There is an art to putting together the songs themselves to tell a sonic story and she used to be so into fretting about every song and the order, and now it just feels like a big "here ya go, you do what you want with 'em". I have listened to the album, and am actually debating for the first time whether or not to actually buy it!! Odds are I will pre order it tonight in order to get the password for the ticketmaster presale - marketing victim ;) but there are songs I like on here but nothing grabs me emotionally yet and there are tons of moments I'd wished she had recorded or produced differently. Having said that I do feel that there is a bit more of an effort from her to experiment with sound!! Even though it sounds as if the most influential sounds came from Twin Peaks!!! I am glad there is discssion on the list! miss it!! - -ellen - --- On Fri, 5/15/09, Lisa Zwick wrote: From: Lisa Zwick Subject: Re: [pt] new cd To: "Laura D'Amico Holzmann" , precious-things@smoe.org Date: Friday, May 15, 2009, 11:17 PM Cn't say much about it yet, since all I heard were the 30sec clips. But I do have to say...I appreciate that Tori always releases FULL cds with 17 songs. Some artists release cds once they have 30-40 min worth of new material, but she always gives us our money's worth! - -Lisa - -----Original Message----- >From: Laura D'Amico Holzmann >Sent: May 15, 2009 10:45 PM >To: precious-things@smoe.org >Subject: [pt] new cd > > >I am only 5 songs into the record (mp3's) and I am getting very >excited about it.

It's just like general sales. Sometimes you can get good seats, but honestly, most of the time you can't. The best seats I've found were ones that went on sale way past the general sale - meaning weeks or months later. And not only for Tori, but for other artist, like Madonna - I bought tickets right next to the stage months after the general sale. Just remember - there's no such thing as a sold out show. ;) As far as the new album - I LOVE it!

I love how Simon described choirgirl/JS!! RE: iTunes presale/ticketmaster I *thought* I pre-ordered but turns out I didn't due to some glitch or something and have been going back and forth with iTunes about it...not that I expect but I must try. Last tour I got the best seats ever at both shows I went to via the pre-sale. It may have been due to luck but I like at least having the option to hunt for tickets that day. - -ellen - --- On Wed, 5/20/09, Amy Wasnidge wrote: From: Amy Wasnidge Subject: Re: [pt] new cd To: "Amadness" Cc: precious-things@smoe.org Date: Wednesday, May 20, 2009, 9:12 AM I definitely think the presale is hit or miss.
