Tori Amos can do no wrong when it comes to covers. Sadly this one has never been available to stream (I have the CD from 94 but no means to play it!). You might appreciate my Tori covers playlist.

Reindeer King, Climb, Bats, Bang... all up there with any other songs in her discog.
Can't stop what's coming, can't stop what is on its way...
Enjoy the show! She's been amazing in the opening dates in the UK.
Not quite in the same league of camerawork… but a similar vibe in Manchester last night
I loved how much of a fan he clearly was
It’s like Daisy Dead Petals meets Insect Ballet
Definitely go if you get the chance. I saw her last night in Manchester and it was spectacular. She’s in her 60s now too, so who knows how many more tours she will do. This playlist might help persuade you. open.spotify.com/playlist/0oG...
Body and Soul and Witness were my highlights - she smashed them out of the park
Loved it. Witness, Precious Things and Body and Soul were my favourites.
Farage and co are promising to “reverse the Boriswave” again today. Apart from the fact that two of the main architects of Tory home affairs policy at the time are now senior figures in Reform, net migration is already down 80% since the Boris peak. Is it too much to ask our media to point this out?
Enjoy the show!
There isn’t a bad song on that record. My personal favourites are Virginia and Carbon. I saw her in Bristol the other night and she played five from this album!
She’s got several three track runs that are equally insane: Caught a Lite Sneeze/Muhammad My Friend/Hey Jupiter is one but my personal favourite is Scarlet’s Walk/Virginia/Gold Dust. Am seeing her tonight in Manchester and hoping to hear some of these songs.
Do catch up with the later stuff. Everything from Night of Hunters on is excellent. Songs like Reindeer King, Forest of Glass, Metal Water Wood, Star Whisperer, Climb, Shush, Bang, Bats, Oysters… all as good as the 90s material.

The AI image Trump posted depicting him as the Messiah.
It's the Second Dumbing.
I was there last night and there was palpable shock - then cheering & applause - when she changed the lyric from “will you find me if Neil makes me a tree?” to “will you find me in the Battle of Trees?”. And today she’s revealed she’s cut him out of her and her daughter’s life in a Times interview.

Watching the amazing Tori Amos live in Birmingham and she just brutally chopped a lyric referencing Neil Gaiman (an old friend and collaborator and godfather to her daughter) from her song Horses. There had been lots of speciation about what she would do with her lyrics referencing him.
I’m seeing her tomorrow in Birmingham!
Quite a moment: Melania becomes the first member of the administration trying to distract the public’s attention back to Epstein in order to get them to stop talking about Iran.
Salt-cured pork belly originated in China and was later used by the Romans before spreading through Europe, including to Britain.
Good to see Ed Miliband has approved the UK’s largest solar farm, despite the usual hysterical NIMBY protests and media coverage absurdly likening it to Chernobyl. The UK urgently needs to ensure independent energy security, and has stood back and watched China race ahead on solar in recent years.
She’s still making albums and had more chart success than Kate Bush in the US (with 10 top 10 albums) and sells out venues like Red Rocks or Royal Albert Hall in her 60s. She hasn’t had a Stranger Things moment but there are always some younger people at her shows. open.spotify.com/playlist/2Xf...
For me Scarlet’s Walk and Boys for Pele are her twin masterpieces.
I’m seeing her in a couple of days’ time in Birmingham and have my best of Tori playlist on heavy rotation.

Great insight into the new album and some amazing picks from Tori. Glad she chose Reindeer King in particular; that’s such a wonderful song.
Likewise! Am going to the Birmingham show and have my best of Tori playlist on heavy rotation.

Yes, there are a couple of singles out already. This one namechecks Courtney Love and quotes Peter Thiel. It’s pretty awesome.
