Tori Amos: Christmastide (ep)

Tori Amos Christmastide (ep) Decca (UMO) Tori Amos has released a Christmas EP – it’s a clever bit of holiday-related merch for her fans but this is Christmas-adjacent as much as it is anything resembling true holiday fare. These are original songs, there’s mention of Christmas directly in the title track and there’s clues in […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 11

Tori Amos, Under The Pink (1994) It’s been a pretty good year for reappraising Tori Amos. I’ve been back through most of the catalogue, I talked about her live on air (RNZ), I loved her memoirand I got hooked on the old stuff all over again. Someone kindly gave me a copy of Boys For […]

Bat For Lashes: The Boys of Summer (Live at EartH, London, 2019)

Bat For Lashes The Boys of Summer (ep) Bat For Lashes I’ve long been a fan of covers that go deep beyond anything resembling a ‘novelty factor’; covers where the artist (always a gifted songwriter of course) takes apart a classic track and rebuild it, not to make it better but simply to better understand […]

RNZ Feature: Tori Amos

I always love having a chat about music on RNZ – I look forward to the chance every month or so to have a natter and for this feature I got to talk about Tori Amos – specifically the early albums – I was a fan from when I first heard them. I haven’t always kept […]

Tori Amos: Resistance – A Songwriter’s Story of Hope, Change, and Courage

Resistance: A Songwriter’s Story of Hope, Change, and Courage Tori Amos Atria Books As soon as I caught the news that it was happening I was excited about this book – I see myself as something of a lapsed-fan when it comes to Tori Amos; I have nothing but fond memories of the first few […]

Tori Amos: Broken Silence (Live 1992)

Tori Amos Broken Silence (Live 1992) Shockwaves Another day another bootlegged radio broadcast – this one from Toronto; this one from Tori Amos around the time of the release of her debut album. What a debut that was – and is! And here we have Tori showcasing what is now her known style as live […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 159

Tori Amos, Boys For Pele (1996) The other week a guy I know on Twitter sent me a message offering me a copy of this Tori Amos album. No catch. He’d ordered it and doubled-up. He didn’t need it, had no use for it. He offered it to me. A simple – but very kind […]

St. Vincent: MassEducation

St. Vincent MassEducation Loma Vista I rather like St. Vincent’s music – but just recently, I watched her rather amazing performance at Austin City Limits (a highlight, topped only by Sir Paul of Macca) – and commented that it would be nice if she had some songs. That’s where it all falls over. Art as […]

Milos Karadaglic: Blackbird – The Beatles Album

Milos Karadaglic Blackbird: The Beatles Album Mercury Classics Wait! Wait! This is a contemporary classical guitar album covering The Beatles. But this is the work of Milos Karadaglic – most often referred to as simply Milos. And he can sure play. Though some of the treatments might be a bit watery, a bit John Williams-esque […]

Nicole Andrews: In The Shallows

Nicole Andrews In The Shallows Nicole Andrews Music To write and record one song as if sniffing a lock of Tori Amos’ hair would be, well, creepy. But (possibly) human. A mistake maybe, or explained away even as endearing love-letter to an early and so-obvious influence. To record an entire album of them makes any […]

Tori Amos: Unrepentant Geraldines

Tori Amos Unrepentant Geraldines Mercury Classics I had a long break from Tori Amos; from her music. I just couldn’t care about it. It seems Tori Amos fans really care about her music. And they really feel it man! I couldn’t. I didn’t. I loved those first three records – I enjoyed bits and pieces […]
