Tori Amos

Wednesday, December 09, 2009

Some unlikely artists have produced holiday albums this year, including Bob Dylan and metal god Rob Halford of Judas Priest. But Tori Amos - the minister's daughter who titled her last album Abnormally Attracted to Sin - might be the most surprising candidate. The singer and pianist talks about overhauling carols for her new album, Midwinter Graces, and performs live.

Guests:

Tori Amos

It's been a long while since this broadcast (now July), but I will ALWAYS remember fondly the winter afternoon spent with my boyfriend, my secret crush (John), and my beloved hero, Tori. Bliss...! Thank you.

I've never listened to WNYC before; I came to check it out because I'm a Tori fan. I narrowly missed hearing this live (Portland is of course three hrs behind you guys), so I hope this will become a podcast? Also, I am sure Ms. Amos is indeed into nutty granola and treacle in stonehenge shaped jars (that's really funny actually), but probably not Charmed. I also don't think there is any relation between she and Ms. Crow or Aerosmith. There's smart, right-on fun-poking, then there's lazy pot shots.

Addendum to above: If I try to watch it on the wnyc home page, the text shifts so I can read it. It says that the server is not found. I wish I could be watching!

The webcast isn't working, but the error message is in tiny white font on the white background so I can't read it. Is it working for anyone else? Any tips for how to make it work?

Wow first Sheryl Crow, now Tori Amos; is Aerosmith going to be on the show tomorrow? I'll have to listen.
