The Metropole Concert Broadcast - At Last!

The Metropole Orkest has posted a schedule of their upcoming radio and television appearances and right at the top of the list is their concert with Tori from back in October!

According to them, the concert will be broadcast on Monday, December 20th at 11:00 PM on Radio 6 — which would place it right during the Radio 6 Live program. So, even though the broadcast does not appear to be mentioned anywhere on the website, that seems to fit together nicely…

You can listen to Radio 6 online or, if you’re in the Netherlands, there are a variety of other listening options available as well.

Check here to see what time 11:00 PM in the Netherlands is in your local time zone.

From Myspace With Love

The latest Tori Amos newsletter brings the news that another track from From Russia With Love, “Silent All These Years,” is now available for preview — this time via the audio player on Myspace.

Additionally, “Yes, Anastasia” can be freely downloaded on Facebook for an e-mail address and a song…so if you are not a Facebook user and were unable to get the song via sharing, you should be able to get it now.

Also, while we’re on the topic, a few people have asked whether or not From Russia With Love would see a release separate from the TORI camera package. six58 checked with the Tori Store and their response was inconclusive, stating that while the possibility had been discussed and would probably be more likely if the camera sold out, that there were no definite plans to do so at this time.

Finally, folks who ordered the camera are starting to receive them so if you did, keep an eye on your mailbox!

Map The Music Is Available Again!

Map The Music, a film produced by Toriphile Samantha Hale that documents the power of music and live performance through the voices of fans, is now is its second pressing! The first run sold out so a second has been produced and is again available from Insound.

The trailer, which was featured on YouTube yesterday, gives a taste of what the film has to offer: insight and interviews with fans and concert-goers plus behind the scenes moments, interviews and performances from Imogen Heap, Cary Brothers, Zoe Keating, Rachael Yamagata, Jim Bianco, Kate Havnevik, Charlotte Martin and many others—including Tori!

A Little Toriness On Carson Daly Tonight

Just peeping a quick heads-up that our favorite pro-wrestling Toriphile, Mick Foley, will be on Carson Daly tonight (technically in the wee hours of Saturday morning), and the segment is largely focussed on Tori. Yay!

Tori Bites The Bullitts

Producer Jeymes Samuel (The Gorillaz, KT Tunstall) has a new musical project called the Bullitts and he’s enlisted a slew of exciting artists for the Bullitt’s next album, They Die By Dawn And Other Short Stories. Tori will join Samuel on the release, along with Roisin Murphy, Passion Pit, Mos Def, and actress Lucy Liu. Both NME and Wears the Trousers have confirmed the collaboration, though the articles are short on details about Tori’s contribution just yet. In the meantime, you can check out other tracks from The Bullitts — including the Lucy Liu single, “Close Your Eyes,” over on vimeo. Thanks to Marco and Lucie for sending this in!

Tash Captured In Ben Folds Photo

Some of you may remember waaaaaay back in 2003 when Tori toured with Ben Folds on the Lottapianos tour. Well, Ben snapped this cute photo of Tash, likely on that tour. Tomorrow in Washington, D.C., he’ll discuss this photo and others in a talk with photographer Mark Seliger sponsored by National Geographic Live. It’s part of a series of talks called “Music On… Photography,” featuring different musicians who also do some great work behind the lens.

New Book Focuses On Tori's Studio Process

Jake Brown, the author of a series of books called “In the Studio,” has written a book focusing on Tori Amos. Each book visits a different musician (Rick Rubin, Motorhead, and Kanye West have all been featured) in the studio, and describes the recording process. Brown’s style is pretty readable, despite the technical details he packs into these books. Tori Amos: In the Studio is available for pre-order now, and is scheduled for release May 1, 2011. Thanks to MiMi for the tip.
