Is this in the right thread? Yeah. Itās not up to her later stuff, at all:
But I love Toriā¦ love her.
Wow. Not even on my radar in 88. I like a lot of her post 90 stuff. Was it all this cringe-worthy back then?
Do you mean all music, or just Toriās early stuff?
It was just one album, it was a commercial flop, and didnāt really represent her voice - she never liked it, I think. This came right before Little Earthquakes, which is miles away a better album and is clearly much more Tori and much less the label. I suspect the label was trying to capitalize off stuff like the video right above (which is strangely what reminded me of Y Kant Tori Read).
Agreed, there was quite a bit of good music during that time period, but those werenāt exemplary.
wow technopop tori amosā¦ thatās ummm interesting.
I knowā¦ itās soā¦ un-Tori like.
she really seems to umm love that piano in the video though.
She loves her piano in all her videos where she plays itā¦ Are you unfamiliar with Tori?
I have,(had, do I still have it? i will have to check) Under The Pink. But I honestly have never seen a video till now and never went to a show. Am I showing my age if I first thought that it was Kate Bush when I heard her on the radio?
Oh, sheās kind of big on theatrics on the pianoā¦ Here, MTV unplugged:
You know what I wantā¦ I want to see Tori, Kate Bush, Amanda Palmer and Regina Spektor all go on tour together. 4 ladies, one piano! But they all have to play covers of the otherās songs. Iād pay mad money for that show.
You forgot Bjork.
(Kate Bush follows, had the misfortune of getting this one stuck in my head for a few months about a decade ago.)
No, I have a very specific idea in mind - Kate, Tori, AFP, and Regina - they all play piano, and they go on tour, play each others songs, and they have to travel place to place in a VW bug, while their one big grand piano gets carted around in some posh truck.
I have thought long and hard about this. Bjork gets her own tour. Cause Bjorkā¦
Also, KATE SHOULD NOT BE IN THE AWFUL SONG THREAD, YOU HERETIC!!! KATE IS A GODDESS!!!
Ok, but I get a pass on this song, surely?
(I wonāt be offended if you say Iām a stupid man and how can you expect me to āget itā anyway.)
ETA Aw shucks
Hmā¦
But youāre not a stupid manā¦ Not in the least.
FTFY, since she seems to be happiest when sandwiched between two pianos!
(A 3-way with some Stein-ways?..Iāll show myself out.)
That also belongs in the awesome songs threadā¦
Well between hearing it recently on Crayons to Perfume and @jlw posting about Get Smart today.
This is one of those that is both awful and awesome at the same time.
Oh internet rabbit hole how you amuse me.
