gaffa LJ community has been busy...
First, there is a lot of discussion about comparing Kate Bush and Tori Amos...which at first I though was just interesting, but then there was a like to this site called Kate vs Tori:

You will see a number of similarities between the two....here are a good quote from the beginning of the page:
Published in 'Q' Magazine issue 140 May 1998. "I'll never forget the first time I heard about Kate," Amos recalls. "I was playing in a club, I was 18 or 19 and somebody came up to me, pointed their finger and said, Kate Bush. I went, Who's that? I wasn't really familiar because Kate didn't really happen in the States until Hounds Of Love. I was shocked because the last thing you want to hear is that you sound like someone else. Then people kept mentioning her name when they heard me sing, to the point where I finally went and got her records. When I first heard her, I went, Wow, she does things that I've never heard anybody do, much less me. But I could hear a resonance in the voice where you'd think we were distantly related or something." So you were never influenced directly by her? "Well... I must tell you that when I heard her, I was blown away by her. There's no question." Did you sing along with the records? "Absolutely. But I knew that I had to be careful, so I didn't voraciously learn her catalogue. I left the records with my boyfriend at the time, because I didn't want to copy her." - Tori Amos
So, this led me to a great Tori Amos site at: http://thedent.com/ which included information on the new Tori Amos DVD, Album, and Book! And that lead to a link about the redesigned Tori Amos website: http://toriamos.com
Another link has led me to the website of Cory Byrnes at: : http://www.coreybyrnes.com/
He is a musician that does some great covers, including "In Your Eyes" by Peter Gabriel, and "Precious Things" by Tori Amos. You can listen to a concert of his at the Archive.org live music website....direct link here: http://www.archive.org/audio/etree-details-db.php?id=18124
Yet another link led me to here: http://www.ministryofsound.com/music/albums/MinistryofSound-ClubClassics2004
This album has a bunch of interesting stuff on it, including a remix of Tori's "Professional Widow" (Armand Van Helden's Star Funkin Remix) and a bunch of other classics & remixes.
So some interesting music and concepts for my kind readers to explore...enjoy! I did!
