cornflake Girl Blood Roses Father Lucifer Little Earthquakes Secret Time: Take to the Sky Smells like teen spirit Cooling Suede Riot Poof Professional Widow Waitress Encore 1: Precious Things Black Dove Encore 2: Spring Haze Pretty Good Year Just wanted to clear that up. I had my notes written down correctly.. I wrote down each song as they were being played, and I wrote down "Sugar" and not "Hey Jupiter"... I can scan my notes if ya'll don't believe me :P hehe ___________________________________________________________________ Get the Internet just the way you want it.

I just got the November issue of Marie Claire, but this is not the issue with Tori's interview and pictures of her in Cornwall. This is just the issue with Kevyn Aucoin's makeup with her pic in it.

I don't know if anyone else here reads the Onion--the coolest newspaper EVER--but their online version reviews TVAB this week. You can check it out at http://www.theavclub.com/music.html, or you can just read it where I copied it below. :o) But, if you haven't been initiated, go to www.theonion.com first, so you know what this place is about. Genius, pure genius. They aren't exactly known for their music reviews, though, so don't take this to heart. The reviewer means well. The -ed is my note. :o) Tori Amos To Venus And Back (Atlantic) Tori Amos has consistently blurred, moved, or altogether erased the line separating absurdity and profundity, from her cryptic/silly lyrics to her daffy interviews, all the way down to liner notes thanking "the faeries." Thirty seconds into her fifth solo album, To Venus And Back--a two-disc, two-hour set split between short-notice studio recordings and a 75-minute greatest-hits-live package--she's already uttered the words, "Father, I killed my monkey." But her capacity for tremendous musical elegance, coupled with her tremendous capacity for cloying bullshit, is what makes her a unique star, and the former tendency overwhelms the latter on her fine new collection. The studio set is consistently as pleasantly accessible as the best stuff on 1998's fine From The Choirgirl Hotel, whether she's indulging in pretty, catchy, bleary pop ("Glory Of The 80's") or the ambitiously arranged, eight-and-a-half-minute "Datura." The studio disc (subtitled "Orbiting") would alone be worth the price of admission for most Amos fans, but the second disc ("Live, Still Orbiting") certainly won't disappoint, either. Often eschewing her biggest radio hits ("Cornflake Girl" is here; "God," "Silent All These Years," "Caught A Lite Sneeze," and "Jackie's Strength" aren't [Jackie's Strength is a big radio hit?!-ed.] ), Amos deftly shifts tone, smartly mixing lively pop songs ("Girl") and solo-with-a-piano ballads ("Cloud On My Tongue," the previously unavailable "Cooling"). For every brief moment of twee cutesiness ("Mr. Zebra"), there are four of five moments of lovely grace or brisk pop. There's more than enough of all of the above to appeal to virtually everyone in Amos' large, broad assortment of fans. --Stephen Thompson *The End* Love, Sara xoxoxo ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 13 Oct 1999 18:06:54 EDT From: Freedom110@aol.com Subject: Re: Queen vs. Mr Zebra In a message dated 10/12/99 4:37:15 PM Pacific Daylight Time, desilu@wt.net writes: > I had someone ask me about this a while back: > > Have you ever heard of a song by Queen called Killer Queen? > > I ask this because my boyfriend is as big a fan of Queen as I am > > of Sarah and Tori and I've heard this song.

"...There is fantasy violence (on "The Waitress," Amos wants to murder a flirting, inattentive waitress); molestation and rape ("Icicle"); deception ("The Wrong Band"); and expectation and anxiety ("Baker Baker")..." The part that really interested me was the bit about Icicle. I could have sworn Tori wrote that about masturbating in church to a picture of Jesus, but Mr. RollingStone.com begs do differ!! Can anyone clear this up? (lol, i *know* this will get cleared up because you guys are all-knowing-tori-professors. HEY you should open up a college!!!) - -riley. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 13 Oct 1999 19:01:05 -0500 From: ckerley Subject: hot katchina well, i don't usually post, but i thought i would share my discovery. i'm a gta at my university and i was helping a student with a writing assignment today. her paper is about the hopi tribe. in the paper, she mentioned kachinas. so i asked her to tell me more about them. apparently, kachina is a hopi fertility god who lived in the mountains and brought the much needed rain to the land. also, if you want to see kachina dolls you can go to this link http://www.nativebeauty.com/kachina.htm so all this helped me with the line "a hot kachina who wants into mine". makes more sense now. especially in relation to iieee and the indian boy who visited tori. bliss always made me think of iieee - now i know why. catherine ------------------------------ End of precious-things-digest V4 #308 *************************************
