Spinner Interview

During the frenzy of Midwinter Graces promo in December, Tori also swung by the offices of Spinner and chatted with Jessica Robertson about Midwinter Graces. The resulting two-part video interview was posted on Spinner on Christmas Even afternoon. In addition to the seasonal collection, Tori also addresses the rebirth of Lilith Fair (which Spinner reported on earlier last month), family and holiday memories and traditions.

TV Guide Video Interview

Literally minutes after we signed off for Christmas and New Year’s, Parker linked us to this interview from TV Guide where, between live clips of “Lady in Blue,” they chat with Tori about Midwinter Graces. Thanks to her for the tip!

TV Guide kindly placed the video on YouTube as well for easy-peasy embedification:

Happy Holidays From Undented!

Well, it’s getting to be that time of the year when we retreat to visit with family and friends for the holidays. Violet and I will both be out and about for the next week or so through New Year’s so site updates will be sporadic at best but before heading out into the snow, we both want to wish you all and yours a happy and joyful holiday season, regardless of which — one or ones — you may celebrate this time of year!

We’ll sign off for now with this lovely rendition of “Star of Wonder” performed by the PS22 Chorus.

All the best and see you in 2010!

Electric Lady Welcomes an Electric Lady

On Friday afternoon, Tori capped off a week of promoting the release of Midwinter Graces in New York City by performing live at Electric Lady Studios. The hour-long performance was webcast on Facebook via Livestream and was followed by a live chat with Spinner’s Jessica Robertson who asked Tori a few questions of her own and then posed several fan-submitted questions collected on Facebook.

The following songs were played during the concert portion of the show: Lady in Blue, Beauty of Speed, Leather, Snow Angel, Girl, Cooling, Cool on Your Island, Star of Wonder, Bells for Her, A Silent Night With You, Wednesday, Ophelia, and Pink and Glitter. Unfortunately, the performance has not been archived, though the possibility exists that some or all of the show will be made available later. However, some of the interview is currently available for streaming on Livestream:

Fortunately for those who missed the live webcast, some intrepid Toriphiles were able to record most of the songs and have shared them on YouTube. Thanks to marckarlock for getting nearly all of the webcast! Jump the cut to check it out!

Soundcheck, Soundcheck, 1, 2, 3...

Dressed, as she emphatically pointed out, as “a very friendly nutcracker,” Tori appeared on the WNYC radio program Soundcheck on Wednesday, December 9th to promote the release of Midwinter Graces. Due to high interest, the live broadcast was moved to The Greene Space, the station’s performance studio, allowing a small audience to attend the broadcast. For those not lucky enough to get tickets to the event, video of the broadcast was also streamed live on the web.

During the appearance, Tori spoke with host John Schaefer about the genesis and evolution of Midwinter Graces and she performed “Star of Wonder,” “A Silent Night With You” and “Pink and Glitter”.

If you missed the live broadcast, you can stream or download a mp3 of the appearance from WNYC. Unfortunately, the video stream does not appear to have been archived but WNYC has kindly put “Star of Wonder” up on YouTube:

If you were one of the lucky few who were able to attend the broadcast, we’d love to hear about it — please post a comment on this performance’s entry in the Tour section!
