She has included parts of "Hyperballad" when doing "Butterfly" live on the 1996 tour. I'm assuming that's what your MP3 is of. I don't recall dates off the top of my head, though, can anyone bail me out here and remind me when she used "Hyperballad" during "Butterfly"? /nm ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 18 Dec 2000 10:46:55 -0500 From: recount dracula Subject: Re: celeb duets when we last left our heroes, Dracovixen@aol.com exclaimed: >I think she did something with Bjork once.

Or did she just sit with her on the piano bench? I think that you're thinking of the 23 Oct 1996 show, where Tori broke down during "Space Dog". Tori left the stage, then came back and did some more songs. Beenie came out and sat with Tori during MaaG. /nm ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 18 Dec 2000 11:10:44 -0500 From: recount dracula Subject: me & you audrey has added a mp3 of "me & you", from the film "hand of fate", to the diagnosed sounds section of the here. in my head website. the mp3 was created from a cassette recording of the audio part of the film so it's not the greatest quality, but the song is really quite lovely. download instructions are at . the file is actually located in a myplay winamp locker. in case people have trouble with myplay, i've also put the file in my secret collection of mp3s at . woj ------------------------------ End of precious-things-digest V5 #272 *************************************
