It looks like Tori will be recording a new album this summer!

There is a small Tori mention at Mattchamberlain.com where Tori's drummer says he will be recording with Tori for about a month around July 2004.

Status Of The Dent
Posted Tue, Jun 01, 2004 - 4:35pm ET | Miscellaneous
On Sunday night, May 30th, a series of very severe storms went through the Louisville, KY area. The winds were extremely strong and caused a huge number of trees to fall destroying power lines in the process. As a result, my area of town has lost power and they do not expect to restore power for several more days at least. Therefore, my updates to The Dent may be infrequent as I deal with this, and as I am able to get access to the web elsewhere. Thanks for your patience as I work through all this. All will be back to normal soon I hope!

The editing of Professional Widow on WTSF
Posted Fri, May 21, 2004 - 12:17pm ET | Music
I have received several emails from fans asking about the editing out of certain words during Tori's performance of Professional Widow on Welcome To Sunny Florida. They have asked me why this was done. I do not have the answers to that. It appears to be a decision made by her label due to the fact that DVDs are rated like films and they did not want to limit the audience for the release. As far as I know, all the copies are "clean" and there are no unedited versions for sale. I personally do not feel that it hurts the quality of the release, and I do not agree that it ruins the release, as some of the reviews I have gotten have stated. It was likely a carefully thought out business decision. Not everything "objectionable" was taken out of the DVD, and it is still a wonderful product. That is my personal feeling about it, although I know there are some who feel otherwise.
