don't want, i'll take 'em off your hands! i could surely use a dose of
our favorite redhead...

jessica

ps. Estraven...i *love* itunes on "schizophrenic dj" mode! Miss Kittin

Subject: Tori Amos Review

Hi All,

I sent this back on 3/22, but it didn't show up, so here it is again.  I'm
reviewing the Philly concert on 4/11 and will send that in also.  I'm
supposed to take photos at soundcheck, but we'll see if that actually
happens.  The Sony/Epic rep told me when to go, but no details about where
to go or what ID I need.

Fairy Blessings,
Bethey

Tori Amos Review
by Beth Coulter
special to the Crestiad (Cedar Crest College)

The Beekeeper (Sony/Epic Records)

Piece by Piece with Ann Powers (Broadway Books)

Tori Amos has released her ninth album, "The Beekeeper" in conjunction with
her first book, "Piece by Piece", co-authored by Ann Powers, a former New
York Times and Village Voice music reviewer.

The nineteen track, 79 minute CD is a reclamation of the sound Amos
investigated in her 1998 album "From the Choirgirl Hotel."

Like "Choirgirl", the tracks from "Beekeeper" sound much better when put
into lyric book order (which is vastly different from how it is arranged).

"The Beekeeper", when put into lyric track order, falls into six different
gardens, each with its own message.

>From the "Desert Garden" with its baroque pop story of class separation, war
and how women can smooth the way for growth, to "The Greenhouse", where
resolution is addressed, the gardens lead you to an understanding about the
myths of the world.

Myth, folklore and genealogy explain the world in Tori Amos' new book "Piece
by Piece." Or perhaps it is better to say it explains Tori's world.

It is not the typical biography for a musician. It is more a blue print for
Amos' creative processes.

Ann Powers' engages Amos in a conversation that is arranged into chapters
such as "Corn Mother: Genealogies", "Mary Magdalene: The Erotic Muse", and
"Venus: Creating a Public Self." Each chapter is spiced with "Song Canvas"
mini-chapters that explain some of the songs throughout her career.

Many of Amos' friends, family and crew add their thoughts to the process,
making for a full spectrum about the world of Tori Amos.

This book is an excellent companion piece to the new CD.

Subject: Alternate tracklist

For those of you who have tried listening to an alternate tracklist for
the Beekeeper, what are you using? The order of the songs in the lyric
sheet are different than the ones in the "table of contents" (to the
left of the CD when you open the CD case). Not only that, but the "table
of contents" is circular and I'm not sure how you'd figure out which
goes after which.

I'm not sure I'm making any sense, just wondering what alternate
tracklists you've tried. I'm working on this one and it's not working
for me any better than the CD order is:

General Joy
Barons of Suburbia
The Beekeeper
Sweet the Sting
Martha's Foolish Ginger
Toast
Cars and Guitars
Hoochie Woman
Witness
Original Sinsuality
Mother Revolution
Ribbons Undone
Jamaica Inn
Marys of the Sea
Sleeps with Butterflies
The Power of Orange Knickers
Parasol
Goodbye Pisces
Ireland

I haven't said this here yet, but my favorite songs on the album are
"Marys of the Sea," "Parasol," "Toast," "The Beekeeper," "Original
Sinsuality" and "Mother Revolution." I also like "Hoochie Woman" and
"Jamaica Inn" OK. I can pretty much leave the rest of them.

Beth
