...So shoot me.



Especially "A Piano" right now. I'm just overwhelmed by the amount of amazing Tori songs.

Vultures in my garden, figures that I know them...

Ooh, I love Not David Bowie!

You know, I thought of making an artist of the day thread, but I just never got around to it. I guess great minds really do think alike.

Throwing Muses

"There's comfort in melancholy
it's just as natural as the weather
in this moody sky today"

from her deepest album, 'Hejira'.

i'm done posting here, as i don't like liz phair that much anymore..

trampoline, glad to see that I am not alone

Ah, someone else here that likes Hejira. Glad to find out that I'm not alone.

Tegan and Sara




-made a mixtape of their songs which i didn't really think served its purpose well so i discarded it. i did like the songs i put in but i didn't like the whole feel of it. i failed.

songs:
my number
i bet it stung
i know i know i know
monday monday monday
living room
downtown
speak slow (this one, i think, ruined it for me)
fix you
a couple of other tracks

i did enjoy these songs while listening to them.

POE

Lol seeing that along with your current avatar makes Tori look like Ariel...

You've got your looks.

Your pretty face.

And don't underestimate the importance of... BODY LANGUAGE HAHA!

Ive been listening to garbage like crazy lately, i just cant fucking wait until the DVD videos are fucking released!

I ADORE THAT MOMENT.




Goldenhorse.

Mostly the accoustic version of London Rain

I love that picture - it's from the tour I saw her on!!!

Really? Neato!

My choice of artist of the day is Al Stewart, particularly the early works (Past, Present & Future).

Akira Yamaoka. Back near the top again.

I am going to say Shonen Knife. I had no idea they were so prolific! I am enjoying this killer single CD I stole.

I was going to say Graham Nash, but I've decided to select Judee Sill as the artist of the day instead.

i like shonen knife's song top of the werld. so cute.

rest in peace to one of them. she died. i forgot who. i think one of them is playing guitar for pink or something.

Veruca Salt

Lucinda Williams

she's like. along the vein of Ryan Adams/Wilco. she's just awesome (when i'm in the mood.) perhaps similar to Aimee Mann/FIona APple, bc she cares about her lyrics, but more country-ish. smokes a lot of cigs, raw voice. I love her first 3 albums, didn't love her last two, Essence or World Without, kind of dragged

I'm praying this new one is good... : )

I hope this was an accurate description I can send people songs if anyone wants

[and yes, i'm back ]

That's before Louise got fat and became a total bitch. They look happily pretty, very nice picture.

huh? she must be a member of Veruca Salt..

nah, lucinda wasn't. QP was referring to the pic coolchick posted. he has issues about louise powering through with the VS moniker. i kind of do too. but i liked their last album.

oh i like lucinda. her voice can be really affecting, although the essence album which is the only thing i've heard from her is kind of way too.. country for me. and i guess, i wasn't in the mood or prepared for that. i did like the title track and the song "blue". i think i should check out car wheels on a gravel road, since so many people think it's her best. nice choice, halli.

Artist of the Day for me is..

Keren Ann

only because i'm listening to her latest album. ah her voice is a knock out. her music reminds me of french coffee house love affairs, very implosive.

This couldn't get any better,
she didn't get it so fuck her.

Blair, that "fuck" is perhaps the most brutal use of the word I have ever heard. I nearly flinch when I hear it. She sounds like a snake hissing and spitting poison on that track.

But I prefer Nina's subtler "ding-dong the witch is dead" on Black and Blonde.

The latest album is getting good reviews. I've got World Without Tears, and yeah, it did drag a bit, but I liked some of the songs. I need to try some of the samples that are out there.

was that from born entertainer, QP.

louise was such a bitch. when i listen to the most bile ridden songs in resolver, i just imagine it's someone else because when i think of lou bashing nina, i go into a i hate lou mode. nina just makes me want to root for her. my favorite moments in resolver are the slower ones like disconnected, which is so about dave grohl and how he left her for winona ryder.

lou pretty much apologized to nina though, in the latest album. the song is called salt flat epic.
and nina bashed dave in bones and a name.

Nerina Pallot.

The sublime Liz Phair.



especially whitechocolatespaceegg and the demos/shelved tracks from that era.

Rufus Wainwright. In 2005 he was my favorite and I was obsessed, then I stopped listening to him. But then I started listening to his debut a couple days ago and it made me remember why I liked him so much.

Aimee Mann!!

one of my favorite artists; i even had a dream abt her last night- nothing weird, just meeting her. she has an intense look to her, doesn't she?

just wanted to make sure she got up here...


why thank you

i can send you some songs if need be.. Lake Charles and Jackson are the best (and.. she is really country, lol)

Natalie Merchant. She will always be my favorite.

I almost picked up the Retrospective album when I was over at Fry's. I was picking up a replacement wireless router for the house. The one that we have right now keeps dropping the wireless connection and I have to reboot the router.

I ended up not getting any albums.

I had 10000 Maniacs - Our Time in Eden on casette, but never got it on CD. I'm looking at that one as well.

Our Time in Eden is my favorite 10k Maniacs CD (well, actually it's tied with MTV Unplugged). If you get the Natalie Retrospective, make sure that you get the 2 disc version. It's worth the extra money.

lisa germano

Siouxsie and the Banshees

Mostly for

Halloween
Peek-a-boo
Christine
and Venus in Furs.

Kelly Osbourne

Isn't this topic reserved for artists?

You're so not hilarious.

In all fairness, CA does have a valid point.

camera obscura - let's get out of this country

Northern Lad

I feel like this song is so torn. It has the best most accessible qualities of Tori Amos: wry lyrics, interesting piano driven melodies, dour imagery and subject matter; but is also has the worst, namely long strained vocal interludes (which personally I love to "not bothered by"; but I am a fan afterall). So I feel like this could easily be a new fans favorite or just as easily least favorite song by her depending on their mood/taste/persistence.

Anyway, it seems like the least bogged down by electronic elements on the entire Choirgirl record. I especially love the line

"I had a northern lad,
well not exactly had."

Someone keep this song away from me if I ever break up with someone, it is one of those lamenting, we will all die and it seems so much closer tracks.

i have no idea what the song is about but i love northern lad. the melody is just really beautiful and sweeping.

Northern Lad is one of my favorite Tori songs. I like the Glissando thing she does on "because". I think it's cool.

The song isn't about breaking up, it's about her husband.

And I love it, it's one of my favourites.



Oh and today, I've really been into Madonna's Ray Of Light. I even suprise myself.

Oh I don't mind, in fact few Tori songs are as simple as :I am being dumped: I am just saying it is one of those songs that upon the first listen I said to myself "you may cry to this sog one day".

That's because you cry at everything, you soppy little thing.

OHBIJOU

really beautiful melodies, really beautiful female vocals, this collective makes really beautiful music and they're from canada so that makes them cute as a button.
check them out.

Kiss my ass face. (because I wub you.)

Aw, little wet tears on my baby's shoulder.
