Subject: Official: Tori Married - So says Q.

This is an article from the latest issue of Q magazine (The UK's music 
Monthly glossy)

Amos Copies Herself

Tori Amos clambered on top of a photocopier to create this Katerina Jebb 
picture for the artwork on her forthcoming, as yet untitled, album. 
"Picture This," Amos told Q. "There's a photocopy office, the fluorescent 
light is still buzzing and there I am snogging the massive machine in the 
corner. The only way you can stay on the machine is to have a piece of your 
body suctioned onto it. It takes seven minutes a picture." Due out in May, 
the album was recorded in Amos's 300-year-old Cornish barn, which she 
converted into a studio with her new husband, the album's engineer, Mark 
Hawley.

END OF ARITICLE.

most will know Mark as Tori's engineer of choice for her live work, along 
with Marcel Van Limbeek.

On a lighter note, I just got front row tix for Sheffield City Hall.   JOY!

Subject: Tori in 2-25-98 New York Times

Tori is mentioned in an article in today's New York Times on Armand van
Helden (nominee for Grammy's first Remixer of the Year.)  It sounds like
Tori was the key to his success:

          "If there's anything Van Helden does not need, it's offers to
remix more songs. Since he turned Tori
          Amos' "Professional Widow" into a house anthem constructed out of
 two bites of Ms. Amos' vocals,
          he has been deluged with offers from everyone from Janet Jackson
to the Rolling Stones. "

The article is online at
http://www.nytimes.com/yr/mo/day/news/arts/pop-life.html, but registration
may be required.

I love it when Tori makes my favorite paper...

From: Intergalactic Garage 
Subject: NEW TORI SINGLE!!!!

Dear Tori Fan -

Still tracking the new Tori single! WEA UK tells us that it will be out in
APRIL, but they still don't have a title for it nor can they tell us how
limited the ltd EP may be. (The most accurate info we have about the new
album (not from WEA UK) is it will be called "From the Choirgirl Hotel" and
will be out in early May!!!!)

Barring any absolutely strange development, both the stock CD-5 and the ltd
CD-5 will be $8.99 on pre-order from Intergalactic Garage.

If you remember last album - - and you ordered from another supplier - -
you may remember that there weren't enough of the ltd CD single to go
around. Many suppliers only received 2 or 3 copies and were unable to fill
their pre-orders!!!

Intergalactic Garage was able to fill HUNDREDS of pre-orders for the ltd
and the  stock copies.

One rule: you must order at least one SET (ltd and unltd) before you can
order multiple copies of the ltd EP. Order NOW!!! We won't charge you, or
you won't have to pay, until we have the title, the official price, and the
RELEASE DATE!!! But ordering NOW will put you in the que to insure that you
don't miss out!!! Let me repeat: you won't be charged until everything is
established about the release (and then you will be notified via this list
that we will be charging your card for your pre-orders.)

As the NEW TORI SEASON BEGINS, LET ME SAY THIS ABOUT INTERGALACTIC GARAGE:
It doesn't seem to be common knowledge, but Intergalactic Garage is NOT a
mega corporation, facelessly operating on the internet, delivering
'product' in baby pizza boxes. We're two people (give or take one part time
person) who have been Tori fans since YKTR and have done everything we can
to offer Tori fans the best ACCESS and the best PRICES on TORI COLLECTIBLES
and STOCK Items. For each single, we service HUNDREDS of collectors. We are
also THE SUPPLIER of Tori's official archive!!! (Check it out!!!)
Unfortunately, some misunderstandings will occur when you are working with
thousands of people as emotionally charged as tori fans are. If you will
judge flames in the perspective of just how many Tori fans we work with, it
will give you a better perspective of how hard we try to make everyone
happy. (and, if you will read a flame from the perspective of how hard the
flamer may be able to work with as a person!!! ;-) OR Come on out to the
shop: 110 West German St, Shepherdstown, WV 25443 and meet Maura, then
you'll get a better idea of just how extreme things have to get before
someone has a problem with Intergalactic Garage. I know this is boring, but
one more thing: I read on RDT the other day that our prices are not low!!
Urgh!!! Check it out yourself!!! Sure, I can't beat fan trades, nobody can
BUT we are usually WAY BELOW PRICES by our 'competitors' AND we actually
DELIVER the STUFF!!! One more thing and I'll get off here: Intergalactic
Garage became a mail order business to help fans get collectible stuff they
couldn't get in their home town, most of our competitors became mail order
shops simply to make money. Think about it, my friend....

And always remember: a collectible is a collectible because they are ltd
and hard to get. We do run out of stock some times but historically we are
very successful at filling every order we receive. Few shops can say that,
especially those big corporate boys.

btw This Tori Season is going to be MEGA!!! If you are interested in a very
cool job in a very cool college town, Intergalactic Garage would like to
talk to you!!!

Sorry for this rant!!! We look forward to serving you soon!!! -Allan :-)

PS Yes, we stil give rewards for good tips!!!

Subject: The REAL title for Tori's new album!

Just saw this on Atlantic's web site.  Turns MTV was wrong about the title
of Tori's album.  The real title is "from the choirgirl hotel."  I guess we
have to be a little more careful about accepting facts from MTV!  :)

"It's official. The highly-anticipated fourth album from Tori Amos is to be
titled "from the choirgirl  hotel." In stores May 5th, the release will be
 preceded by a series of intimate club dates across the  country. The tour,
which kicks off April 18th, will mark  the first-ever performances by Tori
with a full band. In  addition, Tori will perform the first single from
"...  choirgirl hotel" live on CBS-TV's "Late Show With  David Lettterman,"
April 10th. Following "Letterman,"  Tori is also scheduled to make a second
network TV
 appearance on NBC-TV's "The Tonight Show With  Jay Leno" May 12th. Stay
tuned for more details!"

Yours in Tori,
Mikewhy

           visit to NYC this week to make
           preparations for the highly-anticipated
           album, which was recorded in
           Cornwall, England. Tori recently
           announced a series of album
           pre-release U.S. club dates, which will
