Therefore, make sure the zip code you entered when you signed up for the mailing list is correct. (Sign up again if you need to to make sure your zip code is correct.)

Imogen Heap will definitely NOT be part of the Summer Of Sin Tour
Posted Wed, Jul 20, 2005 - 9:39pm ET | Tour
We earlier reported that Tori's support acts for the Summer Of Sin tour would be The Ditty Bops and Imogen Heap. We now know for sure that Imogen Heap will not be part of the tour. Imogen posted this fact in her iblog on July 20, 2005. (Thanks to Clint for letting me know.) Imogen writes:
Ok...you know that Tori tour...well...erm...it's not happening. I'm really sorry for anyone who's already bought tickets in the hope of catching me play. Some of you know I STILL haven't signed a licensing deal for the states yet (my goodness these things take time!) and it's now only 3 weeks until it would have kicked off. Also due to the exchange rate it's almost twice as expensive for a US label to fly me out as ususal and at the start of the album US campaign that is a lot of money gone... I am going to tour the States. YOU BET! I will make up for it. A little later in the year i'll be over there in some form or another and it'll make much more sense timing wise too. I hope you understand. I feel bad that i may have pissed off Tori too. I'm sure she'll understand. She's a Pro!
Therefore it appears that The Ditty Bops will be the only support act for Tori this summer, unless another one is quickly added in the next couple weeks.

New iTunes Essentials compilation available at the iTunes Music Store!
Posted Sat, Jul 16, 2005 - 9:00am ET | Music
 Charity was the first to tell me about a new 45-song compilation that you can now buy at the iTunes Music Store, at least in the U.S. This compilation is called iTunes Essentials and simply combines 45 Tori tracks together. (None of the tracks are new by the way!) The cost is $44.55, which is the same cost that it would be if you downloaded each song individually, but you do get the convenience of getting all the songs at once. It would make a great introduction to give to a new Tori fan! You can see the cover to the right.
