A place to discuss and post reviews for the Lottapianos Concert Tour
Posted Mon, Jul 28, 2003 - 2:14am ET | Tour
While I still want you to email the Dent (mikewhy@iglou.com) with your reviews and comments for the the current Lottapianos Tour, I would also like to make you aware of a new online forum where you can post concert reviews and discuss the shows. Toritraders.com has created their Concert Reviews Forum, and I would like to suggest that anyone who wants a more interactive place to post reviews can do so there! (If you hear about the show while it is still going on, you can post about that there as well.) The forum is run by dedicated fans, and I feel it could be a wonderful spot to trade tour experiences with each other.

What we know about Tori's upcoming "Best of" album, which will likely be released November 17/18, 2003
Posted Sun, Jul 27, 2003 - 6:09pm ET | Music
We know that there will be a new "Greatest Hits" CD released later in 2003 by Atlantic. I have decided to refer to it as the "Best Of" album, since Tori called it that during her Redmond, WA meet and greet, and a trusted European source saw an offical release schedule from Warner France, and it calls the upcoming CD "Tori Amos, Best of". That same release schedule gives a release date of November 18, 2003 for this album, which sounds like the likely U.S. release date as well. Danny, who works for a large music chain in the U.K., has seen a listing calling it "Tori Amos: Best Of" with a U.K. release date of November 17, 2003. There is still info at pauseandplay.com that claims this album will surface on October 7, 2003, but that seems too early to me based on what I am now hearing. We do not know the exact content of the album, but we have read articles lately that make it clear that Tori has been in her Cornwall Studio recording some material with the band. An article in the July 24, 2003 Tacoma News Tribune suggests that there could be new songs on the album (although I have yet to see something definitive about that), while we also know for sure that some of her older songs have been "reworked".

Toriamos.com posts the Lottapianos Request List: Vote for the song you want Tori to play on tour!
Posted Sat, Jul 19, 2003 - 6:50am ET | Tour
Dan and Robert were the first to tell me that Toriamos.com has placed a poll on the web site where fans can vote for the song they most want to hear on the upcoming Lottapianos Summer 2003 Tour. There is a list of 26 songs, and I was surprised to see a lot of really wonderful and rare songs on there, like Do It Again, Datura, Way Down, and Indian Summer. (There is a song called "Ms. Otis Regrets" that I have not seen associated with Tori before. I believe this is a Cole Porter song.) However, you can only vote for one song. Go to Toriamos.com, and you will see the link to the poll in the Lottapianos pop-up that appears on the site. (I am torn between Suede, Datura, and Do It Again myself!)

Tori's version of "I'm Not In Love" played during 'All My Children'; Related RAINN Charity auction at eBay
Posted Sat, Jul 12, 2003 - 2:02am ET | Sightings
On Tuesday, July 8, 2003, Tori's version of "I'm Not In Love" was featured prominently on the ABC soap All My Children. Many thanks to all the people who sent me email about this, including e m and Karolyn who were first. The song was played during a pivotal scene in which a major character was raped. The following day they broadcast a RAINN PSA after the TV program. Luci tells me that in connection with the rape storyline on All My Children involving Bianca Montgomery (played by Eden Riegel), BAM fans (Bianca & Maggie) have organized a charity auction on eBay that will run throughout the month of July 2003 with all proceeds going to RAINN (Rape, Abuse, & Incest National Network). The auction will include various items autographed by AMC cast members, phone calls from the cast, and other non-AMC related items. [Click for details...]

Voting in the Taxivision Contest is now over
Posted Sat, Jul 12, 2003 - 1:09am ET | Toriphiles
If you check out the Taxivision Web Page, you will now see a message that voting is now over and to check back on Monday, July 14, 2003 to find out which Taxivision entry was Tori's favorite. I am not sure if they will show the final voting results because it appears that the winning entry will be Tori's favorite and not come as a result of the voting, which seems to have been more for fun than anything else. Stay tuned...
