I just went on national radio!!!

wooooo!!! I just went on Australia's national alternative station, Triple J, and talked about Tori Amos! There's a show called Super Request, and I got through, live on air, and talked to the presenter about Strange Little Girls (her new album) and how great it was. I told her all about my visit to America last month to see Tozz perform (and see Dana, Shammy and XS, of course, hehe) and about Oztori, an Aussie mailing list, which i plugged on air! Then she played rattlesnakes for me!

This all comes on the heels of a big push for Tori by Aussie fans... as i detailed in another thread in this forum.

I'm so excited! I just plugged our beloved Tori to millions of people! yay! Next time it WILL be BT

Good job!
Tori is unbelievable! Her songs should get played more often.
I am so envious of you getting to see her live  
that must have been awesome.

wow, you like Tori and Counting Crows? now all you need to do is tell me you like BT and we will have identical musical tastes!  ;D

and on the subject of Tori live.... it was stunning.... shocking.... breathtaking.... heartbreaking.

i actually intended to go to the concert with someone else... and that would have been truly the most poetic night of my life.... but at least i got one half of my wish!

Rattlesnakes has got to be one of Tori's best! It's a bit of a fav. with me. her new album is also tops! ALL you people out there who don't have strange little girls should go out and buy it now!    ;D

Jodie wears a hat although it hasn’t rained for six days
she says a girl needs a gun these days
hey on account of all the rattlesnakes
she looks like Eve Marie Saint in on the waterfront
she reads Simone de Beauvoir in her American circumstance
she’s less than sure if her heart has come to stay in San Jose
and her neverborn child still haunts her now
as she speeds down the freeway
as she tries her luck with the traffic police
out of boredom more than spite
she never finds no trouble, she tries too hard
she’s obvious despite herself
she looks like Eve Marie Saint in on the waterfront
she says all she needs is therapy
all you need is love is all you need
Jodie never sleeps ‘cause there are always needles in the hay
she says that a girl needs a gun these days
hey on account of all the rattlesnakes
hey on account of all the rattlesnakes
she looks like Eve Marie Saint in on the waterfront
as she reads Simone de Beauvoir in her American circumstance
her heart, heart’s like crazy paving
upside down and back to front
she says ooh, it’s so hard to love
when love was your great disappointment
count those rattlesnakes
she says a girl needs a gun these days
on account of all the rattlesnakes
hey on account of all the rattlesnakes

Tori Amos

"it’s so hard to love
