CNN Newsroom #musicmonday Features Tori

Tori was Brooke Baldwin’s guest for the #musicmonday feature of today’s CNN Newsroom. Taken from an interview done last December during the Night of Hunters tour, the spot features Tori discussing the energy she derives from performing live and accepting her age, characterizing herself as a “classic car” — presumably with restrung wires and polished rims, no doubt!

If, like us, you missed it when it was on, check out the clip on the CNN Newsroom blog — or just watch it below:

VH1's 100 Greatest Women In Music

According to a press release from VH1, Tori will be one of several industry experts, pop culture critics and music artists offering commentary during VH1’s “100 Greatest Women in Music,” a 5-night special special premiering during the week of February 13th. The series will numerate the top hundred women artists who have made their a mark on the music industry over the past twenty years.

Considering Tori’s career neatly overlaps with the two decades the program is examining, we certainly wouldn’t be surprised to see her pop up on the list herself — particularly as she did so the last time VH1 did this but, as always, we shall see…

Check it out starting Monday, February 13th at 10:00 PM ET/9:00 PM CT. The series concludes on Friday, February 17th.

Listen To Tori On The World Cafe

If you missed Tori on The World Cafe, which was broadcast on WXPN and other public radio stations in the United States last Friday, January 13th, you can now stream it on npr.org from their extensive audio archive.

The half-hour in-studio appearance included an excellent chat between Tori and WXPN’s Michaela Majoun about Night of Hunters and three live performances: “Nautical Twilight,” “Edge of the Moon,” and “Winter.” (The set list on NPR’s site includes “Cactus Practice” but that was just an album cut played to showcase Tori’s daugter’s Natashya’s voice.) Additionally, a live performance of “Snow Angel,” which was not broadcast, is included as a web extra — the link to that is on the left below the setlist.

While you’re there, take a peek at the other Tori-related audio in NPR’s archive. There’s quite a collection of live performances, studio appearances and interviews going all the way back to 2002.

Tori Visits The World Cafe Today

Tori stopped by Austin radio station KGSR today and performed live on the air in their Music Lounge. KGSR has kindly posted the video on their website so not only can you listen (if, like us, you missed it when it was aired) but watch it too! Technology!

The session included performances of “Winter,” “Upside Down,” “Edge of the Moon,” and “Star of Wonder” and an interview segment by KGSR deejay Kristen Kurtis — who got her photo with Tori like any good fan!

They’ve also posted a photo album from the session (which we’ve shamelessly reproduced below).

The segment Tori recorded for Tell Me More back at the start of the month was broadcast as part of today’s episode of this NPR radio program. Even though some stations that carry the program have not aired this episode yet, it is already available for streaming and download from NPR.

In addition, NPR has also kindly posted a story about the appearance that includes video of Tori performing “Edge of the Moon” from the in-studio:

The full appearance included an interview with Tell Me More’s host Michel Martin as well as live performances of “Edge of the Moon,” “Nautical Twilight,” and “Winter.”

Details About The Rosie Show Taping

On Monday, December 11th, several Toriphiles were lucky enough to attend the taping for the upcoming episode of The Rosie Show that Tori will be on and kindly reported on what transpired.

The taping included an interview segment and three songs: “Edge of the Moon,” “Silent All These Years” (Rosie’s request), and “Crucify,” as a duet with Rosie herself.

The airdate of the episode has not yet been announced but we’re certainly looking forward to see what ends up being broadcast! Soon as we get wind of the date to set your DVRs, VCRs and Betamaxes, we’ll get the word out.

Incidentally, as we all know, Rosie’s a fan and she tweeted about having done some Tori-inspired painting, posting a photograph and close-up of it.

Thanks to Ashley and JoeyLove for the report!
