Keep an eye on our Twitter and Facebook pages since we often post quickie updates there when we're on-the-go.
During tours, we do our best to cover setlists in real-time on Twitter. If you want to tweet a show in, just DM or @ us on the day and tell us to watch your stream that night.

The Chicago Tribune yesterday offered its review of American Doll Posse (registration required). Read on to see what critic Greg Kot had to say.
Rufus Wainwright, who opened for Tori on her 2001 Strange Little Girls tour, recently told the Advocate that being in Tori’s presence during that time helped him recover from a sexual assault he suffered in London. Follow the links, above or below, to see what he said. Thanks to Emmanuel and Tony for this one.
“My six-year-old is into Blondie, which I’m happy about,” says Amos. “If she’s going to mimic anybody, I’m glad it’s Debbie Harry.”
Rolling Stone recently convinced Tori to name five songs she loves. Here’s the result. Karen, thanks for sending this in!
This seems to be the year for crazy-ass time-travel Tori reporting.
On May 8th, Matt Ashare of The Phoenix reported (among other silliness):
Since early April, YouTube.com has had a hilarious video of Alanis Morissette covering the Black Eyed Peas’ Fergie showcase “My Humps” in her sincere, woman-on-the-verge-of-a-nervous-breakdown fashion, with little more than her own simple piano accompaniment. Yes, it’s a spoof. And if it’s possible for a low-budget video to redeem an artist in the eyes of those who’ve grown tired of having to swallow Bitter Little Pill not once but twice, this is it. Electrofunk porn-rocker (and fellow Canadian) Peaches has already weighed in with an even lower-budget spoof. And as Morissette teams up with self-proclaimed MILF Tori Amos on a shared Web site (alanisandtori.mp3.com) to help promote their 26-city “5-1/2 Weeks Tour” (August 18–September 25, with a Tweeter Center date on August 31), we can hope for more. One thing’s certain: as word spreads about Alanis’s humps, she’ll be getting a lot of requests for the tune this summer.
Of course Alanis’s album was titled JAGGED Little Pill, but more importantly, the 5-1/2 Weeks Tour took place in 1999. Nothing like being on the cutting edge of lateness, eh?
One day soon, we hope to hear Tori’s getting married.
Thanks for the catch, Damien.
Tori will be playing live on the Jonathan Ross show (BBC Radio 2) tomorrow, May 19th. The show runs for three hours beginning at 10am UK Time.
Greetings from Lake Tahoe! I’m on vacation in the Sierras and my connection is crap, but this needs to get up and the other editors are unavailable at the moment. I haven’t been able to pull any of the videos up from here, so I’m going to keep this short and sweet with no fancy stuff.
Tori is featured on AOL’s Artist Spotlight today with 6 new videos.
If you can’t play those videos, try the full sessions video.
Thanks to Kelly Reeves, Jamee, Damien and Kory Beaton.
Update: Added the six video clips from AOL Music. The interview video clips and Inside Story article are still only available in the session itself.
The Rochester Democrat & Chronicle reports that Tori will be performing with Nickel Creek in Rochester in August:
The popular bluegrass-folk outfit Nickel Creek, on its “Farewell (For Now)” tour, and piano chanteuse Tori Amos join forces (they’ll even be onstage together some) for an 8 p.m. Aug. 16 show at the High Falls Festival Site.
Of course, to anyone paying even a little attention, that doesn’t make a whole lot of damn sense. Fortunately, a quick check of Ticketmaster reveals that that is just a bad case of the reporting blues. The piano chanteuse in question is actually Fiona Apple. Hmmm, maybe all those female piano-playing singer-songwriters really are interchangeable!
Frank, who previously provided us all with video from Tori’s appearance on the Graham Norton show has reworked the entire, uncut version of the full program and posted it on Veoh. Stream or download the entire thing … or just view it below. Thanks Frank!
Tori is the featured artist in the latest issue (Digital i07) of Synthesis Radio’s magazine. The piece is available as a free PDF download (warning! 22 megabytes!). Additionally, Synthesis has an audio interview by Synthesis editor James Barone, conducted back in April. Stream on the site or download the mp3!
Thanks to Toni for the link!
(And if anyone would care to provide plaintext of the article or transcribe the interview, that would be most excellent!)
I give so many interviews and sometimes somebody will say “Thank you for enlightening us,” and I just shrink seventeen feet under the ground because that’s not how I see it. I see that we’re trying to have a conversation and maybe we get people talking or maybe we are just paper for the dog to poop on.
The latest newsletter from ARTISTdirect pointed Jason to Adam McKibbin’s interview which generated the preceding comment from Tori that characterizes this interv—er, conversation rather well. Read on for the full piece.
