News: Here a Tori, There a Tori (January 19, 2008)

[Here a Tori, There a Tori is an occasional column rounding up small Tori mentions far and wide.]

In this edition:

• “Winter” in “Songs That Make Men Cry”
• “Cornflake Girl” a top workout song
• “Cornflake Girl” influences Kate Walsh
• Boys for Pele among must-hear albums
• Tori quit smoking?
• Gigwise trashes YKTR cover

“Winter” earned a mention in the UK MSN entertainment section’s article on Songs That Make Men Cry. Click on Tori’s photo to see the details.

The Chicago Tribune polled Chicago health clubs to ask what songs made good workout soundtracks, and someone listed “Cornflake Girl” as their #1. Funny, all that song makes me want to do is eat bowls of Raisin Bran…

The Guardian (UK) asked emerging musicians to name influential songs and Kate Walsh chose “Cornflake Girl.” Surf on over to see what she said.

Speaking of The Guardian, they listed Boys for Pele among their 1,000 Albums to Hear Before You Die. I think that’s one to-do item all of us can cross off, eh?

We’re not 100% sure this is accurate, but Tori was included in a slideshow of celebs who quit smoking put together by Dallas/Fort Worth’s NBC affiliate.

I guess Tori can’t be tops all the time. Gigwise listed Y Kant Tori Read at #42 on its 50 worst album covers. Their slideshow seems to work in random order, so be patient. The caption reads, “Good old Tori turned dominatrix for this album sleeve. Some people may find it sexy, we don’t – we’re scared she’s going to spank us to oblivion.” Wait, that’s a bad thing?

A thousand (1,000) thanks to Kevin, james, Jo, Vincent. Stephanie, Laura, and Saar for spotting these.
