Tori on Studio Brussels
|
On November 3, 1999, Tori did a promotional performance for Studio Brussels, an alternative radio station in Belgium. She performed in front of a small group of people and also did an interview. Thanks to Toriphile Jill Verbaendert, I now have a complete transcript of Tori's interview, as well as the full set list she did during the performance. (The radio station only aired 4 of the 7 songs she performed.) Read the transcript and additional details below.
Here is the set list of what Tori performed in the studio:
Purple People
Cooling
Bliss
Concertina
Take To The Sky
Lust
1000 Oceans
These are the songs that Studio Brussels actually aired:
Bliss
Concertina
Take to the Sky
Lust
Here is a transcript of Tori's interview:
* I was told you were tired.
-(little laugh) Erm, I've been working a lot, but (note: I don't understand what she says now. Maybe it's an expression, or maybe I'm going deaf. Well, my English probably just isn't that good...) they > never presume, you know. I always have one claw ready.
*Can I say that I think your piano-playing and even your singing has changed?
-(hesitates a little) I guess everything kinda changes, so does the size of my jeans.
*(laughs) Did it..did it...nono, I won't ask that one, no no. Do you bring like a truck of clothes?
-Erm, the airlines have treathend me, let's put it that way. (laughs)
*You thank a certain fearie for making space cakes in the booklet of TVAB.
- Er, yes, (laughs)always.
*Well, it's legal in Belgium, so we can talk about it.
-Oh, good, ok, good. (note: again, I can't really understand what she's saying now...so if the next line doesn't make sense...my bad! It went down > really well in Cornwall. We had them about every, er, I don't know, every couple of weeks there was a space cake night.
*And did you record after eating the space cakes?
-(laughs) Can't do anything after eating a space cake (laughs again).
*Well, you can have a great time...
-The words, you know, they're references of some of the things. There's...when I make a record, normally, life goes on. We're always on location, so it's not like you're seprated from everybody. Say you work for maybe 7 hours, and then everybody goes back to their flats and has their social life. But we're all social together.
*Another thing I read, you thank two doctors [in the TVAB booklet].
-(hesitates)...yeah...I do...
*That's personal maybe, I don't know.
-No, it's just kind of thanking people that have an influence in some way, just whether they're good friends or they're just sort of there when the chips, ships >are down. Or they...I don't know...help the crew in times of need, if you know what I mean.
*Yeah, yeah, I know what you mean. Alright, one last question, because we have to go. Some people say I need a clean shave. Do I need to shave? (note: for people in Belgium and maybe Holland: Chris Dusouchoit, who did the interview, looks kinda ësleazyí, you know. Heís got the messy hair/beard thing going on.)
-Why do people say that?
*They say I look like, you know, like I come right out of the gutter.
-I don't know about the gutter you you might of come out of say, New Mexico, turn of the century, erm, holding up a bank, but I don't know what's wrong with that!
*Thank you very much!
