American Songwriter Interview (July 2007)
My point to you is, as a songwriter, greatness is not measured by how many eaters of fast food there are, there’s more fast food eaters and beer drinkers than there are of good wine. So you have to know, am I making good wine, or am I making Pabst for the planet?
Sean Curran also let us know about this interview in the July 2007 issue of American Songwriter magazine. The full interview is available to those who register on the site.
SPIN's Transformers: Tori In Disguise (July 2007)
Jamee and Sean Curran report that the July issue of SPIN includes a brief Tori mention in a section titled “Transformers”, which describes musical artists who have drastically changed their image and sound. Tori’s transformation from “rock glam” to “earth-toned alt goddess” is the first listed and they, perhaps somewhat harshly, describe YKTR as such:
Big hair, ruby lipstick, cleavage, and a sword: the vixen pictured on the cover of the self-titled 1988 album by Y Kant Tori Read might have stepped out of a Whitesnake video. Inside, she thanks her label boss for “letting me make the record I wanted to make.”- namely, a collection of glib ’80s crud.
Of course, what comes around, goes around as the distance between Y Kant Tori Read and American Doll Posse is a lot shorter than 19 years.
Other artists included in the piece, which is not yet on SPIN’s website, are Marc Bolan, Dr. Dre, Vanilla Ice and Al Jourgensen.
Pubs And Clubs Overview (June 28, 2007)
Presumably in light of the new about her September tour of Australia, Pubs And Clubs magazine has posted a Tori-in-a-nutshell sort of article on their site, which is a decent overview of Tori’s career for the uninitiated. While the average Undented reader probably won’t learn anything from this piece, the average scenester might!
Tori In Revu (June 29, 2007)
While in Amsterdam last month, Tori did an interview with the Dutch magazine Revu which, as MarianneRose pointed out to us, has now been posted on their website. Tori discusses the album’s origin, the dolls’ evolution as the tour progresses and “Honey”. You can watch it on Revu’s website or, unsurprisingly, it has surfaced on YouTube:

David Atlanta Magazine Interview (June 6, 2007)
I’m not very popular with some of these corporate guys.
Belatedly, here’s a short (but sweet) interview Tori did with Joey Hood for David Atlanta Magazine in which she discusses being a female producer, Tash, and fashion. Thanks to rr for sending this in.

YLE Interview
Norna transcribed the YLE interview (broadcast in Finland by YLE and streaming on the web for Finnish viewers) and posted it to @forumz. Thanks for doing so!
Tori Featured in June 7 PerthNow Article
“I use my body as a canvas and my sculpture is the tone and the words and the music. I don’t see myself as trying to push Nicole Kidman out of the redhead acting position. I don’t dream about that.”
Australian newspaper The Sunday Times and PerthNow offered a new ADP article late last week. Click the link or click below to see the whole thing.
Venus Interview (Summer 2007)
The Summer 2007 issue (#32) of Venus (with Björk on the cover) features an interview with Tori. The interview is not online but you can purchase individual copies of the issue from their website. We don’t have a transcript of the interview but we received scans of the article from Karina — check ‘em out beyond the jump!
Update: And a transcript thanks to Parker from The Toriphorums!
Pop Quiz! Personal Posse Politics!
Ultimately, it’s about listening to the music. Just listen to the record and rock and get some mojo and go shag your wife. Or just shag yourself.
This short and somewhat strange interview appeared in the May 27th edition of the San Francisco Chronicle.
Praise The Lord And Pass The Bow-tox!
Amanda was the first to let us know that Tori’s sparkly, low-cut, bow-bedecked dress earned the ire of Star magazine, declaring it a Major Fashion Violation! (whoop! whoop!) in their May 28th issue. Star tapped noted fashion authorities Goumba Johnny (“This look is bow-toxic.”) and Daphne Brogdon (“Gift-wrap couture.”) to critique Tori’s attire. Of course, as any good Tori fan knows, she has a track record to uphold so Undented sez, “Move along! Nothing to see here!”
Thanks, also, to Aaron and Becky for this one!
