Tori Amos - American Doll Posse [2007]
2008-02-27 03:09:00 Review by Rodney Bogardus “piscean dream” For years I’ve read about how Tori has been inspired by great rock bands of the 1960s and ’70s (The Doors, Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, etc.) and upon listening to AMERICAN DOLL POSSE in its entirety, I feel that she has finally let loose and really jammed with her talented ...

Covers: Tori Amos does Kylie
2008-01-31 23:36:00 Here's an old clip I found from a year and a half ago. It's Tori Amos performing "Can't Get You Out of My Head" on the day that it was announced that she had cancer. She brings this really chilling, haunting quality to the song that no one but Tori could pull off this well.

When music was great
2008-01-02 02:39:00 There were two periods of great musical creativity during the twentieth century: 1930-1945 and 1967-78. Other periods, although not devoid of great music, have tended not to be as rich, producing more ?routine? music that is more interesting sociologically than musically. It may be that profound music is produced in more abundance during times of stress and unrest than in times of prosperity.

Concept album masterpieces
2007-12-22 22:17:00 Today, that notion of artistic purpose has become so pervasive that, whether consciously or unconsciously, artists routinely infuse concepts into their albums, or feel compelled to come up with a snappy response when a reviewer asks ?so what is the CD about?? I want to share four examples of especially interesting, artistically successful concept albums that stand out from the crowd.

Tori Amos Kicks Out Two Of Her Fans Video
2007-12-15 16:08:00 Tori Amos was wearing a sparkly red jumpsuit (it's so hard not to say apparatus there), and was in the middle of performing Code Red in San Diego, California, Wednesday night when she interrupted the show, stopped the music, and cussed out two fans. Two of the girls in the front row distracted her - Amos did a double take and shouted out, Hey, hold on! Hey, hold on! Get the f*ck out of my show. It's a privilege to sit in the front row. I reserve those seats for people who appreciate music. Get the f*ck out!

Live Music: Tori Amos ("Get the Fuck Out!")
2007-12-14 23:36:00 I love this video so much. Tori Amos is doing a damn good job of performing "Code Red" when a couple girls in the front row start to disrupt the show. So, Tori stops the song out of nowhere and says "Get the fuck out of my show", and tells them that the front row is only for people that care about the music. And it was awesome. There's about eight minutes of fantastic performance to go with it, too.

2007-12-11 23:32:00 This week is a purdy stressful week over in China2Ny land…defending the ol’ dissertation on Friday.

The lyrics of Tori Amos
2007-12-06 00:34:00 Tori uses highly personal and idiosyncratic language in her lyrics that makes the songs often difficult to decipher and open to multiple interpretations. We don't always know exactly what she's talking about, but her choice of words and imagery convey an underlying emotional state that we understand. The ambiguity of meaning helps keep the songs interesting and engaging. A good example of the challenge of interpretation is "Caught A Lite Sneeze."

Arizona Welcomes Tori Amos (with a good interview!)
2007-12-04 04:19:00 Although short Tori Amos interviews always leave me wanting more…this one was cute enough to be post worthy. An Arizona entertainment news blog posted a brief conversation with Tori in which she discusses the “dolls” and the inspirations behind the looks. Other topics include the state of pop stardom, Hilary’s chances, and Tori’s future (or lack thereof) as an actress. Question numero uno: When did the dolls come together…a long time ago, or when the album was born? Tori points to Kevyn Aucoin’s work with her Strange Little Girls album as “practice” for her Doll work. Looking at herself as the Strange girls she began to wonder…hey, if I can change this much on the outside, I must be able to do it on the inside. Dos: Does what a woman wear really say something about her? Tori says, “Duh.” Question numero tres: Does it bother you that (more…)
Pip Pippin? in Salt Lake City: Tori Amos Concert Review

Pip wowed her inspiration-thirsty Salt Lake City audience with all of her faves: Heart of Gold, Cruel, Fat Slut, and Waitress to name a few. She rocked the green dress and, of course, the infamous leather pants. (Hm…wouldn’t it be funny to hear ...
Denver Post: This is How you Advertise a Tori Amos Show
2007-12-01 04:15:00 I’ve been giving journalists a lot of crap these days…especially those who feel it necessary to actually put a negative Tori Amos concert review anywhere in print. Not to say they have to like her…but they at least have to try to understand the American Doll Posse concept. Afterall, she’s explained it 100 ...

Tori Amos Song Interpretation Update: Northern Lad
2007-11-29 04:30:00 Just finished Northern Lad. For all the talk about the meaning of this song, I didn’t spend much time talking about the beautiful the melody or how emotionally raw Tori sounds when she is singing it. You can actually hear venom when when she says “f**king” cold. And the “because of’s” at the end ...

Tori Amos and the Latter Day Saints: Salt Lake Tribune Article
2007-11-26 22:37:00 An article based on a phone interview with Tori Amos was printed in the Salt Lake Tribune last week in anticipation of her show last Thursday. This interviewer/writer (by the name of David Burger) appears to have a very good surface knowledge of Tori and her career. Bummer…I won’t get to trash this guy like I did Victoria Macci (the Izzy-hater, ADP-not-understander who reviewed Tori’s Fort Myers show). He referred to her ill-fated Y Kant Tori read days and described her transition into the realm of solo work with Little Earthquakes, showcasing her more famous covers from that era: Smells Like Teen Spirit and Angie. I did cringe, however, when he compared Tori’s piano stylings to “fellow redhead” Jerry Lee Lewis. But, whatev. Comparisons are a journalists crutch and they use them when the can. I understand this. Mr. Burger described American Doll Posse, a largely political vendetta, as quite a bit different from her other more personal albu...
Tori Amos Song Interpretation Page Update: She’s Your Cocaine
2007-11-24 11:49:00 I’m slowly but surely trekking through the From The Choirgirl Hotel album. Almost done now that I’ve completed everything up through She’s Your Cocaine. There is a good Tori quote here, as well as some more debate amongst fans whether or not Tori wishes an untimely death upon Courtney Love for “stealing” Trent Reznor from her. Hey, I have no stance on the issue…I’m just the messenger! Whoever She’s Your Cocaine is directed to, God bless your soul. Sounds like you passed up Tori for someone who manipulated you to the point of nearly chopping off your own…well, I’ll spare you the mental image. I’ll take the opportunity to disclaim a little more about these song interp pages. These summaries merely represent a starting point for fans looking for direction when it comes to understanding a Tori song. There are a gazillion and a half ways (more…)

Ms. Pip’s set included the ever-present Cruel, Teenage Hustling, and Fat Slut in ...
Tori Amos Interview in SOMA Magazine
2007-11-17 04:00:00 My good friend Saar posted a recent Tori Amos interview to Undented.com…and it was a good one, so I’ll share some thoughts.

The interviewer, Jaan Uhelszki, compliments Tori on her appearance ...
Santa?s Atlanta: Tori Amos Concert Review
2007-11-16 04:52:00 I wonder if the obvious rhyme was the deciding factor in bringing Santa out to play last night (11/14/07) at Atlanta’s Fox Theater. Nah, Tori’s much deeper than that Santa has obviously taken a liking to Raspberry Swirl, as she’s played it just about if not every night since its premier. She ...
Why I am a Tori Amos Fan (in 700 words or less)
2007-11-15 02:51:00 I am not usually asked, “Why are you a Tori Amos fan?” Instead I get the, “Geez, what is it about this woman that you obsess over?” I assume I am not alone…you all get that, too. We Ears with Feet even ask each other that question, at shows, on message boards, ...

Tori Amos Performs, Wielding a Gun
2007-11-09 18:45:00 Tori Amos has always been an intense and passionate performer, but perhaps she’s going too far by pulling knives and guns out on stage?

Messin? with a Southern Girl: Tori Amos in the Charlotte Observer
2007-11-09 14:53:00 This article, which appeared in the Charlotte Observer yesterday as an advertisement for Tori Amos’ upcoming show, is perhaps the shortest but still quite personal and interesting Tori interview I’ve read in a while. The interviewer, Courtney Devores, poses five questions to Tori which Tori either answered briefly (although, that is not her style) or were ...
