Not a happy last couple of days. I have felt pretty horrible. Not really able to do much, but I think I am doing a little better at the moment. My mind is constantly going and there are so many things I want to do, but I can't muster any of it. My parents managed to get me out of the house a bit tonight. I also made them watch fight club for the first time. The kept looking at me at various moments throughout the film like I'm crazy... which I guess I am. I don't think it's weird that I am a girl and I own Fight Club, I mean, Linnea owns fight club! Wait...
It's funny that the things I am spending time thinking about now are so similar to the things I was thinking about the year before I left for college: Tori Amos and Personality Theory. It's strangly affirming to have time for these pet obsessions again.
I came up with an introduction to Tori Amos for those of you who scratch your heads at my devotion.
Here are links to VH1's Behind the Music 2 from a few years back, watch parts 1, 2 and 3 for a look at her life (I love this because you get to hear her husband talk a little about her, which is rare since he is so private).
You can read a time line of her life here.
If you've gotten this far and are still intrigued watch a few performances (there is nothing ::nothing:: like Tori in concert):
I love Fight Club. And as for a Tori introduction, could you just give an album. All of this looks very detailed and her corpus is so huge I just have no idea where to start with her music.
Posted by: linnea at January 29, 2006 04:30 PMAs to just "giving an album" that's very specific to the person I am talking to. I listed live song previews from six of her albums for that reason. For you, I would say start with Little Earthquakes. As to the "corpus" the point was an introduction to the artist herself, not just the music, which was how I really got into her in the first place. My first Tori buy was the "Jackie's Strength" single, so I had three songs and obsessive web sites.
