Buzz In: What Has Been Your Favorite Concert?
Tori Amos made a cameo in Oakland last night for the third stop on her Sinful Attraction tour, and I was one of the many in attendance. It wasn't the first time I had seen her, but it had been a while. Let me tell you, Tori is still in fine form.

Buzz In: What Album First Spoke for You?
I was lucky enough to catch Liz Phair's live show here in San Francisco this week, one of a handful where she's performing Exile in Guyville in its entirety to promote the album's re-release this month. While the 1993 album originally dropped a tiny bit too early for a then-preteen me to catch on right away, this CD found me by the time I had gotten my first taste of romantic angst. I felt (in that slightly melodramatic, teenage way) as if she'd opened my diary and added some guitar.
Singer to Watch: Yoav
If you happened to catch Tori Amos on tour last Fall, you may have been treated to a musician named Yoav. Since taking his guitar on the road with Ms. Amos, he's been building up a nice little fan base for himself, but it wasn't until this week that those fans could buy his album.
Music Video: Tori Amos, "Leather" Redux
Listening to Tori Amos really takes me back to my high-school years, and I still have a major soft spot for the songstress. Though I don't play her CDs as much as I used to, I can't bring myself to get rid of them — particularly her lovely yet angsty 1992 volume Little Earthquakes.
So my nostalgic self was psyched to find this this video of Tori performing in the studio of Minnesota Public Radio's The Current.

Tori Amos to Try Musical Theater
Tori Amos is feeling a bit theatrical these days. On her new album, American Doll Posse, she assumes five different personas, each with a distinct look and personality. Now, according to NME, the singer is writing a stage musical, which she hopes to bring to Broadway and London's West End.
Song of the Day: Tori Amos, "Big Wheel"
If you were an angsty teen in the 1990s — as I was — chances are you spent a lot of time listening to Tori Amos. I haven't followed her career as closely lately, but I still like digging out her old albums now and again. Plus, I appreciate the fact that Amos (unlike, say, Liz Phair) has kept her ass-kicking indie integrity intact over the years.
