Tori Amos - 'from the choirgirl hotel' sync listen - 8PM TONIGHT!

[Cerro de Casa]

*another opportunity for me to quote the misogynistic cruel review at the TIME which I still can't dig out anywhere

 

[Iguana]

3. black dove (january)

 

[Cerro de Casa]

The CRUEL finale with the synths and drums SHUTTING IT ALL DOWN is the most disturbing moment ever
(live version even betteR)

 

[jivafox]

She never let on how insane it was
in that tiny kinda scary house
by the woods, by the woods, by the woods, by the woods

What an OPENING

 

[Cerro de Casa]

3. black dove (january)

I remember watching potato quality clips of it online back in the day from the tour and just dying and dying at the way she modulated 'by the WOOOHOOODS' live

 

[Iguana]

This was one of my early faves. I remember sitting in a history class with this going through my head, just wanting to get out the class and listen to it

 

[jivafox]

The way the layers are added on as the song goes on.

 

[Cerro de Casa]

This is such an X-Files song. I mean, '98 peak X-Files and I don't mean in a twee Mulder & Scully Catatonia way. I mean, like, proper other side of the galaxy eleganza

 

[Tisch]

The way the layers are added on as the song goes on.

Truly takes you to the other side of the galaxy

 

[Iguana]

BUT I HAVE TO GET TWO TAXIS*

*Yeah I know but come on she does sing it right

 

[jivafox]

To get the same atmosphere musically, I had to describe a scene of the movie Fargo to my musicians. A car is coming towards the camera from a long distance, very slowly. You know it will arrive in a moment. But you hope that this will never happen. My nightmares are so bad, that I mostly reject it when my friends want to take me to a cinema to watch a horror movie. Then I say, "No, thank you. I will dream in a few hours."

When I was 17 I invited friends round when my parents were out and put this on FULL BLAST

They asked me to turn it down

[Cerro de Casa]

I am not your señorita

The reverse Warholian shade of it all cutting a MUG & a RUG at the same time mamaa

5. Jackie's strength

 

[Cerro de Casa]

I like when she said her parties involved dancing with friend chicken in one hand and a jug of margarita in the other while she was recording this album

 

[jivafox]

 

[Cerro de Casa]

Before I step into my Jackie persona I will have to post this picture because there's no way I am letting this thread pass by without posting the 17th Most Iconic Photograph of All Time

 

[Iguana]

She looks gorgeous in this video

 

[Tisch]

A Bouvier till her wedding day
Shots rang out the police came
Mama laid me on the front lawn
And prayed for Jackie's strength

 

[Iguana]

For a ballad, there a real urgency to Jackie. I think it's the strings

 

[jivafox]

She looks gorgeous in this video

STUNNIN'

[Iguana]

RIP Bean

 

[Cerro de Casa]
