Hope you find them entertaining. brian, i really enjoyed these reviews. and i've read way too many reviews of the shows this tour. you touch on the things that make shows memorable for me. it's about what's going on in my head and in the air more than the setlist. i like the way you describe these things. > This may sound odd but throughout the show I had the vivid sensation > of having every molecule of my being slightly separated from one > another so that I was a Brian-shaped, porous mist through which > Tori's music flowed.

I notice that there isn't much *nod* i get that. i've always remembered tori's quote about her shows being like a personal map. sometimes i find myself walking in the map, sometimes i am the map, sometimes the map is crumpled up in a corner and i keep reaching for it but i just can't find it. but in the perfect moments it is definitely all those things you describe as well. :) > The other, at least for me, was Hotel.

(i actually ran into rantz at a neil gaiman reading in chicago a couple years ago. he was wearing the rec.music.tori-amos shirt, and while this was before i posted much on rmta i recognized it, and him. stupidly said, "hey, you're rantz!" and he said, "hey yeah, i am!" or something inane like that. that was a weird night, i kept seeing people i thought i knew who turned out to be people i had never met or would somewhat know later.) > From: "Tony Fernandes" > Subject: Top 10 favorite albums ah, the desert island list. hrm. this is always a rough one. tonight? lesse... in no particular order... - -"the mask and the mirror," loreena mckennit - -"toward the within," dead can dance - -"boys for pele," tori amos - -"vespertine," bjork - -my awesome dar williams mix (or, if that doesn't count, "mortal city") - -"after the gold rush," neil young - -"august and everything after," counting crows - -"fumbling toward ecstasy," sarah mclachlan - -"ten," pearl jam - -"hips and makers," kristin hersh and i always forget people, and the desert island list is actually a rather different animal than the favorite list, but oh well. and, oh! exciting news! i won tickets to the soundstage recording in chicago on friday. i'm thrilled. i've never been to a tv recording before... i'm not expecting an overly-exciting setlist, but it's an audience of 300 people and that's just... going to be incredible. i had a pretty negative experience when i saw tori in madison last month (it was just ... an off day. an unexpected trip, i thought i was only going to see the chicago shows on this tour. just a weird experience), so i'm hoping friday will turn that around. i'll report back if you all are interested. :) andrea (verbose today.) ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 28 Apr 2003 00:12:18 -0700 From: Brian K Tanaka Subject: Re: Brian's reviews On Sun, Apr 27, 2003 at 08:40:10PM -0700, Beth Winegarner boldly wrote: > > You may remember that Violet and I breezed in to our seats about three > minutes before Tori came onstage that night - we tapped you on the shoulder > and confessed we'd gotten very very lost on the way to the venue - by > FOLLOWING the venue's web-site directions!

I've only just discovered Tori Amos (I think I must have been on the same planet as Chris Cazzidy); I've bought 4 of her albums in the last month; and currently I'd have 3 of them all the top 10, but it's too soon to know for sure where they would fit in. So, for a non - Tori Top 10: 1) Bruce Springsteen: 'Tunnel Of Love' 2) Cocteau Twins: 'Milk & Kisses' 3) The Cure: 'Disintegration' 4) Dead Can Dance 'Within The Realm Of A Dying Sun' 5) Fields of the Nephilim: 'Elizium' 6) Tom Waites 'Blue Valentine' 7) Mike Oldfield: 'The Songs Of Distant Earth' 8) Meatloaf: 'Bat Out Of Hell' 9) The Mission: 'Carved In Sand' 10) The Cranberries 'No Need To Argue' I've limited it so that each artist can only have one album, otherwise it would all be Bruce Springsteen, The Cocteau Twins & The Cure. As for Tori, currently my favourites, in order, are: 1) Choirgirl Hotel 2) Boys For Pele 3) Scarlet's Walk 4) To Venus and Back I've just ordered 'Little Earthquakes' and 'Under The Pink' Regards Mark ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 28 Apr 2003 12:01:07 -0700 From: Brian K Tanaka Subject: Re: Top 10 favorite albums Grf.

It doesn't have the energy or political messages of their other works, but I feel like it reaches in a bit more. I think if there's a thread through any of my selections, it's their underworld overtones.

While I enjoy Death Cab & Modest Mouse's entire catalogues, I went by which albums I liked best as a complete entity. I feel like a lot of the songs on The Photo Album are crafted more artfully, but I don't digest it as a whole. I'm really loving the new record by Ben Gibbard's side project, The Postal Service. It's called "Give Up" and is worth buying. They're touring right now, too. > Actual Tori Content! --> The night before last I had a Tori dream. > She was playing a small, intimate show.

I've owned it for five years now and it's still revealing new things to me with each listen. It's testament to Tori's gift as a songwriter that she can conceal so much and not render the work impenetrable - Pele is the kind of album that requires many listens to appreciate what's in there. Tori - From The Choirgirl Hotel Ani DiFranco - Revelling/Reckoning - very difficult to choose the best of her cds, partly because there are so many. Eels - Electro-Shock Blues Hole - Celebrity Skin Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream PJ Harvey -To Bring You My Love Patti Smith - LAND 1975-2002 - I only discovered Patti Smith last year, and I've been slowly getting her back catalogue, but this cd just beats them all. It's incredible. Bjork - Vespertine - unlike anything else I've ever heard). Placebo - Black Market Music (although their new one Sleeping With Ghosts may soon overtake it). Danny ps - Chris - there are a few people from the UK on the list, I'm one of them! Welcome, and I'm sorry to hear that you missed the shows a few months back. As for getting live shows on video, the Live in New York video is stocked at most HMVs I've seen, and you can order it from MVC too.
