Happy Workers!. I was cleaning up the other day and decided to play this while I cleaned. I guess it's just one of those forgotten songs by her. Kinda reminds of "Lily" by .....but I don't wanna start the battle again

Im not sure if I own that song.

there is a killer Chris Bruce remix of Closing of the Year....instrumental.....

ehhh..ill take any chance i get to talk about w&l.

SassyBritches said:

Seems like a holdover from her Y Kan't Tori Read days. Maybe cuz it doesn't fit in nicely with the work she's done from Little Earthquakes onward. It's fun enough, but kinda silly. Now "Ring My Bell"...that's another story.

AnckSuNamun said:

What is it I'm not getting here?

GangstaFam said:

i fucking love her cover of "ring my bell"! LOVE it!

SassyBritches said:

Bitch could probably put out 10 covers albums and they'd all be stellar.

AnckSuNamun said:

Leave it be.

Look at those thighs!

sosgemini said:

don't know it so i'm unable to compare the two...in most cases, though, i say the kate/tori comparisons are off the mark.

SassyBritches said:

That's what all Tori fans say.

Cloudbuster said:

well, i've only got "the red shoes" and "hounds of love" so i'm certainly not incredibly familiar with kate's full body of work. just considering those two records, though, i don't see much that similar. different lyrical styles, different musical styles, and different areas of discussion; i think the comparisons come from the fact that its two women who are rather eccentric. for me, that's where the similarities seem to end.

SassyBritches said:

Oh here lies the problem! Pick up The Kick Inside and Lionheart and you'll see what us Kate fans are talking about.

Where's Sensual World!?

Cloudbuster said:

I just said "Lily" to ruffle feathers.....but it does sound like a B-side to The Red Shoes.

Oh Jesus people, would you leave it alone?

Cloudbuster said:

Well, I was a Kate fan long before I was a Tori fan, so I don't know if that's really true.

JediMaster said:

Do you think they're similar/related?

GangstaFam said:

I wouldn't say there was blatant theft in Tori's work. But she's most definately been influenced by Kate. She's even admitted it herself. It's not really worth denying when it has come from Tori herself. I hear a lot of Kate in Bjork's work, too. She's also given Kate a nod for her influence. It's there in their skewed perspectives of the world and the fearlessness of being prepared to sound stupid for the sake of the art. It's an honour, really.

Cloudbuster said:

BINGO!! We have a winner

Cloudbuster said:

When did Tori say this?

sextonseven said:

Never mind, I did some research and found the article. Although she says she was drawing Kate Bush comparisons even before she had ever heard of her.

sextonseven said:

I've read that too. That someone shouted out while she was playing "Kate Bush!!!" So she went out and bought all of her music. I think any similarity between their voices is purely coincidental. That's just how Tori sings.

GangstaFam said:

aint nothing wrong with that.....i like kidding because the tori fans seem to sensitive about the subject.
