POPULARITY
Known for her dramatic intensity and often-dark, broodingly romantic compositions, Tori Amos has perhaps unfairly gotten a reputation for being very, very serious. To be fair, sometimes she is (and we love it!). However, contrary to popular belief, when you take a closer look, Tori also has an extremely funny side. Her particular tongue-in-cheek brand of wit often translates directly into key songs that provide moments of oppositional levity and sweet relief amidst some of her most emotionally-searing sonic landscapes. Tori Amos' “Silly Songs” have always been a part of the fabric of her musical worlds and are well-documented, but they were officially named in 1996 with the release of several b-sides that directly contradicted the more bleak album tracks from the legendary Boys For Pele. Songs like “Graveyard”, “Toodles Mr. Jim”, and “That's What I Like Mick (The Sandwich Song”) gave listeners a warm, welcomed glimpse of Tori's slightly left of center sense of humor, while still fully highlighting her musical chops. Whether she's almost running over an angel, smacking down George Bush Jr with a sassy “who's your daddy?” or chatting up God to confess her foodie sins, it is important to remember Tori is not afraid to be a ‘lil silly (as beautifully evidenced in her most recent release: the whimsical new music for her New York Time best-selling children's book Tori and the Muses). So keep your hoochie, program your sodas and join Kristen, Matt and Joey in the Faerie Workshop to explore the magical, playful world of Tori Amos' Silly Songs, where laughter and joy are an inevitability, and where a wide variety of artisanal baked goods are essential to the narrative.MM playlistKK playlist JV playlist
Una ruptura sentimental y un afán por volver a controlar su carrera inspiraron el tercer disco de la norteamericana.
In terms of narrative, composition and sheer scope as a record, Boys for Pele is one of the most audacious “pop” records to come out of the 1990s. Make no mistake: despite its twisty narrative, mysteriously confrontational lyrics and non-traditional take on song structure, Pele was a considerable mainstream success, selling more than 2 million copies worldwide and going platinum in the United States. Part harrowing journey into darkness and fury, part coming to terms with the aftermath of a shattered psyche, Boys for Pele might actually be the anti-pop record. Ironically, Tori's biggest-selling single off the record (her biggest-selling single of all time), was a club mix of the Southern Gothic tale of madness and revenge “Professional Widow” that focuses on the lyric “it's gotta be big.” Those who entered into this disorienting, often sinister world expecting a four on the floor rave were instead greeted by a smoky, deeply-complex rumination on one woman's singular version of The Blues. The album finds Tori in a fugue descending into a hallucinatory abyss of anger, despair and confusion; the cathartic kind that evokes the wrenching neurotic pain of a genteel Blanche Dubois cracking in A Streetcar Named Desire. Its roots are distinctly rooted in the deeply soulful, deeply-odd South that might have been written about by Flannery O'Connor or filmed by D.W. Griffith, which is reflected in the choices made for the album's artwork: Tori appears as the guardian of ghostly, forgotten children much like Lillian Gish does in the 1955 film The Night of the Hunter. All of these works are both branded with the red-hot iron of righteous Christianity and haunted by the foul-smelling sulfuric specter of the Devil himself. It is that unholy and unsettling bilocation and brilliant intertextuality that marks a true literary work of genius, artistic masterpiece, or any consummate objet d'art, all of which are applicable lenses through which to view an intimate, intricate, and positively harrowing work such as Boys for Pele. Categorization is futile, but the ways in which Pele can be read are staggering. Playlists: KK MM JV

Coming up as a teenager playing piano in Washington, D.C. gay bars, Tori Amos has always had a special connection to the LGBTQ community - particularly gay men. For this week's guests, 'Drive All Night - The Songs Of Tori Amos Podcast' co-host Efrain Schunior and Tori super-fan Kenny Franklin, that connection was only deepened with the release of her 1996 tour de force 'Boys For Pele'. Recorded primarily in a church in rural Ireland, the album combines her typically virtuoso piano playing with more experimental instrumentation and sometimes stark, sometimes expansive songs about casting emotional demons aside and reclaiming one's fire. Songs featured in this episode: Mr Zebra, Professional Widow (Armand's Star Trunk Funkin' Mix), Strange Little Girl, Cornflake Girl - Tori Amos; Sonata for Harpsichord Four Hands in C major - Mozart; Beauty Queen/Horses, Blood Roses, Father Lucifer, Professional Widow - Tori Amos; Violet - Hole; Marianne, Caught a Lite Sneeze, Caught a Lite Sneeze (Live sessions at West 54th 1998), Muhammed My Friend, Muhammed My Friend (Live feat. Maynard Keenan), Hey Jupiter - Tori Amos; Wish You Were Gay - Billie Eilish; Little Amsterdam, Doughnut Song - Tori Amos; Damn I Wish I Was Your Lover - Sophie B Hawkins; Vibeology - Paula Abdul; The Springtime of His Voodoo, Putting the Damage On - Tori Amos; The Tourist - Radiohead; Time (Live on David Letterman, 2001) - Tori Amos
Forfatter Leonora Christina Skov står ved en skillevej i sit forfatterskab. Hun har taget albummet ”Boys For Pele” af Tori Amos med i studiet og sammen med Radio4 vært Anders Bøtter, giver hun dig et indblik i de voldsomme teenage-oplevelser, der farvede hendes opdagelse af Tori Amos’ tredje album: Leonora er lige flyttet hjemmefra og skal stå på helt egne ben, da hendes bedste veninde dør af et hjertestop i en alder af 19 år. Hendes egen familie sammenligner homoseksualitet med pædofili og hendes mor truer med at begå selvmord, hvis Leonora springer ud som homoseksuel. Hvor går man hen, når man ikke har nogen at snakke med om alle de voldsomme begivenheder? Ja, Leonora gik ind i musikkens verden og fandt både styrke og forståelse i Tori Amos’ sange.

”Hun virker som en outsider. Og man jo bliver draget af det, man selv føler, man er, men mangler en legitimation af.” Tori Amos’ nummer ”Caught a Lite Sneeze” viste Azadeh Ghavamrad, at man som kunstner kan udtrykke sig på langt flere måder end de gængse. Det udvidede hendes forståelse af, hvad det vil sige ikke kun at være kvindelig musiker, men kvinde i det hele taget. Det lader Azadeh sig inspirere af, når hun laver danseperformances og skriver musik. Varighed: 7:20

The boys return with their biggest episode to date. In Chapter One of the sonic novel Boys For Pele, Efrain and Danny find themselves traveling to the underworld in order to reclaim their womanhood. Full of rare sound bites, live performances and interesting facts, this episode includes a lesson on the Leslie Cabinet as well as an excerpt of Tori reading Stardust from the new BBC radio production of the Neil Gaiman classic. Included with Horses is a complete analysis of Beauty Queen as well as Fire-Eater's Wife, and also a return visit from our Neil Correspondent Lauren Eschwie. Finally, a revealing interview with Musician and Producer Gavin Bradley, famous to the Tori world for his 1996 underground remix of Horses. Gavin shares all the behind-the-scenes gossip on the remix album that was abandoned by Atlantic, plus details about how his own remix came to be.
