(pat, i thought your rabbit joke was very cute. i laughed and laughed. you are a funny guy, it's just some people don't get you. but that's o.k. cause some do get you. and really well, as long as you get you...) does anyone know where tori will be going next? is she going to vacation for a bit? i so much want to see her again. and a friend told me of a rumor that some time this spring she is going to be at the university of indiana in bloomington. tell me, is it true? it's a three hour drive from here and i would for sure have to go. if anyone has any idea about this... i need to know.

Oh, and about "give me life..." in LE, I have been able to reproduce that range with my own voice quite acuratly.

Well, as far as I can tell, if you say album, you mean any full-length recording in any format. Now, if you say record, _then_ you're talking vinyl. Anyone else agree? The same person recommended Bettie Serveert's _Lamprey_. I agree. I'm gonna get my copy tomorrow if it's still in the used bin. Gotta nab the new Toad EP and probably PJ's new album if it's on sale while I'm at it.

Damn, I wish I could remember where I saw an article on this, I think it was Glamour (see, I TOLD you I read it), but it quoted a woman psychologist as saying that horses figure VERY big in budding women's lives: They are (subconscious) symbols of unrestrained male sexuality and virility, veritable mountains of muscular flesh and hidden strength, yet the most innocent and sexually inexperienced girl can straddle one and ride it safely. So they become an outlet for young girls to explore new and unfamiliar sexual feelings. Any females care to comment on this?

I copy all of the RDTs for my girlfriend so she won't also have to spend the time to receive them and I put the files in "trash" instead of her disk! Oops. Luckily they were saved. I must apologize again for my post yesterday. Whenever I get sick, I am irritable. I recently had an interesting idea for a Tori concert. I would like to see her open for Nine Inch Nails. That way Trent could come on and play on PTM, God, and all other songs that have guitar spots. Of course, he could improv some guitar spots too. But, then again, he is trained on the piano, so maybe they could do a dual piano thing... or a duel piano thing (like deliverance :) Then, Tori could come on and play the piano parts in Trent's songs. Could you imagine Hurt live? I have other ideas about this, if anyone is interested. Hey Colonel, BMG puts that stuff on ALL their discs, but doesn't seems to change the content of the discs. One reason might be so you can't try to return them to a record store for money. Columbia House (I Believe) leaves the barcode off for that reason. If there are so many people who are concerned about non-tori content leaking into the digest, why doesn't one of them start their own list? I am sure they could even "edit" for tori content. Duets-I would love to see Tori do a duet with Maynard James Keenan (of Tool). I think I would die... Hey Suzannah, I noticed that The Waitress did sound a lot like nin, but I assumed it was because of the drum beat (possibly a drum machine?) That Broken vid is really gross, huh? Actually, up until Happiness in Slavery, it really isn't bad. How much did you pay for your copy, Suzannah? I paid $25 (and am willing to make copies). If anyone ever goes to Cedar Rapids, Iowa, stop at Relics Records...they rock. The Mixed up files ?!? Whoa! I work at a book store and just saw that yesterday! I remember how much I enjoyed that book. Thanks for helping restore those memories, sunshine. BTW, what song is everyone talking about? Space DOG? I thought it was space RABBIT! -------- Next Message -------- [top] >From rdt-owner Tue Feb 28 10:58:16 1995 Date: Tue, 28 Feb 1995 10:00:07 -0600 (CST) From: James William Babin <jbabin1@tiger.lsu.edu> Subject: The Grammy Awards Mime-Version: 1.0 Here's something I found that may interest fellow RDT-ers.

Nearly everything that Tori says makes sense and its only right that she should be written and read about every day. She is one of the few artists that make you remember their lyrics....any time during the day or night they just pop into your mind. Today for example is it just that time of the month or "..Could it be the wheather"...."Oh God, why am I here?".....class. She is on a par with Joni Mitchell with her clever, clever lyrics. Sorry to mention another singer, but does anyone else like Joni Mitchell? Tori said about Joni Mitchell's 'Blue'. : " It was great to know that someone else knew how you were feeling." Well this is my first time to write anything to rdt, thank you,Pat for introducing me to it. Wasn't your little joke about rabbits blown out of all proportion? I got it aswell if that makes you feel any better. I don't think I'll over do it on my first message...I'll leave with one last comment...Tori Amos kicks ass. I had to stop myself using an exclamation mark then because I just remembered reading somewhere that Tori thinks they look silly so I punctuated my hommage to her with a far more sensible full stop.

I've lost oh so many email addresses, though if I could be bothered I would look for old printed letters in drawers that have From: lines on them. If I haven't written anybody out there it's because my Pegasus mail ate every folder I have... my rdt folder, my folders for different friends, even the folder for my wonderful cousin across the sea. That was ***Pegasus Mail*** everybody. Don't buy it. And stop grinning Anna :-) ************* Speaking of petitions, I'm really torn on this censorship thing, because I read about what was worrying people about the Net in a magazine and thought, "oh dear, this bill could be bad," but though i think censorship is 9 times out of 10 a bad thing, i keep thinking this: A lot of the most prejudiced laws people pass come from someone making somebody else sound bad... like "Affirmative action means a black gets your jobs" or "why should gays get special status." It *sounds* to me like the censorship bill is bad, but I haven't read it, so condemning it is being prejudiced in my book. But that's just my book. ***************** That's what the Cornflake Girl thing means, Lila. The woman who betrayed Tashi/Evelyn was not a white westerner, but M'Lissa, another tribal woman. She wasn't a CfGirl, she hung with the raisins, but the raisin "went to the other side"... i.e. betrayed another woman, cut out her genitals. Tori has said that a lot of her friends were women who were multicultural, but some had a lot of hate for men, etc, whatever it wasn't healthy for her to be with them. Bells for Her she said was the cry of "NO!!!!!" before cutting that string to let the person go. Actually, Lila made the comment about the rooster... I think that was great; probably not intended, but a fabulous coincidence :-D ************* I have a copy of Anything But Rabbits that I'm selling for twenty thousand dollars. Also, stone gumdrops to Kevcox :-) Seriously, in the HMVs and Virgin Records stores in Manchester, all they have nowadays is the US imports... I guess they've stopped shipping the new ones. So we may see prices going up. i'm not trying to inflate prices, I've found about 8 limited editions here, including 3 CfG ltds and sold them all at the price I found 'em. But I bet prices are gonna go up. ************ <always like your babies tight> shivers. wow. wow. maybe maybe not, but I'll never hear the song the same again. :-o ************* About the lyrics. All Tori song lyrics are available on the web at the signe home page (among others). If anyone wants a song lyric and can't get onto the web, just send me a request and I'll get copy it and email it to you. A note about some posted though-=> Here. in my Head... the word is 'petals' rather than 'pedals', referring to 'I'll show you the roses' &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& sister janet these lyrics are printed on the CfG UK single I believe, so we have definitive ones...if I remember right... 'the woman clothed with the sun" rather than 'son' that biblical reference is believed to be to Mary and the veil is becoming 'none' not 'un', but same idea. I always wished she sang 'undone' *************** My guess for the lyric Tori wrote is: I can take only so much cool on your island. that's a joke folks. just a joke. love you all cheers, jeff o manchester {banana drawing} When Jordan was a boy he made paper boats and floated them on the river... I used to watch him standing in the mud or lying face down, his nose almost in the current, his hands steadying the boat and then letting it go straight into the wind. Letting go of himself. When the time came he did the same with his heart. He didn't believe in shipwreck. _Sexing the Cherry_, Jeanette Winterson -------- Next Message -------- [top] >From rdt-owner Tue Feb 28 12:25:56 1995 From: Anna Sunshine Ison <asison01@msuacad.morehead-st.edu> Subject: pouts and blood Date: Tue, 28 Feb 95 12:22:49 EST Mailer: Elm [revision: 70.85.2.1] this is just a little tiny story about disappointment before i go to russian. i've been awfully excited because i'm finally old enough to give blood and our school was having a blood drive today. so i walked up, ultrahappily (and maybe just a Little bit nervously) and my vital signs were good and i had my id. and juuuust as all the computer junk was getting printed up the lady looked at me and said, "um, how much do you weigh honey?" but i was prepared and i looked divinely innocent and said i didn't know and figured that would be the end of it. but noooooo, they had scales there and i got weighed and Then told to come back when i gained 15-20 pounds. i think they should at least have taken half a pint. and so no blood giving for me, i felt so unwanted. i'll just have to find a vampire. love, miss sunshine -------- Next Message -------- [top] >From rdt-owner Tue Feb 28 13:27:03 1995 Date: Tue, 28 Feb 1995 13:28:05 -0500 (EST) From: Ken Murphy u <murp5520@mach1.wlu.ca> Subject: The Grammy Awards Mime-Version: 1.0 OK, here I go, starting trouble again (for the second time this week). The Grammy Awards are coming up, and guess who is nominated - Tori Amos,. And guess who is also nominated - Sarah McLaughlin. Ok, I can see Tori and Sarah being put against each other for an award. I mean, many of you on this very list talk about Sarah. My problem is with NIN! How crazy can the society for performing arts be (is that the institutions name?), to put such totally differenct types of music against each other. I guess that you have to get used to it when it comes to the Grammy's. Personally, being from Canada and all, I am torn. I mean, Tori Amos is by far my favourite musician, but Sarah is a close second, and she is from Toronto, where I am writing from today. So, any guess on who will win? Its all politics anyhow. On another note, can anyone tell me what (if I were to be so luckyas to find one) a CD copy of YKTR would normally go for? Just so I have a fram of reference.

I'm new, which gives me the excuse to screw up a bit. I noticed something about myself. If I'm in a bad mood, I like the album version of 'Waitress' for the guitars...especially if I'm angry at women...but on the whole, on my better days, I like the b-side version that's just her...also, has anyone else heard the bbc radio live version of 'Past the Mission"? My fiance' (who, incidentally, lives in London, with Tori, lucky bastard) taped it for me. He's so wonderful. He's also sent me some nice concert photos and posters that I couldn't find over here...Do anyone else's roommates get sick of Tori? I think that there should be a support group. Also...I'm looking for a studio quality version of "Song for Eric" which I love so dearly... I have a few Tori dream stories that I'll share at a later date. ...but... To let everyone know...my name is Abby. I go to FSU. (lucky me) and I'd love to try to figure out more of her lyrics. Although I consider myself an intelligent, Tori-Worshiping woman...I don't get some things and would love everyone's input. ...also... I'm sure you all have done this before...but WHAT'S YOUR FAVOURITE TORI SONG? I hope, that in the spirit of sister and brotherhood, you'll respond. Thanks for your patience with my first posting attempt. send email to w110b011@garnet.acns.fsu.edu "I find that I have now more than I ever wanted to" (I hope I got that right) CURRENTLY MY FAVOURITE SONGS ARE "HERE, IN MY HEAD" and either "BLACK SWAN" OR "BUTTERFLY" and I missed her on Leno and I'm pissed. love and tori...ablet (abby to the uninitiated) -------- Next Message -------- [top] >From rdt-owner Tue Feb 28 13:44:55 1995 Date: Tue, 28 Feb 1995 13:44:36 -0500 (EST) From: jorge l fernandez <jferna03@solix.fiu.edu> Subject: random shit..... Mime-Version: 1.0 just have to let off some steam..... - first, don't tear the pages off your All These Years books and frame them, as was suggested. you never know what's going to be worth something someday. i've never forgiven my parents for selling all my Star Wars stuff when i was little for $100........ - second, and i hope i don't offend anyone here, but i'm sick and tired of hearing people bitch about some business transaction they weren't even a part of. it was a consenting thing between two people. worry about your own shit, ok? get a life, for god's sake...... - but what does bug me about the whole entire thing was the $60 that the person originally paid for Pieces of Me. these little independent record stores are screwing us fans bad. do you know how much it costs for a retailer to get a boot. friend of a friend got me an NIN boot for $8. that's right, 8 dollars, which is about what any of these things really cost. so when you buy your boots for $30, you're getting had for about $20. that's also why you see such differences in prices in some parts of the country sometimes..... which brings me to my next point..... - i remember someone on another mailing list i was once on organize a group of people who wanted boots and they all placed a bulk order directly from the companies (KTS, Alley Cat, etc.) that wouldn't be a bad idea here, considering the amount to Tori boots out there. i can find out from the guy if it worked, how much they saved, and we could do this here. anyone interested, let me know, and we'll see what we do!!!!! - i'm really surprised to see a lot of people pretty much in the dark about a lot of the b-sides. LE and UtP are really only a fraction of what's out there, and if i had to list some of my favorite Tori songs, they'd probably almost all be b-sides. i know it's expensive, but get on out there and start buying the singles. (More Pink is alright, but missing a lot. Upside Down is a pretty darn good comp, though.......) - if you want Happy Worker, get the Toys soundtrack. it's probably the cheapest way. you might even find it used somewhere. - be warned, Tori only does background vocals in the chorus on the new Tom Jones song. don't know why she gets credited with him on it, but i don't mind it one bit!!!!! hi Nini! hi Suzanne!
