Memories of Tori & Zooey…
August 6, 2008
Recently on Myspace, there was a featured video for Tori Amos’ latest project, Comic Book Tattoo. An interesting interview where Tori discusses her experience in the music industry, her long-time creative friendship with Neil Gaiman (of the Sandman comic series) and the overall collaboration of artists. Those who know me know that I used to be an avid Tori fan back in the day, but like a long distance old friend, I lost touch with her music somewhere around The BeeKeeper album… A creative new endeavor from a brilliant and eclectic artist such as Tori Amos proves not only topical (i.e. the comic uprising in Hollywood covered in the latest Dark Knight review), but inspirational as well! 
As I have not been able to post myspace.tv videos here directly (a shame, really), below is the link:
Please visit Organized Confusion on Myspace as well!
While searching for this interview on YouTube, I came across another video created by a fan. It’s a mash-up of Tori’s Take me with you and the Sci-fi Channel miniseries, Tin Man. It is aptly titled…
Take me with You, Tinman
Tin Man, a modern retelling of the Wizard of Oz starring Zooey Dechanel as DG and Alan Cumming as Glitch (aka Scarecrow), looks fantastic! Zooey always brings back memories for me, as she and I attended the infamous French Woods Festival, a performing arts camp in upstate New York, around the same time (late 1990’s). Remembering a particularly pitchy rendition of “You do something to me” by Cole Porter… (Owww, my foot hurts from name-dropping! 
She still looks great and I am happy for all her success!
Back to Tin Man (IMDB): How long has this miniseries been on? What’s the deal with it? Will it grow to a full blown TV show? Will it become a movie? Don’t know, but it looks great from what I can tell by this video… I wonder if it’s on DVD (*cough* torrent) yet. Since moving, I have been without cable channels higher than Channel 21 (at my cost-concious housemates request), so I have not been privy to channel flipping discoveries as much. Will definitely be looking into it!
