The expression ‘Indian Summer’ has been in use for over two centuries, typically meaning a warm spell that comes through after the first frost (around late October to early November in North America). It’s a season known by many names - Crone’s Summer in Hungary, St Theresa’s Summer in Belgium, Gypsy Summer in Bulgaria, and St Martin’s Summer in France & Italy.

This debut performance of the song came August 5th, 2003 in Tucson Arizona - before it was released as part of Scarlet’s Hidden Treasures!

Tombigbee is actually a river that runs through northern Georgia, something of the Trail of Tears’ place of origin, and Tori’s source for this Scarlet Treasure. (Also actually the 33rd song in our timeline of 40 Essential B-sides, Rarities & Treasures. Whew!)

A friendly reminder that we’ll be collecting ballots for The Greatest Albums of Tori Amos until early September! Your finalized ballot should rank *all 12* of her solo studio albums.

Email your lists to torisongs@gmail.com, share a google doc, or send through a message on facebook. If you’d like to post them to twitter or tumblr, please use hashtag #ta12 so that we can count your ballot!

HOORAY!!! OUR FIRST TUMBLR SUBMISSION

y’all are amazing. seriously. almost 25 submissions in the last 48 hours. we love you so hard.

you’re all officially invited to join in the creation of a new list, ranking tori’s albums. your finalized ballot should rank all twelve of her solo studio albums.

as with the previous lists, this ranking should be both a mix of how close the album is to your heart + the overarching greatness of the album. our formula is simple - to discover tori’s greatest works (original compositions, cover songs, and now solo studio albums), we quantify the collective favorites of her most ardent and observant listeners (that’s you!). so, the composite favourites = the. greatest.

a recap of her albums, in chronological order:
little earthquakes
under the pink
boys for pele
from the choirgirl hotel
to venus and back
strange little girls
scarlet’s walk
the beekeeper
american doll posse
abnormally attracted to sin
midwinter graces
night of hunters

methods of submission:

• email your lists to torisongs@gmail.com
• share a google doc
• send them through a message on facebook
• post them to twitter (@torisongs) or tumblr with hashtag #ta12

as the list won’t be released until late summer, we’ve set a goal to exceed 100 submitted ballots. please help by sharing, reblogging & recruiting!
