[What this person was refering to was discussion of the instrumentation as opposed to discussion of the lyrics, because there was quite a bit of the latter going on. (And of course now, finding a discussion on either thing here is rare.)] In 1995, the use of the Navajo language for top secret messages in WWII. In 1998, we were discussing sex (so what else is new?). Also, a member asked "are you suuure 'lord of the files' is a typo?" In 1999, a few people were discussing whether Tori had recorded her most significant work yet. In 2001, the start of a thread on the Timothy McVeigh execution, and (separately) Puppetry of The Penis made an appearance. [ =======================> In RDT History <======================= ] On June 15th in 1993, there were a couple of posts about emotion in Tori's studio recordings and live performances, with one member commenting: IMHO, it seems that the concerts allow her more freedom to express the songs ~exactly~ as she feels them at that moment, which gives them a kind of raw energy quality, and to me, more life. In 1994, the lyrics from the 'Bitchin' t-shirt were posted. And someone posted I've managed to speak to her sound engineer, Mark, at both Boston shows this year. He's very nice, and he said that they record every show just in case." Also, one member tried to describe a particular piano solo thusly: It sounded like a garbage truck with square wheels rolling unevenly, gracefully, and inexorably downhill. That's the best description I can think of. Of course, that description covers most of her solos, I guess.... In 1995, quite a bit of detail on pre-Christian crucifixion. Someone posted "TOP 10 SLOGANS FOR AN RDT T-SHIRT," with their #1 being : "Unsubscribe me". And as anextra-added-nastiness bonus, the ever-popular Hobbes proceeded to purposely re-post a complete unedited digest back to the list, infuriating members and kicking the general Hobbes-hatred up several more notches. In 1996, discussion of Alanis's 'You Oughta Know". In 2000, we had a revival of the "elements of each album" theory, incorporating TVAB.

Monsieur Matt Smith wrote: "1. enough already with the surveys" No! More surveys! They're usually interesting to read, so as long as the person writing them puts some thought into them. Even though I don't fill them out, I like them all the same. In other news, today I read Douglas Adams, had a sandwich, played in a fountain, saw a movie, got dizzy while watching said movie, looked at fish, checked myself out to infinity in a triangle of mirrors, and then cashed around some exotic and endangered birds while making foolish bird noises. All in all, not a bad day's work for it being only 7 pm. But now I'm strangly tired and I want to go upstairs and listen to music and daydream about conquering demon hoards and faerie trickery being brought down upon the sad and sniveling streets of New York. I bought the Rasputina Album "Thanks for the Ether" yesterday at Borders. My review of the album is such: The album was okay, but it was the worst of all three in the fact that, this being the first musical offering they had made, it had very little percussion in the background and it was mostly monotonous. Not to say that the album did not have some very shiny gems; quite the contrary. Songs like "Transylvanian Concubine", "Any Old Actress", and "Dig Ophelia" were quite wonderful, but for the most part I wasn't nearly as impressed as I was with "HOW WE QUIT THE FOREST", which is officially my favorite Rasputina album to date. I go sleep now, maybe, or else boil spinach. How Now, Brown Cow?

(snippety) ... so... i'm wondering if anyone has any advice they would be willing to share I have really been here in the last year or so myself. In college, I weighed 115 to 125 depending upon how often I hit the gym. I'm 5'9" so this made me about a size 2 to 6 depending upon the clothes. After getting out of school, I went into my cushy desk job, with lots of sitting around and expense account dinners. And the weight slowly crept up on me (and up.. and up). I hopped on the scale last spring and was horrified to find that I weighed 231 lbs (!) . I was looking for a new job at the time and didn't come close to fitting into any of the suits I had already, and frankly had a hard time finding anything decent looking that fit at all properly. I was pretty unhappy with this, and didn't really see how I was going to get back to anything approaching normal. Last summer, I bought this book called 'Body for Life' by a guy named Bill Phillips. I live in Boulder, CO, and this book is pretty popular out here since Bill lives in Golden, CO. It just caught my eye one day, so I picked it up, but didn't seriously read it for a while. Anyways, last October, I finally read it and decided to put it into play, and since then have lost 80+ pounds. It's a combination of reasonable (to me at least) eating, and pretty intensive weight training and aerobic workouts. My first couple of weeks with it were rough, since my eating habits were pretty crappy, and I was way sedentary, but after that it just became a habit. So this is what worked for me, and I should hit my target weight of 125-130 lbs sometime this summer. I know that sounds thin for 5'9' but I am a really small boned person. I don't think I'll see 115 again due to the muscle mass I have put on while doing this. I calculated my BMI (Body Mass Index, I think) the other day, and I fall within normal limits now. I was categorized as morbidly obese when I started, so this is pretty cool. The thing I didn't count on was how much BETTER I would feel. I started it pretty much to look better and to fit into the clothes I want to wear, so the feeling of better health was an unexpected bonus. cheers - Rochelle -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: Thu, 13 Jun 2002 21:49:18 -0400 From: Cyndi S Crawford <cyndi.crawford@juno.com> To: rdtrn@torithoughts.org Subject: happy birthday Happy birthday, Julio!!! :) Sincerely, Cyndi S.

Thanks to Beth for the quoting of Neil Gaiman. I ***adore*** the Kindly Ones, I wish there was a boot of Tori doing the sentimental journey. But, hey, if not, I can still dream... I think whether one agrees with Neil or not, the fact that he notices SLG as being more personal than "...Venus..." is very poignant - that's the perception I had, and I had the impression many other people also - at least those who appreciated SLG at all. I might be a blasphemipus little bugger here, but to me SLG and its spirit as an album is, to me, the closest to Boys for Pele. I know, I know, the diversity of musical means used on it would point rather to Choirgirl as opposed to the almost an "unplugged", down-to-the-basics character of BfP but... just the flow of it, the album-oriented-beginning-to-end listening mode. And the fact that these are two of the most challenging albums, for me personally. the most demanding to the listener, they just don't spare you. On a completely different subject. I've been made to wonder how emotional predispositions of the moment make you listen to music in an absolutely different way. Especially to the lyrics. Being emotionally exposed and vunerable often opens you up to even the simplest lyric, maybe because your sarcasm barrier and "disbelief" are lifted, it all hits dead on into your heart. I've had a series of extremely bad days now, and feeling disgustingly sorry for myself had me absolutely fall in love with Rob Halford. ;) (yeah, i KNOW he's unavailable ;)). the point is, lyrics that seemed really cheesy, suddenly look like the inside of my head, and I've got my jaw on the floor and tears in my eyes. Of course I feel very stupid, to add to that. But songs like "Silent Screams" and "Slow down" from his album Resurrection have me hyperventilating with gratitude over the fact somone actually wrote them. "What i am is all that really matters now, the lies are gone. Tempting fate and losing friends along the way I loved. you'll never know, my life means everything, still, I scream because there's nothing left to do until the end. the world goes on, with all that I've become, still I scream inside, for all the pain I've taken hasn't changed." :) Gabriela -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: Fri, 14 Jun 2002 07:24:57 -0400 From: Jim <jimphynn@mindspring.com> To: RDT Right Now <rdtrn@torithoughts.org> Subject: De-lurking for five seconds...

Hello! I recently saw "Attack Of The Clones", and it exceeded expections! *spoilers* Coolest film I've seen in a long time! I really liked the scene when Mace Windu went after Palpatine with his light saber and said "I'm getting Jedi on your ass." And then there was the scene where the ground crew was working on the prototype X-Wing fighter and when one technician was lamenting the sorry state it was in, another technician led them singing "Greased Blasterfire". And we were also introduced to the redneck bounty hunter, Bubba Fett. And Jar Jar Binks was the big hero at the end! Wow! All in all, a great movie. on a different note: This is really scary.

Reminds me of a "Voyager" episode- without giving too much away, basic premise was that a planet was found that existed in a very accelerated state of time, so that *years* passed by on the planet in minutes in the rest of the universe. Among the challenges the Voyager crew encountered were trying to "decode" signals from the planet, which indeed sounded like chipmunks until processed and slowed down to a more listenable state. Overall, it's clear that when faster than light space travel is actually developed some sort of faster than light communications system would also have to be developed (as exists in "Star Trek") or else people back on Earth would in fact hear a weirdly shifted radio signal from a ship prior to it going to warp (or whatever they actually call going past lightspeed in the future), since normal radio signals travel at the speed of light. Although I do wonder if a signal transmitted from a ship moving beyond the speed of light would move backwards in time back to Earth, in effect being recieved before it was actually sent. > >Dani said: "..I will clarify that statement by saying that in today's >Australian society, it is now almost a badge of honour to find out that >one's ancestors were First Fleeters, or even just convicts." > What's a First Fleeter? *curious* sorry to dani for even brining that up.

That's a given. We would expect nothing less than that from her. from redstamen: >Subject: copy protected cd's something that's really been pissing me off lately. Yes I understand the need to prevent piracy, but geez! Sometimes you make a copy just to play while on the go so you can safely leave the originals at home and the copy won't play some cd players, and sometimes the copies won't play in *any* player. And more and more I've been having problems with newer CD's not playing in some players (not copies, I mean the originals!). My home stereo is a few years old but it's in good operating condition, and my other cd's seem to play ok, but many cd's I've tried to play lately (both mine and whatever friends bring by to listent to) either skip really bad or the stereo displays the "no disc" message when the disc is in fact loaded. It reminds me of when copy protected movies on video hit the market- worked to stop copying by having a video signal that was just strong enough to run through the vcr the tape was in and to the TV, but going through cables to a second vcr degraded the signal enough to make the copy unwatchable. Major problem though: that same "signal degredation" copy protection on some tapes actually kicks in when you're just playing the tape straight to your TV, no second vcr involved, so the original tape plays with a crappy picture. I have a few newer CD's that I can't play in my laptop's cd rom drive, nor will they play in my stereo, but they'll play in my discman. Great for being out and about, but it truly behaves like a collapsed star that I can't play those cd's in my home stereo. pardon the rant, but I hope I'm not the only one pissed off about this. from claire: >I agree with just about everything you said in that post.

"Most of the music on the album - his first for ISO Records - was recorded by the trio of Bowie, bass player Visconti and drummer Matt Chamberlain." I figured this was news because Matt works/worked (whichever. lol) with Tori. :) Sincerely, Cyndi S.

My sister is in the hospital. (yeah the pregnant one.. lol she's my only sister rofl.. it's her, my bro, and me so you know. :D) she's either got a kidney infection or a kidney stone, but either way, she's in a lot of pain, and gonna be in the hospital at LEAST overnight. She's on morphine right now, and I'm worried about her, and also her baby.. HOWEVER, my mom called her before leaving to go be with her, and she sounded okay--in other words, not like she's about to die, so there's SOME consolation.. but I'm still worried.. Any good thoughts or prayers for her would definitely be appreciated cuz I'm sitting here trying to just have a normal day, but I keep worrying about her. on a lighter note.. my brother and his wife have gone to actually do a closing (or whatever.. lol) on their new house that they bought.. YAY!! *sighhhhhh..* I just needed to ramble to somebody. I already talked to a friend of mine but I guess I needed to ramble to you guys too. Wish my sister luck and let's hope she gets better..

It was wonderful seeing them. I probably won't see them for another 2 years. My hard drive blew up on Sunday, and I lost a lot of e-mail (not to mention a lot of recipes and pictures), so I have no idea what's been going on the last 2 weeks :).
