The "heavy" LE vinyl is a current issue, so it's not worth anything more than you paid for it. The UtP black vinyl is currently in print, so again not worth anything more than you paid for it. The UtP pink vinyl is somewhat harder to come by, although not impossible; it's worth at most US$20. The BfP and ftch vinyls are currently in print, and so aren't worth more than you paid for 'em. They're available new from Tower Records for $8.99 each. /nad ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 3 Dec 1999 02:24:09 -0500 (EST) From: Bachelorette Subject: WALLINGFORD SHOW Wow! That show was absolutely amazing!!!! She played (and this is probably not in the right order since I'm exhausted): Teen Spirit (she opened with this) Bliss Take to the Sky THANK YOU MARY HONEY WAITING ON SUNDAY TO DROWN (who sang this originally??) Yes Anastasia Hey Jupiter LITTLE DRUMMER BOY (I have never heard this live, and I was really surprised when she sang this!) Concertina Juarez Landslide BLACK SWAN I got this on tape too, and yes, I got all of it this time :) . I also got Vertical Horizon, Marcy Playground, and Dee Snider's little bit where he came out and kind of introduced Tori if anyone wants those too. It came out better than RI, but its still not good enough for CD. So if no one minds getting a tape, I don't mind making a copy. I have a very bad fever, I don't know how I managed to get through it all. Needless to say, if you are looking for me for any reason, please know I;m not forgetting you. I will reply to all my e-mails sometime during the weekend. Ciao ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 3 Dec 1999 04:04:24 -0500 (EST) From: Bachelorette Subject: Spring Haze I can't believe it, I guess I really should listen to the new album more often. I thought "Waiting On Sunday to Drown" was like a cover song or something. Its Spring Haze. geez.... Anyway, don't mind me. Sorry for the mistake. She had mentioned beforehand that she had never sang the song without the band before...but she actually has. During the Musique Pluss performance. So I guess it kind of threw me off a little. Sorry ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 3 Dec 1999 14:04:44 EST From: EvilTori@aol.com Subject: Tori in Alloy (again!) First of all, I don't know if the Tori sighting in the last Alloy catalog has been reported yet, but she was in there too, there was a small interview with the girl who won the poetry contest and a picture of her with Tori. But I just got a new catalog today (it's called Winter 2000) and there's a guys/music section which contains a quiz with a Tori question! The question was: 7) Tori Amos gives a nod to Nine Inch Nails in which of her songs? a) "Caught a Lite Sneeze" b) "Bliss" c) "China" d) "Jackie's Strength" There's also a beautiful little live pic of Tori right next to the question. Robyn ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 3 Dec 1999 13:22:01 EST From: Gidefab@aol.com Subject: Juarez what i have read so far in the news does not mention whether they are men or women - an undetermined amount of people (at least 100 - more like several hundred, depending on the source) are missing. about 20 or so are believed to be americans. this is what tori is quoted as saying about it: (found on the TALD - http://www.powerup.com.au/~evos/dan/tori/venus.html#juarez) "I read an article about several hundred women in Juárez, Mexico, who had been taken out to the desert and brutally raped and murdered. When they didn't come home, their brothers would go and look for them, and many times they'd find nothing. Sometimes they'd find a hair barette or a sock or something they knew was their sister's. The authorities haven't really done anything about it... they get into this serial-killer theory. I mean, how much serial can one man indulge in? So as the song started to develop, I really began taking the voice of the desert, singing in that perspective." >From Alternative Press, October 1999. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 3 Dec 1999 11:24:15 -0500 (EST) From: Bachelorette Subject: Re: FNX Boston?

These recently discovered murders are actually different than the ones referred to in the song. Over the past several years, hundreds of women have disappeared across the border. Some of their bodies have been found, in the desert, rotting away, basically. Many of these women were employees of maquilladoras, or factories (sweatshops, really) that the women are bussed to daily. Some of the suspects have been bus drivers. I personally think that the women were trying to unionize (organize to demand decent wages and working conditions) and that many of them have been murdered for that reason. The government and local authorities have done little to solve the murders. The issue has drawn international attention. The recently discovered mass graves are believed to be drug cartel hits. People who witnessed something, or were party to something related to the mob, and were last in custody of the police, have been found buried in these graves. The police in Juarez are probably under the control of the drug cartels, which is why they have brought in outside organizations such as the FBI to investigate. Just thought you might like to know. :) Does add a spooky twist to the song though, eh? - --Holly Rae (Ozma) hobemis@nmsu.edu ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 02 Dec 1999 23:45:07 -0800 From: "a+bath~of .~:.::glitter::.:~. " Subject: album concept *if you are anti-drugs, then don't read this.* hey everyone. so. i was on acid the other night and i had the brilliant idea of listening to tori. lemme tell you. wow. there are things in tori's music i can't even BEGIN to describe. things so intense and intricate they just go beyond words. anyways. i came up with this theory about the studio albums. and i thought i'd share it with all of you. cuz i think it's kinda cool. and somebody else prolly came up with this before but oh well. great minds... okay. so each album is an element. venus is tori making her roots... finding her strength... venus is the earth growth album... choirgirl is air... the "sound" album... little vortexes of painfully beautiful sound bouncing thru the ethers... pele is fire... lava... sometimes thin, bright steaming orange. sometimes thick and dark... clumpy... messy... destructive. pink is the watery flowing fleeting concepts racing downstream album... earthquakes is the center of the circle. she holds it all together. keeps things from getting too out of control and her presence maintains a balance of emotion. the foundation. a shortened version of what i came up with. but i thought it was pretty cool. utp and i became quite good friends that night actually. her voice is very quiet and she is painfully shy. but once she crawls out of her shell she is probably the most amazing group of girls. indescribable. words don't exist on that plane, you know? anyways, enough babble. talk to you soon! be well. amanda - --- "I could never pay you in fruit, land, money, or blowjobs what your worth as a human being is." :amos: "The world breaks everyone, and afterward, some are strong at the broken places." +hemingway+ :.*rolling*and*.unrolling.*coiling*:emerging:*running*+free+*.: http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Pavilion/2910/rape.html HotBot - Search smarter. http://www.hotbot.com ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 3 Dec 1999 20:19:50 -0500 From: "Kristy" Subject: Re: Tori in Alloy (again!)

We were in row 6, so we were pretty close and these a**holes behind us were screaming sarcastic and ridiculous comments throughout all the shows! There was so much negative energy in the room and I was getting physically sick from it. I get that way. I can pick up vibes from others very easily, some would even call me "psychic" or "empathic". Whatever the case may be, the night did not go well until Tori got on stage. I have to admit that Vertical Horizon was pretty cool, but Marcy Playground depressed me, the lead singer just seemed so SAD up there, and Ben Harper and the Innocent Criminals just isn't my kind of music! To top it off, we had a false fire alarm and as I was ushering my cousin out of the theatre, much to her protest, (I'm very protective of her), I dropped my camera and the battery back broke. I never should have taken her though, she hated the whole show. She's not an EWF, she's a casual listener and Tori chose all covers, singles, and new TVAB songs. I have to marvel over Tori though, she did great out there! Just her and the piano and she was so talkative! I love it when she really interacts with the crowd. I think being with the band takes away from that sometimes. She did have to rush but she was in such a great mood, you could tell. Big smiles! She said "love you back" when we all screamed we loved her. She did her little hand wave thing. She even invited us over for dinner! *smile* It was sooo sweet that it was worth the 3 hours of misery we had to endure. I can't believe Tori played Frog on My Toe! The way she looked up when she said, "I still here you telling me stuff..." I knew she was talking to "Poppa". "Juarez" was amazing! She threw in her lost child and nearly broke my heart. "No Angel Came...for my little girl." Hey Jupiter had me in tears, so did Landslide. All I can say is Tori is beautiful no matter what type of venue she's playing but it's hard to get through anyone when you are waiting for her! It still is, in my opinion, that she should just have one opening band, it works best for her. Sorry this is so long! Hugs to Rich (nice meeting you), Jessica and Scott, Jennifer, Michelle and elf, and Allison (you rock!) Ash: I got pictures!!!! ( I hope they come out ) Jon: Hope I'm not boring you to death! Sorry this is so long guys! If anyone else saw the show, let me know what you think too and if there are any other reviews around.

Tim Roth has also organized the premiere so that it raises awareness, and benefits those who've suffered from incest or abuse. Proceeds from ticket sales will be given to RAINN, the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network. The funds will aid in their hotline (1-800-656-HOPE), which provides free, confidential counseling and 24 hour support. So how can you go to the premiere?
