...And Toriphiles Everywhere Rejoiced
Now that Here. In My Head is switching servers and The Dent is defunct, it's been a little hard to keep up on the latest Tori news and gossip. (And nothing is more distressing/irritating/annoying than trying to find a reliable news source on the internet.) But, thanks to Undented, this is no longer going to be a problem. They're picking up where MikeWhy @ The Dent left off. And thank God for it, because they were up and running just in time to report on Tori's big announcement about her newest CD release! So, for those of you who haven't heard or don't have all the juicy details:
News: Get Ready For The Rarities Box SetPosted by Violet on Monday, June 26, 2006 | Releases Following up on the previous item we posted about an upcoming rarities box set, Undented has received a copy of the press release containing details of the set. A PIANO: THE COLLECTION, will be a five-disc, career-spanning box set consisting of classics, rarities, demos, B-sides and unreleased tracks. And yes, indeed, very exciting news for Toriphiles... Tori will finally introduce us to five very special songs: "Not David Bowie," "Zero Point," "Peeping Tommi," "Ode To My Clothes" and "Dolphin Song." Presented in deluxe packaging that resembles a piano's keyboard, this set will be released by Rhino Records on September 26, 2006, and will be available at regular retail outlets and at the Rhino Records website for a suggested price of $74.98. Produced by Tori, the career-spanning collection highlights selections from her studio albums as well as b-sides and songs that debuted on Tales of a Librarian. Featuring numerous unreleased songs, the box set contains a total of 86 tracks that combine well-known studio versions with rare alternative mixes, including several songs Tori remixed for this project.
