The Corriere della Sera interview (October 11, 2011)

During her visit to Italy, Tori visited the news agency Corriere della Sera to talk about her new album, her career, the impact of Kurt Cobain’s death, and much more. The questions are in Italian, but Tori responds in English (with subtitles!). There’s also some nice live footage of her performing “Suede” with the Apollon Musagete Quartett. Check it out:

Thanks, Maria, Misha, and lilfaerie!

The Wall Street Journal Interview (October 6, 2011)

Tori sat down with the Wall Street Journal’s Jim Fusilli in a conversation on Night of Hunters, The Light Princess, and much more. Several of you wrote in with the link last week, but I held off posting it because I actually couldn’t get it to work on any of the browsers I use. If you’re in the same boat, you’re in luck, because now it’s on YouTube as well:

Cheers to Mau, Matt, Lauren, and Maria!

Tori on Soundcheck

Soundcheck will welcome Tori back to the WNYC airwaves on Monday, October 3rd to discuss Night of Hunters and perform live. Obviously, this appearance was pre-taped as she’s out on tour now so that has allowed them to kindly post a video from the in-studio to whet the appetite. Check out this rendition of “Nautical Twilight” below…

Soundcheck airs at 2:00 PM Eastern with a rebroadcast at 10:00 PM Eastern on WNYC, 93.9 FM in the New York City area, and streaming live on wnyc.org. They also archive and podcast the show so no worries if you miss it. The show is also carried on WDET in Detroit and on Sirius XM Public Radio (channel 121 on XM).

Update: Stream the appearance at wnyc.org:

If She Was The Better Girl...

The daytime television program Better had Tori in as a guest last week and the appearance aired today, September 29th. Co-host JD Roberto chatted with Tori about how the new album Night of Hunters came to be and the themes that it deals with, followed by a lovely performance of “Edge of the Moon.”

You can watch the video clip on Better’s website — they don’t allow for embedding but one assumes it’s just a matter of time before it shows up on YouTube…

Tori Sits Down With Rolling Stone

Rolling Stone welcomed Tori to their studios for a chat and they’ve posted a video, just shy of 4 minutes long, of her visit. In the clip, which is different from the interview the German Rollling Stone shared a couple weeks ago, Tori talks about the link between Night of Hunters and the Light Princess musical she’s been working on as well as the variability of her set lists from city to city and night to night.

Check it out behind the fold — the video auto-plays and that’s just plain annoying!
