Oh, don't even start! You just had to go and quote my favorite song EVER.

random question - has anybody done an edit of Datura - splicing off the "dividing canaan" part - to use in a compilation? I'm making a "intro to Tori" CD for a friend, and I was thinking of trying that on Datura.

And it would also be perfect for the netradio, i think

I need!

NorthernLad said:

I've never tried, but I imagine it would be a pretty easy one. Maybe I'll try a bit later.

this box set has given me a new found appreciation for little earthquakes.

sallysassalot said:

Me too. Even songs that I usually don't much care for like "Leather", "Happy Phantom" and "Precious Things" are sounding good to me.

GangstaFam said:

What took you guys so long?

sextonseven said:

i always loved the cd, just a little less than most of what came after it. i mean, i was one of about 100 people at the tla watching tori perform in 1991 so i must have liked the record a little. it's just that under the pink and pele just eclipsed it so much.

sallysassalot said:

Since I've become a fan, I've always loved it too. But there have always been a few weak spots for me. And I just can't listen to "Me and a Gun" anymore.

Thanks for the interview, Ganstafam! Fantastic stuff!!

I've decided I'm just gonna have to start selling stuff off to buy this. Also, I think I'll skip lunch for the next few weeks! I can stand to lose some weight! Whatever helps me save cash for this set!!!

JediMaster said:

Very welcome.

And go for it. You're gonna love it.

GangstaFam said:

Oh, there was never any doubt of that!!!

Yeah, I walked into Barnes & Noble on my lunch break and saw that piano just sitting there on the shelf...well, it was hard not to commit a felony right there on the spot! Still, I'm being patient. That puppy will be mine in a few weeks!!!!

JediMaster said:

Are Barnes & Noble editions still available? I went to a B&N near work 15 minutes after they opened and they were sold out.

sextonseven said:

I read somewhere that they're out of 'em to order too.

GangstaFam said:

"Me And A Gun" is the only track from 'Little Earthquakes' I don't like hearing, but I listen to it anyway. The album wouldn't be complete without it.

I listened to the first four discs at work this evening. Fantastic naturally, although the choirgirl songs being out of order kinda throws me. I really want to hear everything at home on the big stereo though. Two many new purchases and not enough time to hear them all! I still haven't gotten to the Gothic Box or the new Janet yet.

GangstaFam said:

For some reason, I can TOTALLY see that.

you guys are so hardcore

I'll never catch up

but thanks for the boost! (you know who you are)

sextonseven said:

That's true. It's even harder to get through in concert. I have a funny story about that and if I'm feeling brave, I might just tell it sometime.

heartbeatocean said:

Sure you will.

sextonseven said:

I still want to post what I would've done differently. I know how I'd organize it, just not everything I'd include yet.

I love, love, love the vocals on "Not David Bowie", particularly when she says "And it is what it is". I don't recall ever hearing her sing like that before. Lovely.

sextonseven said:

Nope. The ones they were selling were the regular versions. In fact, they never even got the B&N version in their store! I don't know if this is currently the case at all the stores.

sextonseven said:

She should've just gone ahead and made "The Beekeeper" a double album if she's not gonna release b-sides anymore.

One disc about betrayal and the other about life, death, birth and love.

JediMaster said:

I figured 15 minutes after the store opened on the release date would do the trick, but there are way too many Tori fans in NYC. I immediately ordered the B&N edition online when I got in to work that day.

GangstaFam said:

Oh wait, I do have Beekeeper too. I couldn't get into that album at all and I'm seein people sayin it was their favorite Maybe after I get more acquainted with the body of her work it might be different.

Question for the Tori Brigade: Do you know if rape victims identify with her at all? Does she fully represent that tragedy in her work or is it more symbolic? I don't know how she's viewed by those women.

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

a lot of long time fans were not thrilled with beekeeper. in fact, next to strange little girls, i think its her least liked amongst the diehards. personally, i love the way she deals with tragedy, blessings, and life in general on that cd. its very adult and not angsty, whiney, pretentious or anything else tori is often accused of.
