Two More Solo Video Surface on Culture Jam

Culture Jam is offering videos of Tori performing four songs from Midwinter Graces — “Jeanette, Isabella,” “Star of Wonder,” “A Silent Night With You” and “Pink and Glitter” — as well as an electronic press kit about the album in exchange for a little social networking. By connecting your Facebook account to Tori’s facebook or letting them post a tweet to your Twitter account, you’ll be able to view these clips.

“A Silent Night With You” and “Pink and Glitter” have already surfaced on Yahoo and AOL Music and the EPK is cribbed from the video interview included in the deluxe edition of the album so the other two songs are the new additions.

Absolute Radio Christmas Zoo Session Recorded Today

Absolute Radio recorded their several of their Christmas Zoo Sessions today — including one by Tori — at the chapel at the House of St. Banabus in Soho. Per Rami, who got the news from Rachel, Tori played four songs: “A Silent Night With You,” “Star of Wonder,” “Pink and Glitter” and “Winter.” If anyone was lucky enough to attend, we’d love to hear about the performance — please leave a comment in the Tour section.

We’re not 100% sure when the session will be broadcast (or webcast, as the case may be) but Absolute Radio lists Tori as a guest on Geoff Lloyd’s Hometime Show for Monday, December 7th at 7:00 PM GMT so that seems the likely candidate!

Connecting Tori to the World

The latest newsletter from ToriAmos.com included one additional upcoming promotional appearance that we didn’t already know about: Tori will be the Connector of the Day on CNN’s Connect the World hosted by Becky Anderson on Wednesday, December 9th.

The program airs weekday afternoons on CNN International. Tori is slated to be on during the second half of the show, around 4:30 PM Eastern. Video of the appearance should be available on their website after the fact for those who don’t have access to the channel or miss it.

A Silent Night With Alan Titchmarsh

Tori appeared on The Alan Titchmarsh Show on ITV yesterday afternoon, performing “A Silent Night With You,” accompanied by a string quartet.

The entire program is available on the ITV Player for the next month, but that video stream is only available to those in the United Kingdom. For the rest of us, it’s YouTube to the rescue!

Thanks to Andrew, Eva, Melissae and Carina for the tip!

Mopping Up After the BBC

Despite the description on Janice Long’s Radio 2 website, Tori did not appear on the program on Thursday morning as advertised. However, towards the end of her show, Janice did say that she would be interviewing Tori later during the day and that their discussion would be broadcast over the next couple weeks.

On the other hand, Tori did pop in on Shaun Keaveny’s BBC 6 Music program this morning to talk about Midwinter Graces. You can stream the entire show for the next week if, like me, you didn’t know about it until after the fact. The interview starts around the 2 hour 15 minute mark of the three hour program and lasts about 15 minutes with “A Silent Night With You” played at the end of it.

Additionally, she made an appearance on Robert Elms’ BBC London show yesterday, December 3rd to talk up the record. In addition to chatting about the album, “Star of Wonder” and “A Silent Night With You.” As with the Keaveny interview, the show is archived for a week for those that missed it. The interview starts around two and a half hours into the program but you can jump right to it using the new “chapter” feature of the BBC iPlayer — Merry Christmas!

Thanks to Nina Miller and Alice for catching the BBC 6 Music and London appearances!

Live On Facebook From Electric Lady Studios

On Friday, December 11th at 3:00 PM EST, Tori will perform live and chat with fans over the web from New York City’s Electric Lady Studios. The webcast will be viewable at Tori’s Facebook and Livestream.

The Sound also has an exclusive video interview with Tori where she discusses Abnormally Attracted to Sin and The Light Princess at the bottom of her My Turn page which is a good view as well.

Note: there is no archived stream of the program on The Sound’s website; just the track listing.

Undercover Video Interview

Not to be outdone by the other Australian music journalism sites, Undercover also chatted with Tori during her recent swing through the land down under. Their interview, posted in two parts, also covers a wide range of topics including the two albums released in 2009, performing live and the duet with David Byrne for Here Lies Love. Check it out on Undercover: Part 1 and Part 2.
