1. happy 20th birthday to Little Earthquakes

  2. My video tribute to Tori Fori Amos: Pooping on Her Manolo Blahniks, Figuratively.

  3. The musical instrument most like a typewriter is the piano, both mechanically and emotionally. I love (or at least like) every Tori Amos album, but this is the one I most often play when I’m working. ‘China’ seems a bit histrionic now, but that song blew my mind once. ‘Happy Phantoms’ did, too. To be honest, they still blow my mind now, if I try hard enough. I also really like the Crucify EP. Her cover of ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’ is pretty dumb, but ‘Winter’ is an extremely moving song. It makes me want to pet a cat.
