TORI AMOS 
Cornflake Girl (east west)

Staying on the breakfast theme (N.B The review listed before this one was
a review for Straeetband's single calles 'Toast' - Streetband contained a
certain Mr Paul Young.) "Cornflake Girl" is a seductively mordant piano
and guitar dual that resolves itself only when everything stops and Tori
does that really scary Kate Bush-like squeal on the chorus. Don't know what
the devil she means about this "cornflake girl" that's "hanging around with
the rasins", but then anyome who recognisis the rich metaphorical possibilites
that lie inherent in the language of food is just dandy by me. The Chopin-esque
classical noodlings on the flipside aren't as poncy as you might think either.

Going back to the tour dates I'm seriously considering going to the London
gig, if there are any fellow Gaffans out there in the Oxford/London area
that are thinking of going then please get in touch with me as there is
nothing more boring than going to a gig by yourself. Incidentally I've only
been into Tori for the last couple of months (mainly through seeing various
references to her in Love-Hounds) and I think Little Earthquakes definitely
compares with KaTe's stuff.
