Q: What is Y Kant Tori Read?
 
A: Before making Little Earthquakes, Tori was in an LA-based rock
band called Y Kant Tori Read. They produced a self-titled album in
1988 which was a critical and commercial failure. Opinions on this
album are divided: some of people consider it to be just a mediocre
radio-orientated rock album, while others think that there is still
some very good music there, though it is partly obscured by the heavy
rock production. Tori herself dislikes this album, partly because it
holds bad memories for her, and has described it as like "Madonna and
Kate Bush in a head-on collision after eating bad mushrooms".
 
Q: How can I get Y Kant Tori Read?
 
A: Interest in this album has been revitalized since Little Earthquakes.
Since it's been deleted for some time now, and very unlikely to be
re-released, it is now very difficult to come by. Jason Bilsky

for rdt subscribers. You can send him a C60 tape, with a postage paid
