In 1994, an article is posted (subject line: axcess magazine article): "Healing for me is being able to sit next to the butcher and say, 'Yes, I'm sitting next to the butcher now,' instead of saying'There is no butcher.'Well, there definitely is one!" asserts Amos. "On this record, I try to hold hands with violence. I'm holding hands with him and it's like 'Let's go get some dresses and hang out together."' In 1998, more sticking up for 15-year-old fans, a post about stereotyping fans, a Matt Chamberlain/Smashing Pumpkins confusion (which you might recall happening recently in one of the SW articles), and a couple of variations on the Vanilla Ice --> Tori 6 degrees connection. In 1999, more on the current flame war. [ ================================================================== ] Today's fuzzy ferret assistant: Lavenda Missed a digest?

And I'm not launching into a religion rant here (honest!), but I think the things about religion that have upset me aren't religion as a whole, but what some people tend to do- focusing on either the hellfire and damnation angle or presenting a very defeatist and fatalistic view, instead of trying to share their beliefs in a positive way. Especially when religion comes up in a disability discussion- it always seems like the fatalistic view is presented rather than showing how belief in a "higher power" of some sort might be helpful from a psychological standpoint in dealing with the challenges and difficulties one encounters. I mean, I'm going to be more receptive to someone sharing their experiences of how their faith (whatever it is they might believe in) helped them through a difficult period than someone saying "things are bad but it's god's will so who are we to question?" I think *that's* what I've been trying to articulate for a long time, and I think I finally got it out in a way that makes sense ;) Why can't one believe in some kind of higher power in the universe without all the negativity some people try to bring into it? Or as Commander Sinclair (first commander of Babylon 5) put it: "Mabye God doesn't care how we say our prayers, just as long as we say them". ;) cute kitten :) glad he got back home :) loria wrote: > Simon commented also in #1684 on one of my favourite films, Until the > End of the World: " Long movie but it moves along very well."

UTEOTW has a fine, fine soundtrack, though.... That would be interesting to see- perhaps the extra material better explains things, like the world situation and more of the technical details that did fit the story but seemed a little confusing in places. The movie is one of the rare instances where I've felt emotionally drained by a movie- not depressed, but really drawn into the story and what was happening to the characters- really intense and sad in places but so relieved to see how things ultimately worked out. victoria wrote: > My favourite misheard lyrics: 'Excuse me while I kiss this guy' that one is a classic! > >My top five movies: > > 1.

I'm afraid I might have 2 posts pop up in one > digest. How embarrassing. I hate it when that happens to me, though I don't mind it so much when they're in the same digest but there's a lot of other posts in between. I try not to have two right next to each other, though. If I have two posts ready at once, I'll hold one back for a day, to spread them out. Cyndi asked: > would this be Patti Smith who started that band during the punk > movement and stuff? Yup. Started as a visual artist, moved into poetry, started adding music to the poetry, ended up a rock star, quit that to be a wife and mom (and poet), then started performing regularly again when her husband died. Oh, and I left out "rock critic," which she also did before she became a musician, as did her guitarist Lenny Kaye. Beth said: > when I am writing full-time as my work the words do not > always come so easily when i am trying to express something > of my own emotions.

A pretty good description of some of the reviews Patti Smith used to write when she was a rock critic. :-) > I have turned to other media for my personal expression: I'm currently doing stick figure comics. It has certain advantages over prose fiction, though it's also somewhat more expensive. I don't own a scanner, so I have to go to the local Kinko's from time to time to scan things. But it is a cheaper medium than many (like motion pictures or sculpting in margerine) and sometimes it makes people laugh. Maybe I'll do a stick figure comic about Tori someday.

Unfortunately, that is not something I care to do every day for the rest of my life. On to some replies before I disappear for the rest of the weekend: >From Cyndi: > one of the best tips of writing I've heard, I heard in Finding > Forrester: "write the first draft with your heart, then revise with your > head." dunno if that's exact, but it's precise enough for me. sounds sorta > like your problem there, Rebecca.. it's a problem for me sometimes too but > other times, my heart takes my head hostage and takes over for a while.. > and then when I'm done, it sets my head free and then my head revises what > my heart just spurted out in an empassioned fury.. and cleans the *mess* up > while keeping the good stuff intact.. :D I'd say that's good advice.

I thought it went well with the art standing alone vs. talking about art thread. For those who haven't seen the movie, the entirety of the quote is: "Talking about love is like dancing about architecture." >From Cyndi again: > Rebecca then talked about the singer/guitarist of The Shins saying: "You > look sorta like her." (Tori) > rofl.. SWEET! :) Heehee. You'd be laughing even harder if you knew how much I *don't* look like her. Maybe in the cheekbones and tiny stature, but from there all similarity ends. It still made my day though. I get wierd comparisons like that all the time. One year, half the people I met claimed I resembled Molly Ringwald (although that could be explained away by the red hair and tacky red lipstick I always wore). And then there was the bizarre incident at a party where a couple of foreign exchange students insisted I looked like Lucille Ball. I had to walk away from that one wondering if I was the butt of some joke I didn't understand.

Certainly not the place where the system is so bad that Hillary proposed spending 1/7 of the of the GNP to fix it. Why not Canada, France, Australia, or the land of Fidel?" Well, separating twins that are conjoined at the frontal lobe (if these are the same ones I'm thinking of) is not the easiest surgery in the world. Quite experimental in fact. I'm sure the United States wanted to garner some international attention on the ability of its doctors to do this kind of work, as it does bring money into the country. The feelings of relaxation resulting from my vacation vanished earlier this week with the amount of work I had to do and the amount of bullshit I had to take in order to get it done. I ended the week thinking I was going to get sick. But I slept about 10 hours last night and feel a little bit better, and am cooking dinner for some friends tonight (although in this heat, that might be an insane proposition). Tomorrow, Devin and I are seeing King's X, Dream Theater and Joe Satriani -- of those, and I'm fans of all of them -- I have only seen Joe (a handful of times). I'm looking forward to it. Right now I am bracing for the onslaught of information regarding Tori Amos _and_ Fields of the Nephilim, since I run a Fields fan site as an adjust to a mailing list about them (as well as assisting on the Tori Tour list). I find it ironic that FOTN, which is notoriously slow about putting out albums, will announce one is forthcoming and then not release it for three years, has just released a track list for its new album which is supposed to be out Oct. 9. Meanwhile, we still don't know the complete track list for Scarlet's Walk and we don't know when the tour starts. All this from a record company which is supposed to be professional and on top of things. :) I'm a bit baffled but whatever - we'll get the info when we get it. I do know there are people who are eager to plan vacation time around Tori's shows, though. I haven't done much this week with all the work I did, but I did start reading "Fellowship of the Ring," to discover that the bit I couldn't get through last time wasn't even part of the book, it was the extended history of the hobbits in the prologue. Hmmm. Beth -- "How do you 'consume' music, when (a) music isn't a thing and (b) it's still there after you've used it... Just because the industry markets it as a commodity doesn't mean we have to accept their terms of reference. It's time people stopped talking about 'consuming' art and culture and so on and started thinking of art as an activity."

I've been here for a lil while, just reading in the background, enjoying all of the lovely conversation. So, I'm an introvert... sue me. Guess I have some things to say this time, so here goes my wonderful ability to start a huge flame war... "In 2001, House Of Leaves." Is this in reference to Poe at all? Her brother, Mark Z. Danielewski wrote a book (Brook, too... please love my typos) entitled "The House Of Leaves". Coincidently I have not read it yet, I'm still trying to finish up a few Anne Rice books as is. Also, the year Poe's album "Haunted" was released (and presumably the book too?) was 2001. "Lavenda" said: "And just to cover all the bases, there's a link to the archvies at the end of every digest." Good to know for those times when you really want to just kill some time :). Cyndi said: "and okay.. as long as I can do a top five of non-Tori and then a top five of Tori.. I'll do my list too!" This is actually based off of what I'm listening to the most right now, so here goes the top five (or more...) 1. Tori Amos "Little Earthquakes" 2. Nightwish "Century Child" *glances at subject* 3. Sarah Fimm "Cocooned" If you haven't heard her yet, run, don't walk to www.cdbaby.com and pick it up ;D 4. Cathy Verric "Shallows & Depths" 5. Vanessa Carlton "Be Not Nobody" Please, don't hurt me for this one. 6. Frou Frou "Details" my finishing touch, unless I think of something else worthy of making it. Victoria said: "Because, with the exception of that Swedish bitch from Metallica, it's not the artists that are saying no and going to court over mp3s." I think "that Swedish bitch" is from Denmark, actually. Which to the best of my Geographical knowledge (which isn't much, mind you) is Southwestish of Sweden. At one time I think he might have had some form of a point, but whatever it may have been has been long lost now somewhere between the x million rants shamelessly publicized (constantly) by the media. Seeing what I've seen, most people that I know download MP3's and end up buying the CD's. Example of this is why I'm even here, a long lost, but good friend of mine sent me "Cornflake Girl" many years ago. *glances at Tori CD's now* :) "Emmanuel" said: "As much a loser as he was, at least Clinton wasn't a vengeful Texan on a murderous spree. God save the world, cause Bush obviously won't" I never did like the idea of Bush leading us into war. Most of the time he doesn't even know what he's saying, or he's unable to speak. Probably a little of both. So, how, tell me please, is he going to organize and execute a legitament and moral war? If there is such a thing, as they'd like to think they can convince us that there is. I think either he a. wants to win over fans (which he's on the losing end of) or b. wants to blow money. Either way, I voted for the lesser idiot (but, still the "I invented the internet." idiot that we all love and adore) that is Gore. I say put a black woman in office. Cyndi said: "you need to come to GA then! :)" I shall be moving to Marietta first chance I get! :) She also delightfully added: "I wonder..... if she'll be born on Tori's birthday (the 22nd, obviously..)" My uncle was born August, 21st (I'm pondering getting a birthday cake that says "Happy birthday Dave and Tori!" and start eating it just before midnight :)). Ironically, Sarah McLachlan (Tori/Sarah are my two favs, sort of) was born January 28th. My birthday is February 1st. Astrologically, Aquarians are the direct opposites of Leo's and vice versa. Leo's being the more dedicated, Aquarians the more creative. We go hand in hand! :) Cyndi also apparently wrote: "even people who say they don't like attention.. somewhere, want attention of SOME kind--like maybe they just hate crowds, but love one-on-one attention, for example.. something to ponder and chew on.. :)" I tend to like to hang around a small group of two, maybe three friends. Being involved, but in the background as well. I like attention, but in moderation :) Beth said: "Let me just say that I told the class and teacher that I refused to do Algebra on Patriotic principles. Algebra is a Hindu-Arabic term ("Al-Jabr"), which means "the resolution". I said the term is too Taliban for me and I couldn't support terrorism through support of their math system. The teacher said that I was pushing it. Oh well. I never did understand stupid linear equations." Brilliant, yes, indeed... brilliant :) Beth's signature said: "I'm OK when Everything's not OK cause it's the Fairies Revenge they say And I have always been a Fairy." Remind me when you change your signature to steal that one from you :) Beth had a bit about movies... Let's see here, I like a lot of movies but I'll just name some of my favs. Girl Interrupted, The Shawshank Redemption, Fight Club, Interview With A Vampire, The Crow, and probably more... :) Beth also said...: "I can't even attempt my top five albums. Impossible, and truly all over the map. It depends on my mood what I like and when I like it. And as you all know, my "moods" are infinite, as is my music collection. A little bit of everything." *pulls out of my super-duper-one-liner-machine, aka my sleeve, the phrase...* "Ditto" :). One word, wow I'm good. No, actually I suck. More on that later. Beth ALSO said (she seems to be typing up a storm catching up): "See, there are (at least) three Beths here." Frightening, truly... very, frightening. How am I to keep up? Okay that's all for this horribly long and drawn out post but I couldn't take not commenting to all the good stuff anymore ;D.
