Crikey.  I walk away from rec.music.gaffa for a couple of years and...
people... get... creative.  :)

Woof.  Can we talk about this tape of yours?  I cry for the WEEN
experience, at least.

***Personal to Chris'N'Vickie:  Hi hi!!!  Have you got a phone yet?
Let me know via private email.

I'm a late arrival to the Tori thing, but I get the *distinct* impression
that a word-count analysis would reveal heavy KTB aping^H^H^H^H^H er, um,
"influence".  Despite this, "Happy Phantom" has indeed invaded my brain.

I'd love to hear, say, Tori's third or fourth album; or stuff that wasn't
so evidently derivative.  Her delivery reminds me (a bit annoyingly) of
Sarah McLachlan on Sarah's debut (only?) album.

Has TA been discussed to death here?  If so, apologies, and where's an
archive these days so I can get up to speed?
