Tori Amos

I fucking love Tori Amos. Check it at 2:25. via dlisted: [Wednesday] night [12/12] at her San Diego show, Tori Amos showed two girls that she doesn't mess around. Two girls were seated in the front row and I guess they kept coming and going as they pleased. While playing "Code Red", Tori stopped halfway through and told the girls "Get the fuck out of my show! It's a privilege to sit in the front row and I reserve those seats for people who appreciate music, get... MORE

There's something about remorse and regret that demands a smoky bar, a husky voice, and a piano. Nobody does the piano bar regret blues quite like Tom Waits. so today, a trio of Toms. While Tori Amos doesn't fit the piano bar blues profile, she did one Waits cover on her Strange Little Girls lp in which, if you close your eyes, you just might see her in a different light. Well, things are pretty lousy for a calendar girl.The boys just dive right off the cars and splash ... MORE

You want to talk to me. You want to talk to me. You want to talk to me. I wore this for attention. You’re the only one in the room who hasn’t even looked at me. You’re the only one I really want looking at me. I’m not smiling at anyone here except you. I turn it on every time I think you’re going to move in my direction, yet I’m consistently thwarted. Are you on mushrooms? Are you mesmerized by an imaginary giant owl that’s approximately 10 feet away from me? What is you... MORE

  A mellow version of one of my favorite Stones songs.   Tori's voice suits my mood on a quiet Sunday evening.

Leonard Cohen destroys by being destroyed; Tori Amos mourns what he's lost, what you've lost, that things can be lost, and always will.

This video speaks for itself:

how about a little Tori love i'm gonna save em all in word ONE DAY YEAH RIGHT!

I must admit I was never much on Halloween as a kid. I liked the candy part and the dress up, but I don't like being scared. (Shocking, isn't it?) It wasn't until I got to college and had a roomie, Mrs. PL, who absolutely LOVED Halloween that I started to enjoy it more. Or at least now I try to enjoy it more. It does help to work at a theatre so you have access to costumes and people who do make up professionally. But this year, it's just a quiet night at home waitin... MORE

A friend sent this to me recently and I had never heard it before.  It's very high quality.  He, however, has no idea where it's from; and neither do I.  It is relentlessly beautiful and one of my favorite performances of this song.

keep art alive; art by sas christian first of december, and i had quite a few winter holiday plans. but, what is it they say about making plans? instead of the winter arts festival and my favorite diner, by the beach, it has been me wrapped up in a blanket on the couch feeling too sick to move. if i felt better i'd be driving around taking in the twinkle lights, which are on my list of my 100 favorite things ever. maybe tomorrow night, if i can shake the fever and sore t...

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" from her third solo album, B... MORE

I did it, I purchased my first official graphic novel. Comic Book Tattoo, the coffee table sized collection of graphic novel stories inspired by Tori Amos songs. My best buddy Gregorio would be so proud of me, he would probably say, "It's a about fucking time!" Gregorio is the one who got me to appreciate the art of the graphic novel. He was always the comic book geek. Greg would be the one who would take the bus from San Antonio to Comic Con before it became "the" convent... MORE

Tori Amos has a wealth of online goodies and is still on her American Doll Posse Tour in the US. Videos: "Bouncing Off Clouds":This is a strange video because it isn't really a video at all, but a series of photographs. These look to be photos from the same shoot as the photos that grace her American Doll Posse album cover and website. Which is why I think this video is kinda weird, bec
