News: AOL Music: Tori Amos First Listen

AOL Music is offering up the complete “Big Wheel” plus clips of “Bouncing Off Clouds” and “Teenage Hustling” for your listening pleasure.

Tori herself comments a bit on each track:

• “Big Wheel”: “‘Big.’ One of my favorite words, along with ‘Little.’ Now if I’m a guy, I’m probably going to prefer the word ‘Big’ when associated with my abilities, rather than my other favorite word. As a woman, I don’t mind at all if the whole world thinks that I have a Big Aspiration to straddle that piano stool every night for over 100 shows by Christmas. I don’t mind that at all.”

• “Bouncing Off Clouds”: “Over half of relationships that end in a verbal war could at least be on speaking terms again if at least one of the combatants realized what verbal artillery to use and what verbal artillery not to use — if you ever expect to have a drink with this person again, much less anything else. This is sung by Clyde.”

• “Teenage Hustling”: “I highly recommend singing this at the top of your lungs, preferably in rubber tights. For those gals who don’t move so well in very high heels, the advantage of rubber is obvious if you take a tumble — stains are unobservable to the naked eye and if you do fall, you may be lucky enough to bounce. This is sung by Pip.”
