Or seeing as it was a b-side was it okay? being a woj-of-little-memory, i may not be the best person to answer, but my recollection is that her cover was reasonably well-received. her rendering of the song is so dramatically different from the original that i think most folks -- both in and out of the music industry -- were just plain surprised and didn't think to get their panties wadded about it. if you can find some articles or interviews from that time period on the web, i'm sure you can get a pretty factual read on how people reacted to it. woj ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 3 Mar 2000 15:15:32 EST From: Ange816@aol.com Subject: trends Something has been bothering me lately. It somewhat has to do with tori. I hear you guys talking about people getting into tori, and then i hear some people saying they don't really like it because they don't like her getting too popular or whatever the reasons. Well, I have some friends that never ever listened or heard tori, and once they noticed that I listened to her nonstop, they got her cd's and they're just being followers sort of. I have at least three friends doing this, one who I brought to her 5 1/2 weeks tour for company, and it's really bothering me. I just don't like her to be a trend like Britney Spears and all them. Am I just selfish when it comes to Tori or is this normal? I know this is pretty dumb to be asking, but I figured since this is made to talk about Tori, then you guys wouldn't mind. And also, I can't really ask anyone else because I feel sort of stupid....and the fact that the ones who I'd be talking about it to are the ones doing it. I guess I just think that if my "prep" friends start listening to her, she'll become a trend. The thing that bothers me is that they don't even appreciate her music. Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I was just wondering. Thanks! ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 03 Mar 2000 23:08:30 +0100 From: "Igramul (EWF)" Subject: Re: way back when...Re: Regarding "Hyper CDs" and their hoops... > How was tori received when she covered Smells Like Teen Spirit way back on > the Crucify EP?

Here is what German newspapers wrote after Tori performed smells like teen spirits in concert: *sorry for my english* "Highlights: Cornflake girl and smells like teen spirits, the requiem for the dead Nirvana singer Kurt Cobain" Hamburger Morgenpost, 11. April 1994 "With the encore came the big hit from Amos: Cornflake girl. Suddenly she plays smells like teen spirits, which belongs to Amos' set for some time, but through the death from Nirvana-boss Curt Cobain a few days ago it becomes a very different context. Before the applause thunders there is for two seconds an unbearable silence in the large room." Nassauische Presse, 14. April 1994 This article was headlined "for two seconds there was only silence of death in the large room" Through Tori is becames clear, what a potential this song has. What a great song, if performed by Tori, thats my opinion :-) I myself do have another question regarding thouse hyber CD. I downloaded the xing player from the net, but it doesn't play the file, what can I do?? One way I tried was to generate a new netscape profile, which I only used to play this hyper CD. This installed a plugin on my computer, but the CD seems to need something else, because I only am able to play this file, while I'm online. I tried to cache this something, which worked well for bliss and 1000 oceans, but was lost, when I tried to play concertina the same way. Now I can play non of the hyper CDs offline, which makes me upset. :-( Inke - --------------------------------------------***----------- ****** Your troubles * * * cannot climb, * * * walk or roam. ****** or cycle - -----***-------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ End of precious-things-digest V5 #53 ************************************
