first wood and then water, I think I must be tuning into the elements of the Earth. Entitled 'what if I'm a mermaid' which is a line from a Tori Amos song which has been worming through my head for two days now.

Pink reader Fanny gave me the head’s up that one of my favorite authors, Neil Gaiman, has embarked on a 9-city book tour where he is reading one full chapter of his new kids book The Graveyard Book in each city. Each in-person reading is being videoed for posting online so that everyone can [...]

Let's face it, Sub Pop Records has the Midas Touch. OK, maybe that's getting a little carried away...is it fair to say that almost every artist they chose to sign and every record they chose to release is golden? Fair enough?! When I got the news that the label announced that their final release of [...]

I’ve been given the contact details for a neurologist specialising in the study of Mal de Debarquement Syndrome (MdDS), based at the York Balance Centre.

So, as happens sometimes, I wandered down the YouTube rabbit hole tonight, this time browsing various Tori Amos live performances and covers. I may not be the total freak for her like I used to be, but it's still incredibly easy to fall back into her music, you know? It's so sensory and lush and bizarre. Which leads me to the following clip, obviously from a Blender interview not too long ago.
