hehe, i'm not sure if any of you went to that link, but i've written some stuff up for The Dent and i thought i'd post it here. if y'all could do even just the first item on the list, it'd be great. I'll keep you updated on how Tori's doing over here  ;D

1) VOTE ON THE NET 50, TRIPLE J
******************************

-Why?
The Net 50 is the veritable who's-who of 'alternative'
music in Australia. Despite being dominated by
prepubescents, as connect-a-mate on Tuesday showed, it
still reache millions of people. A high placing for
Tori on the Net 50 = more airplay = more exposure =
more sales.

-How?
Simply Visit abc.net.au/triplej/net50/vote.htm
and scroll down until you see Strange Little Girl.
VOTE! you can fill in details about yourself too, but
this isn't compulsary. Once you've voted, you'll be
asked if you'd like to vote again. Say YES! Go back,
and choose to fill in your own choice at the bottom of
the page. Choose Winter by Tori.

BOOST WINTER! Since it's not listed on the voting form
for the net 50, no one will be able to vote against it
in the way we vote against everything non-tori. Thus,
our chances of getting it in the charts are pretty
good if we all vote!!!

-Extra Time on Your Hands?
The Net 50 is heavily influenced by 'Hate votes' (i.e
people voting AGAINST songs). To boost Tori's
position, vote AGAINST as many songs as you can! you
can highlight lots of songs at once, and choose to
vote against them. Another idea is to vote against
every song sitting above Tori currently (you can find
out the current chart at
abc.net.au/triplej/net50/latest.htm ). Just
remember to click on the I HATE option before you
vote, or else you'll vote positively for those songs!
And remember, if you then go on to vote for Tozza
again, to check the I LOVE box.



2) VOTE ON SUPER REQUEST, TRIPLE J
*********************************

-Why?
Super Request is Triple J's primetime show, with
maximum listeners and coverage. Tori songs aired will
reach a shitload of people, and help boost her Net 50
placing.

-How?
* if you're in Australia, ring 1800 0555 36 between 6
and 10 EST. if you can get through, request something
other than Strange Little Girl, since that's played
all the time anyway. Ideally, choose Winter. If you
manage to get on air, remember to plug www.oztori.com!
* if you don't want to ring, or are overseas, you can
go here:
abc.net.au/triplej/requests/requests/default.htm
and vote. Fill in the info about yourself (it IS
needed here) and mention oztori in the 'about me'
section!

-Extra Time on Your Hands?
You can vote for as many different songs as you like,
so run through the entire Tori catalouge! Remember,
voting for the same song twice is pointless, as Super
Request is not run on 'number of requests received'
(although, songs that have been requested twice by two
different people often get played).

-Progress?
Tori's been on Super Request every night this week,
including Silent All These Years on Monday!!!



3) REQUEST A CLUB SANDWICH, TRIPLE J
*************************************

If you listen to Triple J at lunchtime, request a Club
Sandwich (3 tracks of your choice). You need three
tracks by different people, but as long as one of them
is Tori (something from her back-catalouge) it's cool.
Another thought, to make the request stand out and to
add a Tori flavour, is to request Blue Skies by BT
(which features Tozza's vocals).


4) REQUEST A VIDEO ON CHANNEL V
********************************

-Why?
It's Australia's biggest music video channel.

-How?
*Ring 1902 220 330
*To vote online you have register, which is pretty
quick, and from there you can vote vote vote.To
register (enabling you to log in) go to:
www.channelv.com.au/register/NewRegistration.asp
To vote, go to:
www.channelv.com.au/by_demand/bydemand_content.asp



5) VOTE FOR A VIDEO ON MUSICMAX
*******************************

-Why?
It's Australia's second biggest video channel.

-How?
Go here: www.musicmax.tv/request/request.asp

Search for Tori Amos. Then fill in your info at the
top of the Search Results page. Then vote.

This site ROCKS! It has heaps of Tori clips to choose
from, and according to their FAQ, they play every song
requested, as many times as it's requested! Here's a
list of all the Tori songs they have. You can vote for
them all: just hit back on your browser:

CORNFLAKE GIRL
CAUGHT A LITE SNEEZE
PAST THE MISSION
PROFESSIONAL WIDOW
SPARK
RASPBERRY SWIRL
GLORY OF THE EIGHTIES
BLISS
1000 OCEANS
CRUCIFY

6) VOTE FOR A VIDEO ON MUSIC COUNTRY
***********************************

To get Tori played, of course!

-How?

I hope you realise that all these celebs are mainly cocksuckers and have huge ego's.  don't go getting your hopes up that tori is nice dude. these people may produce amazing music and all but still their attitudes say too much for them to be considered nice normal people with an average ego.  oh that and most albums... when you buy them the money doesn't go to the artist but the record company....

keep it in mind

[luceluna]

hhhrm.... not sure whether i agree with you. i've actually met/talked to tori, and she was anything but uncaring. my two most admired musical artists, BT and Tori, have both been absolutely awesome to me when i've talked to them. i also interview musicians for a job... and a large majority of them aren't coksuckers at all.

there are exceptions, as is to be expected.... but as for tori: she's announced in the last week that she's decided to tour Australia next year for her album, as a direct result of the efforts of her fans over here.

peace.

keep dreaming mate, people like that don't just TALK to average joe's like you and me.  when you wake up let the world know.

[luceluna]

ah, Quiddity... you've lost the debate, okay? all i was doing was posting a little thread for my friends. i was under no false assumptions - but by the same token, i fully disagree with your statement that "people like that don't just TALK to average joe's like you and me..." - it's just not true. many musicians are humble and caring, and do actually take an interest in their admirers. it's the simple truth. i think most people on this board would agree with me, as most of them have talked to BT at one point or another.

as for tori... well, she's well-known for spending hours with fans at every show. in the days when it was feasible, she used to stay behind after every show to see every single person who wanted to see her.

do i think that i am the sole reason she could possibly tour in australia? no. do i think that her consideration for her fans and her receptiveness to people showing an interest in her have something to do with it? yes.

in closing, i think it all comes down to attitude. i choose to believe in the inherent goodness of most of the artists who i have grown to respect and admire: be they people i know personally or people i've never met. tori is one of those who i believe, in my best judgement, is sincere and caring. i am the most jaded and cynical person i know and i can see a lack of compassion a mile off, but i DO know sincerity when i see it. i think that if you had a little more faith, you would feel the reciprocation of an open mind.

peace  ;D

Look, quiddity, whoever you are, I find your comments quite offensive and you obviously don’t know what you’re talking about.  So if you don’t have anything positive to say, don’t post

['Guest']

simple minds find objective comments offensive....

don't try to patronise me luceluna, you don't win a debate by saying "oh dear, YOU lost".... most people know that is a common sign that the person who says it is losing the debate. never point the finger - you'll lose friends if you even have any to begin with.

[luceluna]

Look, dude, please don't come here if you want to cause trouble. It's not worth it. Everyone here is friends and the fact that you won't even register/reveal yourself kinda shows that all you want to do is stir things up.

If you look back to the begining of this thread, you will see that all I did was post a little something about my own personal experiences with Tori Amos. You replied with a whole string of aggressive generalisations, to which I responded with my own feelings on how reality differed from the picture you painted. You didn't seem able to let things go, and that sucks, frankly. If you'd wanted to disagree with my points intelligently and objectively, rather than just post aggression, that would have been fine.

I'm closing this thread now, to avoid any more negativity.

peace.

Dan
