Great Tori interview at uncut.net; Mentions that Tori may tour Europe/U.K. in May 2005!
Posted Fri, Feb 04, 2005 - 5:16am ET | Articles
There is a good interview with Tori at the British web site uncut.net where Tori says several interesting things about her new album The Beekeeper and some political comments. At the end, the article states that Tori "will tour Europe and the UK in May." We will have to wait for more official word about that, but it is hopeful news for European Toriphiles waiting to find out if Tori will tour there this year! The article also says that The Beekeeper will be released on Monday, February 28, 2005. Does this mean that the album will be delayed a week in the U.K.? We will have to wait and see... Many thanks to ignacio gomez for letting us know about this.

For U.K. Toriphiles: Ordering The Beekeeper from Amazon.co.uk
Posted Fri, Feb 04, 2005 - 2:46am ET | Merchandise
During the last few weeks, Toriphiles in the U.K. have found ordering Tori's album The Beekeeper from Amazon.co.uk to be confusing. They have had several different Beekeeper listings, with some listed as Imports and others not clearly telling you if the version of the album you were buying was the regular or Special Edition/Bonus DVD version. It now appears that the folks at Amazon.co.uk have it sorted out! They now have listings for both versions of The Beekeeper. These are U.K. versions of the albums and NOT imports! They also have three import listings, but those are not important unless you are a die-hard, must have everything collector. So if you are a Toriphile in the U.K. and you want to order this album from Amazon.co.uk, here are the links you can use. (Your purchase will also help the Dent.) If you have already ordered this album, check and make sure you have ordered the correct item and make changes as needed...
Pre-Order The Beekeeper (Special Edition) from Amazon UK
Pre-Order the regular version of The Beekeeper from Amazon UK
To be fair, there are other U.K. online vendors selling the album. You can find some of them on my Beekeeper Page.

I am happy to report that U.K. Toriphiles can once again pre-order the book Tori Amos: Piece By Piece from Amazon.co.uk!

So if you are in the U.K. and want to order the book online, you can now do so from Amazon.co.uk. If you do so using any of the links on The Dent, you will also help support this web site!

Details about the new book "Hanging Out With the Dream King: Interviews with Neil Gaiman and His Collaborators"
Posted Thu, Jan 27, 2005 - 12:47am ET | NeilGaiman
 I first reported on this book last June, and wanted to post an update. There is a new book edited by Joe McCabe called Hanging Out With the Dream King: Interviews with Neil Gaiman and His Collaborators from Fantagraphics Books, which will be released in most bookstores on January 31, 2005. (Comic book stores however have been selling the book since December 29, 2004.) You can also order the book from Amazon.com. This 280 page book includes an interview with Neil and with many of the people he has collaborated with over the years. One of the interviews in the book is with Tori Amos! Past descriptions of the book stated that Tori wrote the book's intro, but that is not true. (Neil did.) You can see the book's cover to the right. Other people interviewed include Charles Vess, P. Craig Russell, Bryan Talbot, Jill Thompson, Sandman co-creators Sam Kieth and Mike Dringenberg and Alice Cooper. Tori's interview in the book will include an amazing drawing from artist Herb Leonhard. The book also features, in its color section, the publication of Bill Sienkiewicz's gorgeous Tori painting from the 2005 RAINN calendar cover. [Click for details...]

'Sleeps With Butterflies' Video News
Posted Wed, Jan 26, 2005 - 11:40pm ET | Music
Toriamos.com has just revealed some Sleeps With Butterflies video news! They state the following:
This coming weekend (Jan 29) Tori will be busy shooting the video for "Sleeps with Butterflies." She's tapped Laurent Briet to direct her latest video endeavor. He's worked with the likes of Radiohead, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Aphex Twins. Rumor is she's chosen to work with Laurent because his concepts are hugely influenced by illustrators and painters, similar to Tori's. Stay tuned for a clip!
In other news, ToriAmos.com has posted the week of February 28th as the broadcast date for Tori's appearance on Last Call With Carson Daly. (We earlier heard February 24th, but this may no longer be the case.) The show should still tape however on Monday, February 21, 2005. (Thanks Megan.)
Tentative Tour Dates for Tori in April 2005!
Posted Wed, Jan 26, 2005 - 3:40am ET | Tour
NeilQuinn sent me a special 'One Sheet' for Tori's new album The Beekeeper. This is a special sheet of information that is sent out to record retailers right before an album is released to tell them about the release and some of the promotion taking place. This sheet mainly covered information we already knew, but did list a tentative tour schedule to Tori's solo tour in April 2005! These dates do not list venues, and should be considered strictly tentative and unofficial until we hear more. But since many retailers have been sent this information, I feel it is okay to post it here. Remember, this is for the solo tour. We have been told there will be a tour with the band in the summer, and then we will see more tour dates.
April 1 - Tampa, FL
April 3 - Orlando, FL
April 4 - Atlanta, GA
April 6 - Washington, DC
April 8 - New York, NY
April 11 - Philadelphia, PA
April 12 - Boston, MA
April 15 - Chicago, IL
April 17 - Dallas, TX
April 19 - Denver, CO
April 22 - Seattle, WA
