Tori Amos"Posses" and Swedish Pop
Since her early '90s breakthrough, Tori Amos has won loyal fans and courted controversy with her songs about sex, religion and politics, not to mention her provocative stage presence. Today, find out if she's mellowed out or remained provocative when she performs songs from her latest album, "American Doll Posse." Also: Swedish It band Peter Bjorn and John pays a visit.
Tori Amos Live
For over 20 years, singer-songwriter Tori Amos has touched on hot-button issues like sexuality, patriarchy and religion. She joins us to talk about impersonating four different archetypes from the Greek pantheon and slamming George Bush on her new album, "American Doll Posse." And she plays live in studio.
How Swede it Is
Swedish pop trio Peter Bjorn & John have received much attention with their song "Young Folks," which was featured on an episode of "Grey's Anatomy." Today the band drops in to talk about "Writer’s Block," their new album drawing on everything from lo-fi 80's electronics and shoe-gaze guitars to slacker beats and icy dreamsapes.
