Talk:Boys for Pele

message: This is not a Tori Amos song per se, she merely contributes the vocals. I will leave mention of this song in the Boys for Pele article, but will delete it from the B-Sides chart.--Pisceandreams 20:25, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I also removed the chart performance for "Blue Skies". --Pisceandreams 21:43, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Blue Skies

message: This article, much like all of the articles devoted to Tori Amos' albums, is in great need of re-working. Since this is my favorite album, I decided to start with this one. (And also because there is so much information to share about the inspiration, creation, and reaction to this album.) If anyone has anything noteworthy to add, please do so. Also, if anyone has any suggestions as to the breakdown of the article, share your thoughts. Thanks. :) --Pisceandreams 14:25, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: ''Boys for Pele'' Overhaul

message: I've removed the following from the main BFP article. If anyone can provide a source for this, it can be replaced.
One song, "Marianne," details Amos' relationship with Marianne Curtis, a high school student from Montgomery County, Maryland, who died under questionable circumstances in the late 1970s. The death, which was actually due to an accidental drug overdose, was first suspected to be murder, and then later called a suicide.

replies: text: Nice work on the article. :) Partial sourcing for the above here, if you choose to incorporate it somewhere. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 14:20, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for the compliment, and for the source. =) --Pisceandreams (talk) 00:10, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Removed 'Marianne' info

message: There is no evidence that this song was recorded during the "Boys For Pele" sessions and every evidence that is is in fact just a live improv song. Amos performed the song one time only, at a live radio show. She has never made mention of it since in the press (unlike other unreleased songs like "To the Fair Motormaids of Japan", which she has definitively stated was an unreleased song from this era.) There is some evidence to support that it was NOT recorded during the "Boys For Pele" sessions (if it was ever recorded at all); Amos revealed to a fan at a Meet & Greet that the character "Mr. P", references in the song lyrics, refers to "Mr. Puppethead," a character Amos made popular on Amos' tour AFTER the release of "Pele".

replies: text: Thanks for the info. Someone added this song a few months back and after unsuccessful research attempts, I couldn't find much info on it. If what you stated is true, then I agree that this shouldn't appear here. --Pisceandreams (talk) 14:57, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

message: It seems to me that the author of the article meant to imply that the "box in which Tori and her Instruments were enclosed" and "the leslie cabinet" are the same thing, which is plain bullshit.
I'm pretty sure he misenterpreted something he's read, basically I'm quite sure things worked preetty mushc like this: a vocal booth in the church was created out of some plexiglass, with holes for 'slipping in' the piano and harpsichord keyboard, which were thus acoustically isolated from the vocal booth.
The Leslie speaker was fed signal from the piano mikes and recorded separately, in another room - I read somewhere that it was recorded in the graveyard chapel.

replies: text: Yes, absolutely.  Unfortunately I'm not the one to do it, but if you could it would be a service as I felt it was one of the things that hacked off some male reviewers like Robert Christgau. Dr Birnam (talk) 21:10, 13 March 2022 (UTC)

message: I've loved Tori Amos since the early 90s, but owned only the first three albums.  Never knew about the B-sides and all the lore around this album but - please - why no commentary on her covering CHAS & DAVE songs!  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dr Birnam (talk • contribs) 21:16, 13 March 2022 (UTC)
