She's pretty off n on, right? one thing i don't understand about some of these tour requests is how you want her to stick to one forte--like being solo, with band, etc. Tori, as demonstrated on the venus live, does it all--cooling was solo...lil quakes was done as it is originally....and then a few others were done more intensely with band. there's something for everyone. If you demand that she yield to your request just because she did one of your fave songs in a different style previously, that isn't right. She didn't do everything else in a completely different style, she did a FEW THINGS differently. She, like any other musician, alters her music depending on herself. i hope she continues playing with more lively variety like she did w/venus....it adds more spontaneity and probably something more refreshing for her. AJ ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 24 May 2001 16:05:36 -0700 (PDT) From: ashy- Subject: touring, tasha, meet and greets here's my thoughts on the new tour.... it wouldn't surprise me if she brought along the harpsichord or something like that. what sucks is, i think we need to hear some of the tracks from the ablum before we can actually make an educated guess. who knows, maybe 'strange little GIRLS' will have some harpsi, just like 'BOYS for pele' or maybe she's going to do a show like she did on the live in ny rainn vid. she had the piano, the harpsi, and a guitar player. maybe that's her big secret. something could've happened where caton couldn't be on the album, maybe he'll pop up in the tour with just his wailing guitar, no bass, no drums, just tori and caton on some songs. i really wish we knew what the hell she was doing! lol another thing, does anyone know if there are any pics of our baby girl yet? i'd love to see her. and another thing, do you think that tori having tasha with her that she'll be nixing the meet & greets at shows? that wouldn't be nice of her at all lol as far as i'm concerned, i'm not making any expectations for this album. just like neil said 'no matter what you're expecting, it's nothing like what you expect.' i just know that i'm hella excited about new material and a new tour. ashy- - --- Tom xxxxx wrote: > > That would be very cool.

Richard Caldwell Subject: Really Deep Thoughts Fanzine Retires Dear Really Deep Thoughts Subscribers, As you probably know, we've been unable to publish the Really Deep Thoughts fanzine on a regular basis. Because we haven't been able to serve our subscribers as we originally intended, we have decided to retire the fanzine. Originally we planned to complete four more issues of RDT before ceasing publication. But in working on the next issue we found that we simply are not able to give it the time and attention it deserves. We are proud of the work we have done on RDT over the years and we don't wish to close this chapter of our Tori fandom by pushing out bad issues just to fill subscriptions. You and Tori deserve better. Instead we have decided to turn our support to a new fanzine called Little Blue World. The very first issue of LBW will be on it's way to RDT subscribers next week. All RDT subscriptions will now be fulfilled with issues of Little Blue World. Subscribers will receive a postcard this week notifying them of this change. The number of issues remaining on your RDT subscription will be indicated by the number on the top right corner of your address label. RDT subscribers who have recently moved should make sure we have their current address. Please send your address corrections to . If you are an RDT subscriber who as already subscribed to LBW, please send a notice with your full name and address to . This will allow us to make sure your RDT issues are added to your existing subscription. If you have any other questions about your RDT subscription please contact us at . The Really Deep Thoughts web site at http:/www.toriamos.org will continue in operation and will be rededicated to supporting Tori fan organizations of all kinds and Little Blue World in particular. Back issues of the Really Deep Thoughts fanzine will remain available for a limited time or while supplies last. As you know, Tori's new album is scheduled for September. With a new release on the horizon, we're confident that LBW will bring new energy and a fresh perspective that will serve Tori's fans well. As sad as we are to say goodbye to RDT, we are excited to welcome Little Blue World and we hope you will join us in supporting this new fanzine. Sincerely, Missy & Richard Caldwell RDT Editors ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 24 May 2001 15:48:40 -0700 From: "Hill, Renee" Subject: FW: tori Just thought I'd forward this to the list in case not everyone had been to the Dent :) the following is said by Neil Gaiman - sounds very very exciting. #992 of 1006: Neil Gaiman (neilgaiman) Mon 23 Apr '01 (01:19 PM) Okay. I've heard the twelve tracks of STRANGE LITTLE GIRLS. I'll post something coherent later. For now, let me just say that whatever you're expecting, it's not what you expect; whatever you're imagining, it's not what you imagine. And I *knew* what to expect -- and it wasn't what I expected. And yes, it's astonishing, and powerful, and scary, and cool. And if I'm good, maybe tonight I'll get to hear it again. Neil (And yes, if anyone wants to repost this anywhere, feel free -- I'd hate to see people arguing over paraphases of what I might have said.) #998 of 1006: Neil Gaiman (neilgaiman) Mon 23 Apr '01 (06:21 PM) More on Strange Little Girls. Sat up with Marcel, listening to the b-sides (all lovely, and in each case I could see why it wasn't an album track -- although one of them might be a single in its own right), and then he played me four or five of the album tracks again. It got better. And I was blown away the first time. I don't really want to say anything specific and tangible about this album, because it's not my place to talk about it -- it's Tori's and she'll talk about it when the time's right. And you'll hear it then, too. But I will say that it feels in many ways like her first album as a grown-up -- as a mother, maybe; and that it's both her most accessible album (there's one track which made me think of nothing so much as a great lost track from Little Earthquakes) and also -- especially in the sequence of the last four or five songs, her most painful. There are a couple of songs that are real singles. There's one song that will be a basement remix before you can say 'stains' . And there's one mammorth of a song that isn't yet finished, but even in the unfinished version it 's audacious and wild. She does things with her voice I've not heard before. And the arrangements and musicianship are astonishing. And, as I said before, it's not what you expect - *whatever* you expect. ------------------------------ End of precious-things-digest V6 #89 ************************************
