I saw you post on the board that you were not sure is Tori came to the DC area for the SLG tour. She did. I saw her in October when she came to DC at the DAR Constitution Hall- it was marvelous. She played there on Saturday and Sunday. Cheers, Mariam ekrone1 wrote: I do not remember if Tori came to WHFS (Washington dc metro area/ Baltimore)for SLG but she did for FTCGH. However, HFS has changed a bit, it has become harder alternative rock, and I'm not sure they would even play her music anymore. I think she should go on love line. It would be nice. She was great in MTV2, and made the host look sort of unintellegent. Maybe it was the writers' fault. e ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 9 Sep 2002 10:20:21 EDT From: ToriphileMaria@aol.com Subject: [SW SPOILER] Re: Amber Waves Mystery Lyrics-- Also, FYI- Main Entry: [1]se7pia Pronunciation: 'sE-pE-& Function: noun Etymology: Latin, cuttlefish, ink, from Greek sEpia Date: 1821 1 a : the inky secretion of a cuttlefish b : a brown melanin-containing pigment from the ink of cuttlefishes 2 : a print or photograph of a brown color resembling sepia 3 : a brownish gray to dark olive brown color - -- Im thinking Tori is refering to the print or photograph meaning of this word...a strange word, I think, nonetheless. ;) In a message dated 09/09/2002 12:22:17 AM Central Daylight Time, owner-precious-things-digest@smoe.org writes: > >What the heck is Tori singing in the middle of this song? > >Something about swans and finning glass and CPO or some > >nonsense!

I don't see them being all that interested in letting people like us know about this stuff in advance. Tori attracts so many people to radio station interviews just so they can meet her outside that they'd have to hire security all the time, and I don't think they've been doing that so far. A couple weeks ago she seemed to be on the road with just Johnny and a personal assistant. From the sound of the CFNY Toronto interview it was a mob scene up there, and she was running late anyway, and I have to wonder if she even managed to talk to hardly anyone on her way into or out of the station. (I'd be curious to hear anyone's experiences if they went up to CFNY, or to any of the other radio station interviews over the recent weeks.) I think the only way we're gonna know about this radio interview promo schedule is if people happen to hear their local radio stations mention anything about them a day or two in advance. I strongly expect she will not be doing any of these until the 9/11 remembrances have faded, but I'm anticipating some serious radio interview schedules--as in up to four stations per day--at least here on the East Coast. We may not hear about the Top 40 stations in advance because folks currently interested in Tori may not listen to as much of that kind of radio as they listen to other formats, but I know they'll also be doing promo on college and various other formats of commercial radio. All I can suggest is that folks interested in hearing interviews from elsewhere keep their ears open for announcements coming from their home markets saying Tori will be on such-and-such program the following day, what not, and hope people in other locations will do the same. Be seeing you, Richard Handal, H.G. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 9 Sep 2002 23:10:35 -0400 From: "camaris" Subject: Re: [SW SPOILER] Re: Amber Waves Mystery Lyrics-- Hello all. :) I hope everyone is well. I'd just like to add my interp of this part of the song... (scarlet's walk spoilers below...) Based on the things Tori has said, and the other implications of the song, I believe that those lines are referring to the porn producer, and the new starlet he has moved on to. This is a blip from the "bio" formerly posted on the Dent and now found elsewhere, that seems to support my interpretation: "She's still a young woman, perhaps in her late 20s. But the porn baron who made her a star has moved on to the next ingenue." I see it as the producer eyeballing another woman through his glass (what ARE those little things you use to look at film called?) and imagining how she's going to look on the big screen. Anyway, that's how *I* see it. That's the beauty of Tori's music; everyone can have their own take on what it is she's talking about. I don't believe there's one, single way to look at anything.=) take care, carrie - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Beth :~P" To: Sent: Monday, September 09, 2002 2:33 PM Subject: Re: [SW SPOILER] Re: Amber Waves Mystery Lyrics-- > I think this means his semen. > > then you started to guess > there was someone else > through his flint glass > seen all of you > immersed in his sepia > > This girl was having sex and she didn't realize someone was watching them. > They were testing her out for porn or maybe even filming without her > knowledge. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 09 Sep 2002 20:17:48 -0700 From: shaman@eskimo.com Subject: Re: Amber Waves - Mystery Lyrics On Sun, 08 Sep 2002 12:33:23 -0400, you wrote: >he could light you up >and summon every swan to the lakeside >off to cabo san lucas >for some op-ti-cal stimulus >then you started to guess >there was someone else >through his flint glass >seen all of you >immersed in his sepia That's the part. all right! ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 09 Sep 2002 20:37:52 -0700 From: shaman@eskimo.com Subject: Re: Amber Waves - Mystery Lyrics On Sun, 08 Sep 2002 12:33:23 -0400, you wrote: >he could light you up >and summon every swan to the lakeside >off to cabo san lucas Ok, this part she sings right. >for some op-ti-cal stimulus She mushes the "cal" into "stimulus" which is confusing but she does indeed sing these words. >then you started to guess >there was someone else OK, this was always obvious what she's singing anyway. >through his flint glass she clearly doesn't pronounce ANY T. It clearly sounds more like "flin' an' glass" >seen all of you >immersed in his sepia She mispronounces it as "seepio" but then she still never learned how to pronounce "silicon" either. She seems to be very bad at english pronunciations! She keeps singing "silicone" which make jack shit of sense since it completely impossible to build any chip out of rubber let alone one that would make any sense in the context of the song. The song was written by an english guy and he knew how to say it. All it really does is make me laugh when she messes up junior HS words like silicon. For such a fairly good lyricist she seems to lack a basic linguistic ability. ------------------------------ End of precious-things-digest V7 #206 *************************************
