A funny thing happened to me in the car

[Matt Humphrey <stock@capital.net>]

I was listening to alterna-radio in the car the other day, and I heard 
a sort of repetitive strumming noise that reminded me of The Red 
Shoes.  Then a bass broke in, and a piano, so I turned it up, thinking 
it was very Kate-esque and wondering if it were a new Fiona Apple tune 
or something.

Turns out it was Tori; Cornflake Girl.  I frankly haven't listened to 
much Tori, don't own any of her albums, and have largely stayed out of 
the Kate/Tori debate.  But based on what I've heard, including my 
experience on the radio, I have to say that Tori is definitely in 
Kate's mold.  Tori is obviously talented, and has her own quirks and 
strengths, but she is definitely working in the shadow of Kate.

Just my opinion.
