miko2I have all sorts of wonderful plans for things to do on the weekend, and I usually do something else instead. So along with my list of cleaning up around the house and getting some writing accomplished and errands like washing the car... I've decided, on the spur of the moment, to assemble a Tori Amos CD from all of the extra songs I have on all of the extra CD singles that I own. And of course this means I should head out to Half Price Books and Silver Platters and see what other CD singles I can pick up that I don't have already.
Currently I have many more CD singles than actual Tori full-length cds. CD singles that I have: 1. Crucify 2. Winter 3. Taluala 4. God (US version) 5. God (dance remixes version) 5. Cornflake Girl 6. China 7. Caught A Light Sneeze 8. Silent All These Years v.1 9. Past The Mission 10. Pretty Good Year 11. BT Blue Skies Remixes. And there are probably a dozen more that I could buy if I wanted to... at least a few of which I do intend to buy.
All of these CD singles contain either A) Songs not found on any of her full-length cds, B) Dance remixes of her songs, or C) Covers of song such as Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit, Steely Dan's Do It Again, and Somewhere Over The Rainbow from the Wizard of Oz. I can assemble a nice "extra" Tori cd from all of the extras on these singles... I could probably assemble two or three cds of music to be honest. ^_^
I've done something like this once before... I really liked the two CDs that the Travelling Wilburys put out, and since they will never do any more (and since their two cds were labelled "volume 1" and "volume 3"), I took it upon myself to make another Travelling Wilburys cd, "volume 2", by picking songs from the solo work of the five members -- Roy Orbison, George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, and Jeff Lynne. And this was made easier by the fact that, around the time they were collaborating on the Travelling Wilburys cds, these guys were also collaborating on each other's solo cds... so you can find a lot of songs that sound like Wilbury tunes because they almost are. ^_^ This is most true of two of Tom Petty's best solo cds from that time period, and from George Harrison's cd and Jeff Lynne's cd from around that time period. Bob Dylan had a few "Wilbury-esque" tunes on one of his cds too. Roy Orbison's songs on Mystery Girl don't sound as Wilbury-esque, but "You Got It" and "California Blue" were co-written with Jeff Lynne and Tom Petty (about half the songs on the cd are produced by Jeff Lynne), and Petty and Lynne play/sing on those two songs, and another song, "A Love So Beautiful" is co-written with Lynne and features George Harrison on guitar.
So it's pretty easy to assemble your own "Travelling Wilburys vol. 2" if you have the following cds:
Roy Orbison - Mystery Girl
Jeff Lynne - Armchair Theater (really his only actual solo cd)
Tom Petty - Full Moon Fever and/or Into The Great Wide Open
George Harrison - Cloud Nine (and possibly others of his)
Bob Dylan - Under The Red Sky (and possibly others of his)
