I was so glad to see some Robbie Williams talk here. I have become OBSESSED with him and I can't figure out why. I kind of like his music and I think he is hot, but I dont know where the obsession comes from. I have thought famous people were hotter than him before and never got obsessed. I hope I'm not becoming a super-psycho fan. I NEED HIM!!! Okay, enough with the wierdness. I did make my husband go out and buy me his CD today. I feel the need to share my top ten CDs with all of you, so here it is: 1. Tori Amos-Little Earthquakes 2. Alanis Morissette-Jagged Little Pill 3. Tori Amos-Unplugged 4. NIN-Pretty Hate Machine 5. U2-Best Of 6. Jewel-Spirit 7. Tori Amos-Tori Stories (box set...does that count as 4?...oh well) 8. Joshua Kadison-Painted Desert Serenade 9. Fiona Apple-Tidal 10. Robbie Williams-The Ego Has Landed (so I could have him with me at all times) About Tori being pregnant, which someone was talking about. At the Minneapolis concert in September, she looked like she was growing a little belly, an early pregnant belly. Towards the end of the concert, she stood up, rubbed her belly and smiled. I swear she was trying to say she was pregnant, but I'm pretty sure she's not. I've seen her many times since then and, unless she's hiding it well, she sure isn't pregnant. Oops! I got the DJ on a local radio station to announce that she was right after the concert. I thought she was. I don't really have an interesting way to end this so, bye for now. -o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o [top] Date: Sun, 2 Jan 2000 19:58:15 EST From: MeganSara1234@aol.com To: rdtrn@torithoughts.org Subject: Me Again I'm posting again...so what? Thank you to all who welcomed me. I think something about Megans likes something about Tori. I have a good friend named Megan too who is also a big Tori fan. I have dyed red hair. The best compliment in the world...I have been told many times that I look like Tori. At the Boys For Pele concert a security guard grabbed me (hard) and said "Oh my God! Has anybody ever told you you look just like Tori?" One time I almost got attacked at a party by a guy, who loved Tori, because he thought I was Tori. He was also very very drunk. :sigh: Thank you. -o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o [top] Date: Sun, 02 Jan 2000 17:49:43 -0800 (PST) From: Jorge Fernandez <jorge518@go.com> Subject: Unidentified subject!

So my boyfriend called me last night. Because we listened to it here he went out and bought Choirgirl and the Raspberry Swirl single because it has the video and a few remixes on it. Cool huh? He already had little earthquakes and the hey jupiter ep, but he bought Choirgirl. So I'm listening to the top 40 stations Top 50 songs of the year. They picked Livin' La Vida Loca as the number one song of the year. That's kind crazy. Of course last year it was My Heart Will Go On. I listened to Ricky's cd and did not like it all. I liked Shake You Bon Bon but not even the song with Madonna appealed to me. Oh well. I hope everyone's well! *hugs* john ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com -o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o [top] Date: Sun, 02 Jan 2000 20:10:04 PST From: "Laura Heywood" <laurahey@hotmail.com> To: rdtrn@torithoughts.org Subject: another "patented list" from laurahey 1. happy y2k!!!

I have been out of town and unable to get online for a while, so this stuff may be all over the Internet, but just in case, I want to spread the good news. First, a large portion of the reader letters section is about the Tori article. Unfortunately, many of them are from readers who didn't catch on to Maureen Callahan's apparent bias and who were just happy to see Tori in another magazine. One was from a guy who said he finds Tori scary but strangely erotic. :-) There were two from concerned fans, including Pat Kochie's husband Tom. For some reason they titled the part about Tori "Earth Girl First!" (?) Anyway, in what is fairly rare for Spin contributors, the writer of the controversial article actually made a little reply: "I meant in no way to slight Pat's work. But most of her dolls do look like Tori, and when I said the same to Pat, she replied, 'That's what everyone says.'" Also, Spin has this really hilarious little section they do with their reader letters where they claim to break down their letters into categories, such as "5% Blink-182 concertgoers who 'really dug seeing their pseudo-punk-rock penises.'" This is always one of my favorite parts of a Spin issue. Anyway, it usually only dedicates one or two statistics to a particular subject or artist. This month's dedicated 6 to Tori: 42% Deluded Toriphiles who claim to write "on behalf of Tori" 99% Grateful subscribers who "thank the Lord that Fred Durst wasn't posing with that tree" 50% Disturbed Tori-heads who make dolls out of their feces .01% An Amos aficianado who wanted "to crucify myself after reading your blasphemous tripe" 25% Tasteless new-schoolers who think Christina Aguilera is "the next generation's Tori Amos" 25% Unaware old-schoolers who didn't realize Amos recorded anything after Y Kant Tori Read Now to the really exciting news!!! In the 1999 Spin Reader Poll, Tori won lots and lots of titles: Best solo artist (but they called her the Cornflake Girl again and speculate that her win was due to fan-club campaigning) Most underrated Second best album (just under The Fragile) Favorite Spin cover ("The tree-humping photo wasn't even on the cover!") Best live act Sex goddess :-) So there...

I hope that everyone had a great new year's, and that your holidays were good. Mine were good, and new years was much more fun than I had anticipated. Before we went out, we (my boyfriend and I) spent the day watching the new year's celebrations around the globe on PBS. It was just cool watching all the different cultures ring in the new year, although Singapore having a bunch of folks covering "Livin' La Vida Loca" was personally a low point for me... I have about 10 digests to get through, so I'll be behind for a bit, but that's the way I like it... enough material so I can read at work when things get slow here. First things first - I finally picked up Strangers in Paradise #28, and saw you listed there, Jess! Dont you just love the paper dolls included this time around? oooh, russ commented about the harry potter books. I loved them too! I hear that the author is making a movie about the series too, and she has *complete* control. she's using no name actors and is going to make everything live action. Think of Quidditch... she's going to do her best to make it as realistic as possible without much computer animation. Ought to be interesting. BTW, I'm very very openly pagan, and I think the series is fabulous, having both sides (good, evil) portrayed. Hell, CS Lewis, one of the most educated and well respected Christian writers ever, wrote a freaken' fantasy series with good witches and what not (ever hear of Narnia...).

"Speaking of trolls, as I'm catching up, I'm noticing some unprovoked attacks on people. Koba said that he doesn't really see me as someone who can be bullied, but I have felt that way, Wild One, in the past. There were attacks on me that brought me to tears because they came from no where, or from stupid misunderstandings. There are attacks on others here, who I know personally to be terrific people, that really saddens me. It" actually, i discovered this as i went along. "group) have unsubbed. And when things get boring, Don't bash Handal. Richard has never done anything negative to this group. He has gotten angry and responded in that manner, just like everyone does. Sometimes he comes off as a "know-it-all", but that's because he does know it. His musical intellect blows me away, and his loyalty as a friend puts me to shame. Even Tori respects him and his ways. If Tori likes him, why shouldn't we? ;) But seriously, like him or don't." bethey comes across as saying something interesting, that i almost agree with, despite the fact it pains me to do so. see, i believe that he has done negative things on rdt. and regardless of whether or not he's a "know-it-all," with the powers of internet resources, any half-brained clod can be a "musical intellect." they're cool, but the ones without the "know-it-all" attitudes are even cooler. really. and luckily, i know you're joking about liking and respecting handal, even if tori might. "But don't use Richard as the scapegoat of this list. Why should we when there are so many others that we can bash happily, like Brittany Spears? ;) *did that piss anyone off? ;)*" despite the fact that i have my own reasons to think handal is hypocritical and opportunistic, i DO have to concur that some of the unwarranted personal attacks on several people here recently sucked (not just to him, either). it pains me to say this, really. but in all fairness, if you're going to go after someone, why get personal about it? that's like lighting a cigarette with a blowtorch. i mean, i wouldn't invite handal over for a beer even if tori were to blow me, but i at least try to wait for him to open his mouth first. that alone is usually more than enough ammo. apparently, it looks like mobile fidelity sound lab, better known as the guys who gave us those cool but expensive gold cd's, are going out of business. so start stocking up. ooh, vernon. oh, god, you're so burnin', wild koba ****************************************************************** david y. kobayashi new york law school thrak75@aol.com http://www.mzachary.com/wildkoba "... it is nevertheless often true that one man's vulgarity is another's lyric." -j. harlan ****************************************************************** -o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o [top] Date: Tue, 04 Jan 2000 21:32:49 +1100 From: Brian Cooper <bcooper@enternet.com.au> To: rdtrn@torithoughts.org Subject: She's so mean, but I don't care One of life's great little mysteries... why do they make scented toilet paper?

You'll make Keithers jealous. >tell me you >listen to Letters to Cleo (for some reason i group those two together) No. I must be the only Veruca Salt fan that doesn't. Putting them together isn't much of a stretch as they supported each other. If you can add that VS pinched LTC's drummer Stacy Jones, there is a strong link. I hear the new VS album "Resolver" will be out on April 4. I know a guy that's heard it and he says it kick ass, though he is biased. Nina Gordon's solo album was supposed to be out this month, but it looks like sliding again. I've heard some of her songs from last year's Lilith Fair and they're pretty strong. Both VS' and Nina's albums were supposed to be out over nine months ago, but the record companies keep stiffing them. >arg. okay, ppl with laptop computers, wtf do you do when your touch-sensor >mouse thing jumps all over the place? i can't control where the freaking >thing goes. arg. we've had it "fixed" three times already, but it starts up >again about a month after we get the puter back. grr. If it's been "fixed" three times, check out your state's consumer laws, as it sounds like a lemon. If there's a port on the back for a PS/2 mouse, use it or a serial mouse around the home if possible to save wear and tear. Personally I can't stand those touch pads. Try sliding your finger slower and use a very light touch. JessiPaff (TM): >and damn are they comfortable. I have had a red pair of long thermals for >about 2 years now - I wear 'em during "that time of the month".... Sheesh, first digest of the year and we're into crotch scum threads already. I can see it all going downhill from here. Becky... >Probably 50% or more of Tori's meet and >greets consist of dyed red heads ;) Only 50%? I could have sworn it would have been more like 70%. Can't really comment though as I've never been to one. Add about 10% natural redheads and you'd think the whole world was red. Mind you, from commercials on Aussie TV, you'd think the population is 20% redhead. Petulant Kate wrote... >*bratty whiney tone* Why won't Tori come to Australia? Every time any >OTHER American band/singer comes here, they always talk about how much >they love Australia and how wonderful it is... Maybe because last time she was here she had her stiletto shoes up against the bulkhead of an aircraft, even after she was told not to, hence getting the latex glove treatment from the police. Oh, that was Courtney Love. Sheesh, if Courtney can come back after that, why can't Tori come here? I dunno, it always beats me. They should look at it as a working holiday. Do a show here, take a week off there, do another show. How hard can it be? I'd do it. But then again, nobody's ever asked me.

WHile there were some similarities, I didn't find them as "stricking" as alot of media has made them out to be. YEah, they were both psuedo docs....but thats like saying Psycho and Nightmare on elm street are identical. And personally, when I saw Last Broadcast, back about a year ago, - keeping in mind it is short and made for even less money than TBWP, I still found it greatly lacking. I just thought those HAxan guys gave a lot more bang for their production buck, while all I've heard from the makers of TLB is alot of bitching and moaning about why they missed out on all the fame. hey, dem's da' breaks, life ain't fair. Oh, and according to other sources, TBWP idea was made written about 2 years before TLB - for a undergrad project by one of the guys at UCF. At least, that's what Time magazine said....

Thanks for the kind words, Beth, but I've found it amusing--and telling--when folks have given me a hard time here out of the blue. What makes *me* so important that I would be singled out? Must be *something*, huh? That's me: Mr. Important Guy. So, anyone who feels better by being nasty to me should feel free to lay it on. It just shows the folks who couldn't already see it for themselves the sort of people who you really are deep down inside. :-) I *do* find the whole scenario to be an enormous waste of time for all concerned, though--especially for anyone who thinks there ought to be [gasp] *content* in the conversation around here in addition to the seemingly bottomless boatloads of hormones. But, who among those people cares about anyone other than themself and their group of friends, right? Pretty fucking self-absorbed. Be seeing you, Richard Handal, H.G. The less one thinks, the more one speaks. --French proverb -o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o [top] Date: Tue, 04 Jan 2000 10:51:35 PST From: "John Kwiatkowski" <stickboy0@hotmail.com> To: rdtrn@torithoughts.org Subject: 915 stuff so I checked my wu name... Inscrutable Drama Queen. That's too fucking funny because before Aubry changed it, the banner on my cell phone said Drama Queen. And my friend bought me a sticker for my car that says drama queen. That really cracked me up. Did anyone check Tori's Wu Name? I did. It's Inebriated Assistant. I really got a laugh out of the article about Tori, Courtney, Trent and Marilyn that Koba sent the link to. Bethey said "Why should we when there are so many others that we can bash happily, like Brittany Spears? ;) *did that piss anyone off? ;)*" I'm listening to Brittany right now Bethey and I'm pissed! How dare you bash her amazing musical talent! :p Actually I think the cd is pretty good. But then again I also bought Melanie C's solo album last night and I really like it too. Northern Star is such an awesome song. It's funny, I've mentioned how my musical taste changes with the people I date. For once I'm influencing the other person. Aubry had LE but I got him to buy Choirgirl, The Rasperry Swirl single, and Jackie's Strength (with the bee sides). Of course, he's influencing mine too. I was already listening to a bunch of teeny bopper music but now I'm listening to tons of it. These are the cds i brought with me to listen to in the backroom at work today. Cher - Believe, Brittany Spears, Melanie C - Northern Star, Backstreet Boys - Millenium, Jennifer Paige (i just rediscovered this one and i love it), Sheryl Crow - Tuesday Night Music Club. Okay, so the Sheryl Crow is my saving grace. Well, not to some people on the list, but oh well. We can always bash Brittany *grin* But anyway I'm going to actually work now and stop playing on the net on the clock *yeah right* *hugs* john 'sometimes i run, sometimes i hide, sometimes i'm scared of you, but i really want is to hold you tight, treat you right, be with you day and night, baby all i need is time...' ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com o-o-o o-o-o o-o-o o-o-o o-o-o o-o-o o-o-o o-o-o o-o-o o-o-o *** Oh, Lord, Please Don't Burn Us digest *** To POST messages to this list: <rdtrn@torithoughts.org> Can't figure out how to SUB, UNSUB, or CHANGE ADDRESSES?
