Fantasy Set-list

I know, I know. The odds of Tori coming to Singapore are like, zilch. But I love making up lists simply because I do. The amazing thing about Tori is that no one concert set-list is the same. Because she has more than 200 songs to choose from, there are hundreds and thousands of possible combinations she could come up with on any given night.

So here is my very own fantasy Tori set-list:

Big Wheel
Spark
Girl Disappearing
Code Red
Not the Red Baron
Silent All These Years
Caught a Lite Sneeze

Thank You
Real Men

Raspberry Swirl
The Doughnut Song
Programmable Soda
Beauty of Speed
Virginia
Dragon
Dark Side of the Sun

Encore:
Professional Widow
Blood Roses
Hey Jupiter

The reason why 8 American Doll Posse songs are on this list is because whenever I make any of these lists, I do tend to include more of the album that I'm listening to the most. Tori's first 4 albums are represented here + one track each from Strange Little Girls and Scarlett's Walk. Truth be told, there aren't that many songs from The Beekeeper that I would want in any setlist. I can only think of Baron of Suburbia, Mary and Toast that I wouldn't mind hearing in concert and even then, I'm not exactly wanting those songs in the setlist. The funny thing is that when I composed my fantasy setlist way back in 2005, it only contained 4 or 5 TBK songs because I was listening to the album. There are 2 or 3 songs from ADP that have a good chance of staying permanently in my fantasy setlist.

Charlotte Martin - Stromata

Her influences include Tori Amos and Kate Bush, which are clearly reflected in this song. Definitely one worth looking out for in the future.

Christina's coming to Singapore!

OMG OMG OMG!

Christina Aguilera will perform one show in Singapore on June 30th. Tickets go on sale next Monday. The tickets are incredibly expensive but by gosh, it's finally happened! Wheeee!

Mandy Moore - Extraordinary

The video for her latest single. It's a cute video but the song's really worth talking about. Can't wait for her album!

Feist - 1 2 3 4

Youthful, fun and campy. Feist's voice is reminiscent of Cat Power but with a livelier, more optimistic tone rather than Cat's melancholic and wistful tone. Definitely worth checking out.

The Dresden Dolls - First Orgasm (Live)

It is a Thursday
I get up early
It is a challenge
I'm usually lazy

I make some coffee
I eat some rice chex
And then I sit down
To check my inbox

I only read a word or two
I stare across the street and see the churches and the blue

The first orgasm of the morning
Is cold and hard as hell
There won't be any second coming
As far as I can tell

I arch my back cause
I'm very close now
It's very cold here
By the window

There are some school kids
Yelling and running
I barely notice
That I am cumming

The first orgasm of the morning
Is like a fire drill
It's nice to have a little warning
But not enjoyable

I am too busy to have friends
A lover would just complicate my plans
So I will never look for love again
I'm taking matters into my own hands

I think I could last at least a week without someone to hold me
I think I could last at least a week without someone to hold me
Won't you hold me, won't you hold me

This is really disturbing....

Akon outdoes himself once again. I can't help but agree with blogger pam on this issue; this was really going too far. It's staggering how the girl is apologizing for her behaviour when what irritates me is that her parents allowed her to go to the club in the first place. The video itself is disturbing and in throughly bad taste.

Everyone - from Akon to the club to the family - is to blame for this. It's far too convenient to let the girl take almost all of the responsibility.
